Food is delicious but we paid over $200 for two people. In my opinion it's overpriced for what you get but kind of understandable due to the location. Would consider coming back but since i don't live in CO I would probably try other new restaurants. but definitely a place to try at least once. read more

Steak was pretty great but hard to imagine spending that kind of money in such a relaxed atmosphere. People in sweatpants while I spend $130 on a steak? Also, I love a sustainable wage but then say that on the menu and suggest not tip on top of that. Otherwise, you're amending 40% more for your already crazy expensive food. read more

Went didn't go well...? Nothing. Nicole was an amazing waitress and Mark who I believe was the manager maybe was keeping an eye on everything. I have never been to a restaurant where I could relax and NOT feel rushed to finish and turn over the table for the next party. 3 of us hung out for 2 hours because of the experience. Drinks: Amazing would recommend anything. Food: Holy Molly - the Mac-N-Cheese Croquets.... Out of this world yummy. The bacon melts in your mouth and the steaks are perfections. Steaks: Denver, Tri-Tip, Pa.... Forgot where enough for 3 grown men after the small plates. One of the best steakhouse experiences I've had in a long time. 5/5 read more

I came here for my birthday around 6PM. Definitely make reservations because they will make you wait to get a table since reservations are priority. The bar is always open for walk ins if they are not busy. The staff were amazing. They were friendly, communicative, and friendly. The food was cooked to perfection. We ordered the NY 30oz sirloin steak, poutine, and Mac & cheese coquettes. Everything was so delicious. The steak was so juicy. The place has such a nice vibe. Perfect for girls night or date nights. There is street parking and many parking decks nearby. I'd love to come back. read more

More of an Asian fusion steakhouse than a traditional steakhouse. Ordered the tri tip steak, and would definitely recommend the au poivre sauce. The bacon was a solid app and not what you typically think of when you think of bacon. We went during happy hour and got the popcorn (which I believe is only served during happy hour). Good service, and a lively (but also quiet?) after work spot, for either happy hour drinks or a full on dinner. read more

I highly debated whether to go with 4 or 5 stars on this. As you can see I elected a 5 star. Here's why; All the meat we tried was absolutely delicious. Their house salad is amazing. The Waygu skewers are a must. Our waiter Mario did a stellar job, he did a good job with recommendations and checking on us throughout. The ambiance has sort of a hipster vibe, not necessarily my favorite but somewhat upscale and on the smaller side. I will say the popcorn appetizer was not good, the popcorn was stale. Other than that everything was really good, especially the steaks and meat options. This place is expensive, unless you go during happy hour and get the burger or wagyu skewers, it's affordable and delicious! I would go back. Happy eating. read more

We were really looking forward to dining here, but unfortunately our experience was very disappointing. From the start, service was extremely slow -- it took about 30 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order, and then another 30 minutes before those drinks actually arrived. By that point, we had already been seated for an hour without food. When we finally ordered, we asked for an appetizer along with our entrées. The appetizer never arrived, and after I reminded our server, it took another 15 minutes for the wrong dish to be brought out. At that point, we gave up on it entirely. As well as we had someone with a gluten allergy and asked if the fries were gluten free and the waiter said yes they were, when they were not. The food itself was generally good -- the steaks were cooked well and the sides were solid, though the kimchi bacon rice felt like the flavors clashed rather than worked together. But the overall experience was overshadowed by poor service. A second round of drinks took another long wait and had to be asked about multiple times. By the time the check came, we had been there for over two hours and just wanted to leave. Our server mentioned comping fries for "their error," which confused us since there was no issue with fries -- but not with the missing appetizer. On top of everything, a mandatory 20% service charge was added, which felt frustrating given how bad the service had been. Overall, while the food had potential, the lack of attentiveness, mix-ups, and extremely long waits made the evening unenjoyable. I would not recommend this restaurant based on our experience. Edit: The restaurant reached out after my review, but unfortunately the follow-up made us feel even worse. Rather than listening and taking accountability, the response focused on disputing the timeline and minimizing our experience, which came across as dismissive. It was disappointing to see that same lack of attentiveness carry through even after the fact. read more

Everything was top notch delish. Service was great, highly recommend when enjoying LoDo

Kindell, our server provided the best of the best quality of service. She truly went above and beyond when my wife and I spent our anniversary dinner at A5. Our meals were delicious!! Kindell was the highlight, however. Thanks for taking care of us with the utmost honor! read more

