We arrived a bit early but were seated right away. There was an adequate number of choices and there were vegetarian choices. We both really liked our entrees (pasta dish and lentil stew) and dessert (cheesecake and beignets). Our server was attentive but not too attentive. Overall the ambiance and food were excellent. Highly recommend.

About the restaurant

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.
