    My son and his girlfriend treated me for My birthday. He wanted to try just about everything. We ordered a Rioja salad which I loved and we ordered 1/2 orders of the pastas just to try them all. The 2 favorites were the pappardelle with pork and the artichoke tortelloni. We ordered the bacon wrapped cod, the braised short rib (my favorite) and the octopus which was soft and cooked to perfection as entrees. Dessert was a butterscotch buddino and the chocolate citrus mousse. All was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. Super friendly staff as well and very attentive. Would highly recommend giving Rioja a try.

    It was our first time in to El Five. My partner picked the place for our anniversary dinner. Everyone we saw, from the waitstaff to the clerk at the elevator, was super friendly and welcoming. A stand out, was our server Tyler. He had great suggestions, and was a delight. The food in the restaurant was amazing, and the atmosphere was really cool. I hope to return one day.