Service and ambiance were really good but I am always here for the food! Caesar salad was dressed and seasoned very nicely. Love a good amount of anchovies and Parmesan. Hamachi was great, very refreshing and good red chilis Steak took the longest to come out and was basically black and blue not rare. Pretty cold in the center still and not really seasoned for that thick of a steak. read more

Food was pretty good. Cool vibe inside the place. Service was prompt and staff was all very nice. One thing that was unacceptable is that they didn't devein the lobster tail that I added onto the steak entree. This is unacceptable for a restaurant with this level of pricing and expectations. I had to cut open and devein it myself. read more

First and foremost, there was a hair on our tomahawk steak. Our reservation was at 6, we got there at 6:05 and got pressed by the rude host in the front. He was a true class act a**hole. We walked in and were referred to as bros, told him we had a reservation, and got the blankest stare and asked us "who are you"... while proceeding to tell us that we're lucky to have been seated for being late and that we're on the buzzer and that we better call next time. We sat down then he came back and asked us if we got his phone call? And to check our phones next time because he called us. We were also the only people of color in the place and of course they had us by the door away from everyone else. Food was bomb. Too bad it was a horrible experience. Hope you all learn. Free dessert doesn't make up for anything, do better. read more

Update one year later after coming back to visit from ATX - this place is nothing less than a 5 star experience. Staff is so friendly. The food continues to blow my mind. The vibes are immaculate. This restaurant group knows what they're doing. read more

That burger is the best tasting burger I've had in Denver. I was shocked how tasty and juicy and flavorful it was. This is worth 2x its price. Must have for happy hour. Service was top tier. The vibes here are immaculate. Also got the Mac and cheese croquette 10/10. With their spicy red sauce. This is a perfect place for happy hour or a nice dinner. Highly recommend any day of the week. This is the best burger in town hands down. Especially for this price. I'd put this burger against anyone across the nation. read more

My company and a client went to A5 for a business dinner and were delighted. Upon entering, my party remarked at the non-stuffy warmth. Despite being a steakhouse, the decor was more modern punk cowboy than staunch white tablecloth. Moving on to service, I generally found service to be good. I did feel things moved a bit slower than I expected given the restaurant was not crowded, and we were one of the bigger tables, however, I didn't think this marred the night in any way. Drinks were good. Some of us enjoyed mixed drinks, others wine, but all were satisfied. I think my only caveat is that there was no sommelier present and I felt the wine we ended up with, although good, was not particularly unique or memorable. The food was the highlight by far. From the Asian fusion appetizers, to the delectable rolls, to the wonderful sides, everything tasted wonderful. Needless to say, the steaks stole the show. A variety of different cuts were offered and each felt special and elevated. I got mine with bone marrow and felt (despite not having a filet mignon option) the meat was as well prepared, flavorful, and tender as that at steakhouses that are double the price. This brings me to pricing. The pricing was very fair and you could do a dinner for two for about $130 depending on what you ordered (pre tax and tip) which is remarkable for a steakhouse. All said, despite a few small hiccups, I highly recommend A5. Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 3.5/5 Drinks: 4/5 Food: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Consistency: N/A read more

A5 Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Even though Open Table said there were no tables, I called the restaurant and they were able to fit us in. That was the first good sign. Service throughout the evening was professional, friendly, attentive when necessary, and otherwise out of your way. The atmosphere was elevated for a steakhouse, not your typical vibe, with brighter colors and quirky (but neat) cow art. We caught the end of happy hour, and ordered the "mac & cheese croquettes", which are not usually something I would order. These were delightful, with a thin crispy outer, and still gooey, cheesy inside, on a pepper puree. Great start. I ordered a Black Hawk Farms Wagyu Denver steak, and my wife had a Hamachi Kama (yellowtail collar). The latter leaning into the Asian inspiration of the restaurant. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare (standard preparation for fattier wagyu), and it came out perfectly finished. They offer several sauce options, but really none are required--this steak shines on its own. The Hamachi Kama was huge, and well grilled. I generally see these a bit smaller, where you have to work to get all of the meat. Not so with this one. It was easily a meal in itself. The whipped potatoes were also very good, but the charred cabbage is a must-try side. Cooked tender with just enough bite, and a delicate, flavorful sauce that is more of a broth (which goes well with the potatoes as well, hint hint). It struck me as an elevated, Asian inspired answer to the creamed spinach that is so prevalent on steakhouse menus. They also had Australian F2 and Miyazaki beef on the menu--items that are not all that common on most US steakhouse menus. If you are a steak lover, this is your place. read more

