the Fifth String,

"Delicious and with solid wine options. No chefs menu but every dish was delicious. Great service with good explanations of each dish. Would like to see more specials; hoping for seasonal menu rotation. Will definitely try again."

"HOLY SH!T. How is this place not the busiest in Denver?!? Best meal I have had in Denver yet. Chef and bar crew went WAY above and beyond with allergies, and made a point to say they take allergies as a challenge and fun option not a burden (wow, seriously? A blessing). The drinks and the food were incredible. The tallow candle perhaps the most fun and inventive despite being just the option for bread to start—really set the bar high! Chef brought out more bread with the “Gems” salad—also whoah…it has no business being this delicious?!?! We got the chicken and short ribs both sans dairy and wow—if these options were on the menu all the time we wouldn’t have asked questions before ordering. We paired dinner with a natural orange wine that’s so new it was off menu, but a perfect calm wine pairing to highlight the food without overpowering and yet compliment it more—hat’s off to the wine crew! The dessert we were again pleasantly surprised by how rich a non-dairy orange chocolate sorbet could be! Paired with a Negroni twist and the chai cocktail on menu it was SO GOOD! Seriously cannot wait to take friends here from out of town as it’s one of the first non-taco spots that I want to recommend and the food plus drinks were out of this world."

"I'd say 4.5 stars. There is a free parking lot on the side of the building which is awesome! I was greeted right away when I walked in and seated with my party. The service was great...friendly and quick. I enjoyed the cocktail that was recommended by the server (yuzu enjoy me). It was adventurous for us, but had to try the tallow candle bread service. It was good with the herbs they put in there. My friends said they could taste the beef flavor, but I didn't necessarily notice it. I don't remember the name of my dish, but it was a crab and lobster curry. It was okay, but I didn't love it (might be more my taste versus the quality of the dish). It was a little spicy for me, but the servers kept my water filled, which is lacking at a lot of places these days. The dessert menu looked good, but we didn't have any this time. They do put a 6% service charge on the bill."

"This place was next level- the portions are small but don't over do it! We got triple apps and almost couldnt eat the amazing steak and scallops! Maybe could have skipped the cheese on fire - it was good but not as unique as most other dishes. Overall great service, top quality dishes, and great drinks! Worth the top dollar prices!"

"New favorite restaurant!! Wow! The ambiance is sexy and intimate, I haven’t heard of any of the cocktail concoctions they had (which I appreciate) I had the espresso martini from the menu. Each dish is beautifully composed, with the option to add on oysters or seafood. We started with the cheese appetizer that they light on fire in a mini cast iron skillet. Our server spoke way to fast and we had to consistently ask what she had just said (weird… slow down lol). Amazing place and I can’t wait to go back"
