For a Michelin recommended restaurants, I was a bit disappointed. The Beef Carpaccio was pressed in a bun which was not really my favorite. Mexican shrimp was tasteful. The steak we had was a little too much smoked but overall very good. Kimichi rice was delicious.

We were really looking forward to dining here, but unfortunately our experience was very disappointing. From the start, service was extremely slow — it took about 30 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order, and then another 30 minutes before those drinks actually arrived. By that point, we had already been seated for an hour without food. When we finally ordered, we asked for an appetizer along with our entrées. The appetizer never arrived, and after I reminded our server, it took another 15 minutes for the wrong dish to be brought out. At that point, we gave up on it entirely. The food itself was generally good — the steaks were cooked well and the sides were solid, though the kimchi bacon rice felt like the flavors clashed rather than worked together. But the overall experience was overshadowed by poor service. A second round of drinks took another long wait and had to be asked about multiple times. By the time the check came, we had been there for over two hours and just wanted to leave. Our server mentioned comping fries for “their error,” which confused us since there was no issue with fries — but not with the missing appetizer. On top of everything, a mandatory 20% service charge was added, which felt frustrating given how bad the service had been. Overall, while the food had potential, the lack of attentiveness, mix-ups, and extremely long waits made the evening unenjoyable. I would not recommend this restaurant based on our experience.

One of my favorite restaurants in Denver! I went here while on business and the food was exceptional! I would recommend this restaurant.

We had a great experience at A5! The host greeted us and said happy birthday! Joe, our server, was attentive and informative. We enjoyed everything we ate. The poutine was soo good! I loved the korean lettuce wraps as well.
Christina
My husband and I dined at A5 for our anniversary. The staff was incredible, from the bartenders to our waiter. The food was nothing short of impeccable and the restaurant is really well done and cozy.

In town for work and took the opportunity to grab a nice dinner with my daughter. We were both in the mood for steak and wanted to enjoy a delicious, leisurely-paced meal. We were absolutely pleased on all counts! The vibe is high energy without being intrusive or obnoxious. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, incredibly aware, and appropriately attentive. Their cocktails are artful and exquisite. And the food... OMG. They had a special shishito pepper appetizer recommended by Carlos our server, and we can't thank him enough. Perfectly charred and seasoned, and along with the sashimi were a superb kickoff to a fabulous meal. We shared the perfectly cooked bone-in NY and could barely finish it along with the scallops and frites. The Margeaux blend paired delectably with it all. Our only regret is not leaving room for dessert. We'll take care of that next time!

Our server was amazing and the food was great. We especially loved the lobster salad and the house salad but everything was wonderful.
Kristin
We loved everything about our experience at A5! Everything we ate was amazing, and the services was wonderful. So much better than traditional stuffy steakhouses!
Kay
Absolutely worth a visit while in Denver. Everything was perfect from the host stand's greeting to our waitress to the food and beverages and the overall vibe. We truly enjoyed everything we had, cannot recommend enough!

The food was wonderful. Everything we ordered was very very good. However, we expected better service at this high end restaurant that was highly rated on reviews. To start we did not receive bread and butter at the table. We thought maybe this is just not provided at this restaurant unlike other steakhouses we have visited. Unfortunately as we left we saw many tables that had delicious looking bread on them. There was no appetizer or side listed for just bread. Next, my wife ordered a glass of wine. She didn't receive it before the meal so we thought it would be delivered with the meal. We were more than half way through before we noticed the wine was missing. By the time our waiter came back around we were finished with my meal. The final thing was, an admittedly pet peeve of mine, we did not receive refills of our water glasses again until the end of our meal. While these things may seem unimportant because the food was great, I think I will try other steakhouses in Denver on my next visit Rodney Bughao
Always wonderful! It's one of our fav spots for apps and dinner. Our friends in town from Austin loved it!
TOM
Sat at the bar. Bar staff were very friendly and service was excellent. Wedge salad was very good and large. Steaks were cooked perfectly.
Jennifer
Love this place. The food is outstanding and original, and the service cannot be beat. We were treated so well the other night, I can't wait to return.
Katie
Quieter than usual in a great way. Maybe more steak options since the restaurant is named A5. I absolutely love the sides tho!!

Exception food and nice service. Pork Chop with palisade peach mostarda was the best I have had in a long long time.