We came here for our anniversary and the food was fantastic! I highly recommend coming here to try some of their dishes - they are unique and delicious. The service wasn't that great, we were waiting for our food and then bill for extended periods of time. All the food came out at once too when the server said he would stagger it (entrees came out before our appetizers which was a little annoying). The drinks are also not worth the price (tiny and expensive). I would recommend going somewhere else if you want a good cocktail. But overall we came here for the food and it didn't disappoint, even though it arrived out of order. We would go back for the salad, Mac and cheese, and lettuce wraps. So good! read more

Will need to come back here again for sure. What makes A5 special is they have a secret menu and have meats that will be available for that day only. My father and I went and had a great time. We were sat on the 2nd floor which had a nice view of the restaurant. Our server told us about a few tips when getting certain dishes to a secret menu which includes things like a burger. They had a delmonaco steak which we both got, believe it was the last ones of the night so they weren't the best cut. Only reason I gave it 4 and not 5 stars. The Japanese Milk Bread was delicious and you need to get the butter with it, almost took an order home that night. We had oysters that evening and their selection was shockingly fantastic. The sides were really great as well especially the fried rice. Service and drinks were all winners in our books and we look forward to going back again soon! Wouldn't be surprised if they achieve Michelin guide in the next year or 2. read more

We were in Denver for a concert at Fiddler's Green and were looking for a nice dinner place -- HOWEVER, this concert was on Labor Day. We found many restaurants were closed for the holiday and were happy to see A5 Steakhouse was taking reservations online! We made a reservation, which includes giving a credit card, and headed to A5 -- only to find it closed!! Its not a bad thing they closed for the holiday, but TAKING A RESERVATION for a time they are closed is NOT GOOD. A5 needs to get their online act together! read more

We loved it here! Best place for a good steak at a fair price. They were great with my two little kids, and the interior was nice and clean.

What a great evening!! My grandson brought my daughter and I for dinner while visiting him in Denver. We were treated like celebrities!! The entire staff was wonderful! The food was excellent!!! Our bartender Britney treated us like family! The only downfall, visiting from PA means I can't frequent as I would like. Thank you all for a memorable evening!! read more

Absolutely delicious! Our plane landed late and we were worried about having to push out our reservations, but the restaurant was super easy and accommodating. Our server was super personable. So much so we ordered a $140 steak with zero hesitation and we've never done that! Every bite of the food we ordered was incredible. Our only regret was not having room for dessert! The atmosphere is really cozy and has a great vibe whether you're meeting friends or wanting a nice dinner with a partner. I highly recommend this spot! I know we'll be visiting again during our next trip to Denver. Maybe we'll save room for dessert this time! read more

Wow, wow, & wow. My partner and I had such a pleasant experience at A5. The service really made the visit even more enjoyable because the food was very good. I thought their steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Really didn't even need sauce (that's how you know a steak is damn good!). The ambiance was a vibe too. They have a bar, ample seating and even a small section for seating upstairs too. Street parking was a bit tough to find around dinner time on a Thursday but didn't have to go more than 2 blocks. What I have to say is, go try A5 for yourself. I doubt you'll regret giving it a shot ;) read more

Great experience! Loved the place. It's not your classic steakhouse, the inside is way more funky with green, flamingos, and such. The atmosphere is a tad more relaxed as well. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The only person who worked against everyone else seemed to be the hostess. Don't ruin servers' good job! They are great. The food was outstanding. It took us a while to find a steak in Denver that we would enjoy over cooking ourselves. We started with shrimp cocktail, which was very good, but not to the level of the rest of the evening. I guess we were surprised it had no kick at all, but the sauce was tasty, just not very intense. Then, we had the mains: bavette, dry aged NY strip (special, not always available), fries (risk of cross-contamination for GF people), and broccolini. The meat was just perfect and delicious. The aioli that comes with fries is incredible and a bit lemony. The broccolini surprised us, being very flavourful as well, but I could not explain what was done to them. Finally, we ate the meat with Thai Chili and Bordelaise sauces - the first one being light, bright, and just a bit spicy, the second rich and delicious. Overall, we are already thinking about stopping for a happy hour someday. While they do not have dedicated gluten free dishes, our server was very helpful in navigating the menu and learning where there are risks of cross-contamination or where soy sauce is added. After all, steak itself is safe, so it's easy to get an amazing dinner while being GF. Try it! read more

