Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Arvada

We were right on time for our reservation and got right in. Our waitress was super attentive and very accommodating. She went out of her way to find out about live music in the city. The food was excellent. We highly recommend for a nice outing for brunch with your significant other or family.

There is no better place to have fun, eat socialize and get wonderful drinks and appetizers. In the heart of low high, Denver and close to downtown is a wonderful restaurant for meeting friends, family, and walking to Little man ice cream after dinner.

El Five is a must-visit culinary gem in Denver! From the moment you step into the stunning rooftop space, you’re greeted with breathtaking panoramic views of the city and mountains, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The atmosphere is vibrant yet sophisticated, and the service is impeccable. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Their tapas-style menu offers a creative fusion of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors, and every dish is a work of art. The lamb ribs and paella were standout favorites, bursting with bold, perfectly balanced flavors. And don’t miss their signature cocktails—they’re as delicious as they are beautifully crafted. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a memorable night out, El Five delivers on every level. It’s the perfect spot for amazing food, unbeatable views, and a truly unique experience in Denver. Highly recommend!

Great food and service as always. We really appreciated the staff taking food restrictions (allergy) seriously too - you can’t always tell what’s in a dish based on the description and their extra effort to check full ingredient lists and swap out sauces was 💜. Thanks and we’ll continue to come back.

Despite a mix up with our reservation time our family of 5 was able to be seated at the corner of the bar which was great. We had our meal in front of some old Seinfeld shows on the bar TV which was a nice NY experience. Staff and food were both great.
