El Five
How to book: DAYS for prime sunset/weekend times — reserve ahead, especially for a skyline-view table at golden hour. Confirm current hours on the official site.
Best meal: Dinner at sunset — eastern-Mediterranean small plates and cocktails with the skyline view are the point.
Who it’s NOT for: Budget diners — upscale tapas add up; it's a splurge-leaning price point. Diners who want a full plated entrée format — the menu is shareable small plates/pintxos. Anyone wanting a quiet, intimate room — it's a buzzy, scene-y rooftop. View-indifferent travelers who won't leave downtown — the draw is the LoHi rooftop panorama (a short hop from LoDo).
