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.

    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.

    Great food! Not super expensive, but not cheap. About $210 for 3 including 3 glasses of wine but not tip and obligatory 5% service surcharge. Will definitely return for special occasions.