We came to eat at A5 Steakhouse on Saturday night the 20th of May before attending a concert at the Ogden theater. I called the Tuesday prior and the guy who answered helped me get all squared away for the reservation. This place takes a deposit for your reservation, but it wasn't much, $30 I believe, which looking at from their end is smart, and not gouging you too much. We had drinks at the bar prior to getting sat at our table for dinner. Brent I believe was the bartender and he was helpful guiding us through the menu once we were sat on what to order. Once we got sat we ordered the NY Strip to split, along with the poutine, and the greens. NY Strip was cooked medium, and had great flavor. It came with this really unique house steak sauce, it had the perfect little touch of curry in it, the chimichurri was great also, I basically split all my bites with both sauces. Food was awesome, and we highly recommend this place to others. read more

Checked out this steakhouse and all the food was a hit! We ordered so many different dishes and they were all so good. Our server was great, gave us complimentary dessert, which was so nice! Since we got so many dishes, I'll just highlight my top 3 haha Beef Tartare Katsu Sandwich - Delicious! Wow, this sandwich was so delicious, the bread was so buttery and the beef tartare was so flavorful. Still thinking about this lol Buttermilk Fried Chicken - Amazing! I love the asian flavor twist on this. The skin was crispy on the outside and the inside was so soft and moist, not dry at all! Honey Nut Tart - Amazing! There was something so decadent about this dessert, all the flavors complimented each other. I was so full by this time, but I couldn't stop going in for more haha read more

I cannot praise this place enough! The service was amazing! Every single person we talked to was so nice and helpful. We even spoke to the GM and she was so friendly and made sure we were taken care of! The food was AMAZING! We didn't order much due to us having a late lunch but this burger is probably the best burger I've ever had. Plus they gave us a complimentary dessert! It was their take on a chocolate bar. It was surprisingly amazing! I would have never thought to put these flavors together but it was so good! The inside of the restaurant is so well decorated and is a great place for a romantic dinner date! Overall, I would definitely come back and I can't wait to tell all of my friends to stop in when they're in town! If I could give 6 stars I would! read more

My husband got us a reservation for Mother's Day as a surprise and boy was it!!! They had an oyster bar (12 for $50), Waugh beef steak and eggs and Waygu chilaquiles and crab and asparagus Benedict. So good- definitely a bit unorganized but staff was amazing and SO helpful and accommodating!!! A lot of the menu items were meant for sharing so ask about portions but well worth it to get to try EVERYTHING!! They don't advertise their brunch so call for reservations but a 15/10 for the food but 30/10 for the staff including Mario our server! Thanks for making Mother's Day so special! I've haven't ever tried this restaurant before but if this is an indication of the food on the regular, count me in! We WILL be back!! read more

We had a great experience at A5. We ordered a couple of drinks to start. The drinks were mostly ice but they tasted good without being overly strong. I read on the website that A5 is a Puerto Rican inspired restaurant. My boyfriend is Puerto Rican so we were expecting to see a few familiar dishes but the menu was geared more towards steak and Asian fusion dishes. We ordered the Japanese Milk Bread Rolls and the Mac n' cheese croquettes for our appetizers. The Japanese milk bread rolls were absolutely amazing! I read another review that compared them to Auntie Anne's pretzels. I'd add to that to say that these rolls were like a croissant and a pretzel were married together. They were light, flaky and fluffy with a little sea salt to enhance the flavor. The Mac n' cheese croquettes were crisp & crunchy on the outside and filled with melted cheesy macaroni. The dipping sauce had a nice little kick and tasted like a mix of sriracha and marinara. For dinner we ordered the tenderloin with chimichurri sauce and the Denver with the A5 steak sauce. Both steaks were cooked as requested and paired nicely with the sauces. We both preferred the chimichurri sauce. It was tangy, garlicky and had a nice amount of spice. I couldn't find the dessert menu but we had a maple dessert that was to die for. The maple was the star of the show but want too overpowering. We also had a fruit sorbet which was a little too tart so I only had a few bites. If you're looking to spend less, I'd recommend checking out A5 during their happy hour. Note that gratuity is included in the check. Overall, we enjoyed our evening at A5! read more

