Nestled high above LoHi on the fifth floor of 2930 Umatilla, El Five boasts spectacular, unobstructed views of the downtown Denver skyline. The menu is an homage to the Mediterranean and features small plates built on bold flavors found throughout the region: Spain, North Africa, the Middle East.

Inside, the space is understated and sensual, flanked by a large, open-air patio for sun-kissed Colorado nights. As the newest restaurant in the Edible Beats family, El Five celebrates the confluence of flavors, ideas and geographies made possible by a subtle shift in perspective.

    Overall great food and ambiance. Service was a little slow. Food is very good but also rich and unique so with tapas style dining there was bound to be some flavors we didn't like but that doesn't necessarily mean anything was bad. This place always has delicious, well presented food and a location, ambiance and view that can't be beat.

    I wish we went at another time. Just way too busy with the Valentine’s rush and majority of the food was cold and it did affect how much we enjoyed our meal. It’s very pretty, highly recommend the Zombie drink, it’s a two drink max, each $19.

    Got sat on the side with a poor view. Good amounts were very small for amount paid. Service was very slow and overall a bad deal.
