Ordered gluten free pasta but unfortunately had a regular noodle mixed in.

Kendall Spina

Go to spot, delicious food with interesting flavors combinations that have me coming back! Safe for gluten free and took other allergies very seriously!

Lindsay Johnson

Highly recommend this restaurant for a tapas dinner. Everything we tried was delicious and added bonus that it's gluten free.

Perrin Brown

Very attentive staff and a clearly marked menu

Kayla King

Love this place!

Lily Hwang

Fantastic restaurant and one of the best gluten free places I've been to. I have a gluten allergy and there's so much choice on the menu. You can't even tell it's gluten free! I would've taken pictures but I forgot with how good the food was.

William McColm

One of Denver’s finest restaurants & the best sushi! Wonderful service & they easily accommodate my celiac needs.

Kelly Rice

I used to work here and I would not say this is a celiac safe place to eat. That was five years ago and they could have changed their practices since then, but when I worked there they had shared production areas and fryers. They are very allergen friendly, but as a celiac, I wouldn't risk it.

First time coming to ‘El five’, my partner and I were first sat in a very awkward table on the edge of the restaurant- thankfully they were accommodating to moving us out to the patio. We were initially asked if we had any allergies (my partner has a gluten allergy and another allergy as well- any consumption of either causes severe debilitating migraines, blacking out, and loss of appetite for at least a week) we were made aware of which options were gluten free- the server was more than knowledgeable about the ingredients and advised us of the fact that they use the same fryer for both gluten and gluten free options. If you have celiac, I would avoid getting food here. We initially were looking to get the eggplant fries which say they’re “gluten free” but yet are not guaranteed. Our server gave us a recommendation based on allergy preference. When the food came out we weren’t sure what we had ordered since we had to switch our initial pick so we were not dealing with any cross contamination. They ended up bringing out the wrong dish to the wrong table and unfortunately my partner consumed a good majority before we were made aware the mistake happened. If you are gluten free or have any sort of allergy definitely be weary of ordering and double check before consuming. They ended up not charging us for our meals thankfully- unfortunately that doesn’t change the mistake made but the gesture was appreciated. On the bright side, the drinks were good and the people working at there were very nice- just be cautious and ask twice. ** Update- definitely a major concern for anyone with celiac, not worth it for the price or the possibility of being served food containing an allergen without them triple checking that they’re doing everything right. Our bill totaled $160 for two people. The only reason we went here was for the abundance of gluten free menu items advertised, which they clearly cannot truly provide. You would think they could afford to have a separate fryer to actually accommodate the allergies that are LABELED MENU ITEMS LISTED AS GF. I hope someone within management/ownership realizes the detrimental effect that this caused and will make changes to the way they prepare/serve food. I have been to restaurants with no gluten free options that were able to accommodate us no problems and no worries after the fact. Don’t waste your time or money.

The food took a long time to arrive, and when it did, my brisket sammy and tater tots were cold. The gluten free bread here is not that good- it’s dry. The candied pork belly wedge and the hotbox mac and cheese were both very good. The restaurant was really cold, and the music is super loud. While the food was decent, all the other factors make it a 3 star.

Danni Hayes

I ordered one of just about every gluten free appetizer since they have a dedicated fryer. Everything was so delicious and the service was awesome! Also recommend the wedge salad mmmMMmm

Zoë Barlow

Delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant. Our server (Jonny?) was highly attentive and helpful. We ordered the steak, lamb, trout, massive attack salad and sliced plantains. The meats were delicious, the salad was fresh and well dressed, and the plantains were perfectly done (I haven’t had plantains like these since traveling to Costa Rica) They have options for vegetarian, gluten free and accommodated nut allergies easily. We sat at the c kitchen counter and the cleanliness and food safety of the kitchen staff was impeccable. Recommend reservations as it was very busy on a Friday night. I would definitely return.

Ryan Martin

This place is great if you have a dairy allergy as most things are vegan by default. If you have a gluten allergy you have to be careful as they do not have have a dedicated gluten free fryer. The killer for me is that I have issues with gluten dairy and soy. They had very few dishes available that could accommodate my soy allergy. Caprese pizza with cashew ricotta. It was ok. I was devestated I couldn't have the chicken and waffles. Great cocktails.

Josh Eaton

Only go here for dessert and cocktails! This place has the samw quality of food as Applebee's. I ordered the balsamic Ribeye and while the balsamic was a nice touch to the flavor of the steak. The cut amd cook was identical to Applebee's. The mashed potatoes were no better than apples bees. My kids ribs and other kids grilled cheese where like Applebee's quality. I was shocked. Adding balsamic to a steak doesnt justified a $10 price increase over Applebee's. The cocktails were really good and they have a separate gluten free menu which is nice. Gluten free souffle was also delicious. I will be back but only for drinks and dessert.