Ok, so I reviewed this in the past but have some changes. While the steaks and food in general is very good (5 stars) there are a few reasons I will skip A5 and instead go to the keg or another steak house in the future. 1. Price. A steak, sauce, fries, and a coke was $105. Hey, I know prices have gone up but come on. 2. Included tip: They now include 20% tip on your bill. This itself I'm all for, no issue. The issue is, they still leave a tip line on the bill making people feel uncomfortable not to leave more. So in the end most people will be out a total of 40%. That's crazy. At least make it VERY clear to leave the line blank for good service and that you normally shouldn't add anything else. 3. No free bread. Again, come on guys. Avg customer is paying over $100, you can't give them a few free rolls or bread? So once again, place is cool, food is awesome, but these few things need to be addressed before I put A5 back on my list. read more

Definitely visit here for HH as their food items are an excellent deal and you get a good tasting of their menu. We were immediately greeted by the host and seated at our table. We started with a half dozen of their oysters ($2.50 each on HH). The mac and cheese croquette was lightly battered in panko and had a garlicky tomato sauce. They had a special pork meatball skewer that had just the right amount of spice. Being a steakhouse, the highlight of the meal was the wagyu yakitori and wagyu A5 burger. The A5 burger is $13. It is 6 oz, grilled to perfection. Served on a toasted sesame seed bun with buterkasse cheese, griddled onions, pickles, and special sauce (my mouth is watering as I am writing about it!) My only complaint is the margarita had way too much ice. (See pic - "Iceberg, right ahead!") The 20% tip is automatically added to your bill. Our service was excellent. read more

I waited too long to share this review... One of our couple friends had recently been to A5 and described it as "life-changing". I was like, what? How? Really? So of course we needed to have our life changed as well, so we went. I called and made a reservation and detailed our friends experience while booking the reservation. That set the bar very high and when we arrived later in the week, they had not forgotten our high expectations. We were seating well and promptly ordered some drinks and a couple of starters. The menu had so many chalices and we seemed to have forgotten that we are not endlessly wealthy or that there is only so much one can eat. Of course we had to try the poutine and the namesake steak or our visit would have been wasted. Our server suggested that one A5 shared between us would be sufficient as it's quite rich. Seemed hard to believe for such a small amount of protein but it turned out to be wise advice. Everything we sampled was delicious. Interestingly, we were a good way into the poutine when I realized there was no gravy. When asked, the server was embarrassed and quickly resolved with another dish prepared perfectly. By then we were bordering on being stuffed but they insisted and it was delicious. The A5 was a unique experience all it's own. It was rich and delicious and not something you want too much of but it literally melts in your mouth and offers a unique taste you don't enjoy every day. Everything was cooked to perfection and we had immaculate service. The restaurant was packed but felt cozy not over done. This is one of several unique restaurants owned by this group and a notable Addi to the Denver dining scene. It's also on the high end as we spent close to 3 bills for two for dinner. Many of our friends have subsequently been and had similarly great experiences. I hope you do too! read more

A wonderful premium experience in downtown Denver, A5 is a truly special place. The service is absolutely top notch, with our server going so far as to have the kitchen prepare an item that wasn't even on the menu because my friend was craving a burger. The place is intimate but with a busy downtown vibe that has life to it. The food was amazing, from appetizers to main dishes and even the specialty made hamburger, the food was so delicious we ate until we felt like bursting. If there is a downside to A5 it is that it's expensive, but you won't regret spending up for the quality you get. read more

A near perfect experience at A5 this weekend. It's so beautiful and cozy in there. I love that they kept the dumbwaiter from Wazee Supper Club. Everything we ordered was amazing! My husband and I split the wedge salad, Denver steak (plus the jumbo shrimp), mashed potatoes and heirloom tomatoes and I loved it all. It was also the perfect amount of food for the two of us. My one knock is that they sat the two of us at a 4-top that faced out toward the rest of the dining room. Felt like we were at the head table of a wedding. We had a reservation, so I would expect better seating, but otherwise, it was a lovely night! read more

Walked in without a reservation on a Tuesday night with my 12 year old son and the place was packed. We were greeted quickly by the host and after a short 10 minute wait we got seated (much better than the 25 mins for bar seating they quoted us). The food was incredible! The A5 Wagyu appetizer is worth the steep price tag, Bone-in NY Strip was prepared and seasoned perfectly. Also recommend the Japanese milk rolls and whipped potatoes. Excellent service from our waitress, Nicole, and manager, Mark. Atmosphere is friendly and fun. Will definitely be back! read more
