I had a fantastic time hanging out at the chefs counter with Kyle and Dave. Each plate was a beautiful flavor experience and I savored every bit, and the cocktails I had were phenomenal (get the old turk as a night cap). My server, Kat, was extremely personable and fun, and I could tell with every team member I interacted with there's a sense of happiness and pride with the work they do. Definitely recommend reserving a spot here if you're a food lover who enjoys really *experiencing* their meals.

Out waitress Sierra was amazing. Very knowledgeable of the menu and gave great suggestions. She definitely made my bday celebration worthwhile. Kuddos

The server staff here is great. They were so attentive. We did just tapas so we could both share. The burrata and sea bass was delicious. The bison meatballs, ehh could take them or leave them. The garlic dip was light and airy. We enjoyed the duck bastilla also. The crema catalina again was a favorite. The vanilla genoise was a disappointment. It had no flavor at all. We were seated on the opposite side of the restaurant and couldn't see the Denver view which was disappointing. Over all it was a nice night out.

Love this place 10/10 if you're in Denver. The tapas are amazing and the service exceptional
Opentable Diner
The food and the atmosphere made the night. Drinks were very nice and the waiter was especially helpful with choices and pairing of food and drink. We sat outside and it was a perfect night to celebrate a birthday. Really love this place.
Jenna
Very accommodating for food allergies and the waitress was very patient working through what we were able to order.

The paella was burnt. Never had burnt shrimp before in my life. Never want that taste in my mouth again. Also not sure why they sat a me and my 6”3 boyfriend in the world’s smallest table and had me sitting in the aisle. They did move us but not a good first experience.

Went to El Five for our 24th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful time! The food, service and view from the balcony were all perfect. Our server could not have been more incredible.
Another great dinner with thoughtful service. The Bison Hanger steak was cooked perfectly but lacked flavor and seasoning.

We went to El Five to celebrate my friend’s birthday, but unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing.
First, we found a fly in the water. The staff just took it away without offering an apology, which felt careless.
The food was not much better. One of the appetizers, the scallop tapas, looked unappealing and tasted just as bad. The paellas, especially the meat one, were also very disappointing. There was too much processed meat, very little real meat, and what was there was more like ground or pressed meat—definitely not steak as expected.
Overall, both the service and the food were far below what we had hoped for. Definitely not the experience we wanted for a special occasion.

Took a friend for his first time and he commented how amazing the staff all were. That the staff all genuinely were excited to be there, enjoyed their jobs and sharing the experience with us. So cool to see!

Bad scalops, meat paella bad it had more deli meat than real meat. We also find a fly in our water :( And our server was just not helpful and seem pretty up to our observations.

Panoramic city views with bold, flavorful Mediterranean tapas.
