About El Five

El Five is a captivating restaurant that offers a diverse menu with delectable options. The seafood paella, chicken confit croquetas, bison albondigas, and ibérico secreto are standout dishes, praised for their incredible flavors. Guests have mentioned the unique and spicy seabass, complemented beautifully by a lovely jam. The calamari special, served in a delicious tomato sauce with crispy bread, has also been well received. The staff is friendly and attentive, bringing a joyful vibe to the experience. While some guests noted that service could be slower initially, once the first dishes arrive, the pacing becomes perfect, with food coming out one dish at a time.

Located on the 5th floor, El Five boasts enviable views that enhance the dining experience, especially on nights when the city view is gorgeous and feels very sexy and New Yorky. Guests can enjoy an amazing window table with a beautiful view of Denver. The cocktails are incredible, with standouts like the Tall Drink of Water and the 3 Thieves, which guests have described as NYC quality drinks. The burrata and sea bass were delicious, while the bison meatballs had mixed reviews. The garlic dip was light and airy, and the crema catalina was again a favorite. The vanilla genoise was mentioned as a disappointment, but the food and atmosphere made the night memorable.

El Five is part of the ediblebeats Denver family, a 100% employee-owned restaurant group committed to sustainability and community. Visitors have noted that the hospitality is exceptional, making El Five a worthwhile investment for any occasion. Each plate is a beautiful flavor experience, and the cocktails are phenomenal. The chef’s counter offers a unique vantage point for the evening, adding to the overall dining experience.

I was surprised with dinner for my Birthday, and you did not disappoint!

Not only was everything we tried ( I'm seriously going to dream about the harissa eggplant fries) but the attention to detail and the fresh flavors were out of this world!
Additionally, special attention was paid to our food allergies and It was a huge weight off our shoulders to not have to worry about that!

We will definitely be back and I highly recommend it!
