5 stars! You are always greeted with friendly faces the moment you walk in the door. We sat in a high top table in the bar - a great energetic atmosphere. Alex helped us out and went above and beyond so we could have a great dining experience! Food, martinis, and wine were excellent as always. The seafood and martini happy hour item was delicious! We will keep coming back every week!

This was a fantastic event at Tamayo, Chef Richard Sandoval was a fantastic story teller and was basking in his signature restaurant founded 25 years ago in 2004. I have personally been coming to Tamayo for all of those 25 years. I have never been disappointed in the service and quality of the food and drink, and last night for the celebration of the Dia de los Muertos. Special drinks, food and stories from Chef were all on the menu and the applause for Chef Sandoval’s staff was refreshing. Great night and great times had by all.

The food was absolutely outstanding! The chefs do an excellent job with aromatics and flavor combinations. The service was impeccable. My friend was quite particular about her wine selection and they were quite accommodating until finding just the right one. We had one small issue with one of the dishes we ordered, and the staff went above and beyond to right the wrong. I was quite literally shocked at how completely professional and gracious the entire staff were, from top to bottom. I will dine here again and again, and recommend to everyone I see!

My first time dining at El Five was absolutely amazing! From the beautiful views and stunning bar to the welcoming hosts and attentive staff, the entire experience was exceptional. A special shoutout to our server, Taylor, because he truly deserves his flowers, cookies, and cakes! The menu is unique and exciting, but Taylor’s knowledge of every dish made ordering so seamless, especially for someone experiencing this style of cuisine for the first time. Almost everything we ordered was based on his recommendations, and he did not disappoint! The appetizers are an absolute must-try, and everything tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully paired. The cocktails were another highlight. I love a creative cocktail that actually tastes as good as it looks, and El Five delivered! If you’re looking to step outside the usual Denver dining scene and enjoy something different, upscale, and memorable, I highly recommend El Five. The food, atmosphere, service, and overall experience were wonderful. I genuinely enjoyed every moment and will absolutely be returning!

Second time been to this restaurant. Out of the two times. Always amazing food, service and great vibes! Looking forward to going back there very soon for some great food to try more. Ali the General manager was so fantastic, came over to make sure everything was tasting great and that we were taken care of well both times we visited. Can’t say enough good things about salt water. Thank you.

Maegan’s service was exceptional. Seth, Rachel, and Mark were also fantastic. Without a doubt, the best Italian restaurant in Denver and one of the best in the country. Dinner was fabulous!
