★★★★★ 5.0 Jacqueline Telljohann · Mar 2026

I came here with my husband and two of our friends and we all shared everything. This is the way to do it so you can try more. We ordered: - Spreads of the Med - Carbon Culture Mushroom Paella - Matzo Ball Soup Dumplings - Harissa Eggplant Fries - Goat Cheese Croquettas - Bison Meatballs - Mushroom Bourekas - Turkish Kunefe - Crema Catalana - Basque Cheesecake Every single thing was amazing. If I had to pick favorites, it would probably be the eggplant fries, paella, and goat cheese croquettes. I don't usually like eggplant but the crispiness of the fries really improved the texture and the sauce was so good. All three desserts were fantastic. I'm not sure that I can pick a favorite. Linger was previously my favorite restaurant in Denver and now it might be El Five. This restaurant gro

Wow. Just wow. Started with amazing views and a drink before being seated for dinner. Loved the Mediterranean dips (you can get a half order), goat cheese croquettas, harissa eggplant fries, Tunisian couscous with lamb kebabs and sea bass! We decided on more Tapas options instead of paella. Next time paella!! Rowe was a very knowledgeable Wine Director and we had a lovely bottle of Spanish red. Service was stellar, we shall return.

We love going to El five for celebrations. This time we sat at the chef’s counter and it was a wonderful experience! Food was phenomal! Nick, the chef gave us wonderful recommendations and we couldn’t have left happier. The caviar flight and the seafood paella were our favorites!! Amazing experience!

El Five was exceptional ! Best paella I’ve ever had. The Chilean sea bass was delicious. We drove from the springs just for my bday and our party could not stop talking about how good it was. Make sure to get the garlic hummus and the chicken croquets

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE: Service and food was not what I was expecting from the price point that guests are expected to pay. I made reservations 2 weeks in advance with a request for a "city view." When we arrived they had tables available but it would be about 30-45 min for the patio. They sat us at the bar while waiting for a table, which is perfect to start with drinks and tapas. However, the bartender looked annoyed that we were sitting at his bar while we waited for a table. He took over 10 min to take our drink orders. I asked for a Tito's martini and of course they only offer Kettle (top shelf). Thats when I noticed that their mission is to rack up that bill. Drinks came and he didnt even offer to take a tapas or appetizer order. I had to ask him if I could get started with a co