Carlos Hernandez

Had dinner here not too long ago & made sure that there were items on the menu that were gluten free as my girlfriend has Celiac Disease. When we were sat, my girlfriend asked what items are gluten free (to be 100% safe) and he said "just tell me what you want and I'll see." then she asked if he's our waiter or someone else and he said "we all help each other". Ok. Then the wine list arrives and my gf then had to ask the gal helping us with wine what is gluten friendly on the menu. She was SUPER helpful. Clearly the gal that helped my gf with wine confronted 'our waiter' because for the rest of the night, he was overcompensating and being awkwardly talkative. We just wanted our food at that point. Then on top of all of those awkward interactions with our waiter.... he charged us for an extra bottle of wine we didn't drink. I then had to flag down a member of the staff to initiate a return/bill again while our Uber was out front waiting for this. Spent $500 on dinner which was great BUT the experience with the waiter ruined it. Cherry Creek Grill is the better choice, their staff is ON POINT.

Great spot for happy hour! And lots of options too. If you’re gluten free - ask for their separate gluten free menu (love to see it!) We did the Sunday all day happy hour and were so excited to try a few new things. It’s still pricey but worth it ☺️

Juliet Lalouel

LOVE this place! Excellent food + service, friendly staff, and the owners are wonderful people. I love the atmosphere in this Avanti location, and I can't wait to go back for more. (Also this is a great place if you have a gluten allergy, and they have vegan/vegetarian options!)

Sydney Howley

The food is amazing! The staff is so knowledgeable and so nice. I felt safe eating here as a celiac and enjoyed foods I haven’t had in years!

Philip Duncan

Amazing restaurant. Amazing staff! especially server Tami! My wife and I have become definite regulars. My wife also has Celiac Disease so finding a restaurant that’s gluten free and delicious is very difficult. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Amanda Boyce

Pick up order with 1 small pizza and 1 gluten free pizza. The gluten free pizza crust was delicious, and very crunchy on the outside edges!

Bill U

Best gluten free pizza I've ever had. Gluten free option for Detroit style pizza? Who else does this? Crunchy crust on the bottom, light and airy bread in the middle. . . . . worth a trip . . . . .

Melinda Southerly

The best deviled eggs and chicken sandwich I have ever eaten. Dog friendly patio.

Patricia Valderrama

Gluten free fried chicken that tastes like heaven. Delicious sauces. Pueblo green chile Mac and cheese. Mashed potatoes with super tasty gravy. So yummy 😋

Casey Cromwell

They have a gluten free menu you can request that also indicates options for avoiding soy, corn and coconut and everything is dairy free and plant based. They have gluten free desserts from local gluten free bakeries and are happy to modify dishes as needed for additional allergens. Their cocktails are also AMAZING!

Kimberly Ippolito Leonard

Safe for celiacs! They have separate prep areas for their gluten and GF foods, dedicated pans, and make everything from scratch. They have a shared fryer, but serve corn tortilla chips that are made off site in a GF facility.

Lori Dreiling

Loved the Bison Chili and the Bison burger (my friend had the burger and loved it)! Our server was very attentive and the restaurant had a nice, calm vibe. Our server was so nice and informative when we asked her about gluten free items, since my friend has Celiac. A very accommodating restaurant if you have dietary restrictions.

Linda Hartlaub

Excellent gluten free menu and they provide gf chips! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. If you aren't a fan of pork green chili, substitute the tomatilla sauce on your burrito.

Angela L'Esperance

The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I went two days in a row because it was so good and celiac safe. Everything tasted fresh. Can’t beat fresh squeezed juices for cocktails. We need one in Minneapolis, MN.

Ed Skhisov

Lots of gluten free options. Tasty food.

Meghan O'Leary

Wait staff was friendly, food tasted alright. Menu was clear about dietary restrictions and differentiated between plain gluten free and celiacs (no cross contamination), which was nice. Barbacoa tacos gave me food poisoning.

Kimberly Gaddie

Gluten Free

Rachel Waggoner

This became one of my favorite places when I became Celiac. I’m not sure if the portion sizes have gone down considerably, but I wouldn’t recommmend getting food to go on a specialty occasion such as Mother’s Day, etc. The food is amazing! You can tell it’s made with love, however the portion size I received on Mother’s Day could’ve easily fed my toddler. I think they were super busy just trying to keep up on orders so the food was being portioned out scarcely. For $39 for a gluten free marinara spaghetti I expected a little more; especially in these economically tough times.

Sara Yeagley

Finally got to check this place out after seeing it on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives a few years ago!! Gluten free options were awesome - the bangin’ cauliflower lived up to the hype, and the fried chicken sandwich was great. Cocktails were good - Happy Hour deal was great!

Nicholas Nelson

Excellent good with gluten free menu and very knowledgeable staff

Elizabeth

The food was okay, but about when you expect from here. Consistency in the averageness of it. But they have gluten free menu and even when you add in dairy free and oat free, there’s a couple menu options left so it’s a good spot for a celiac and allergy friendly date. I’m only leaving a review because our server was exceptional. The hostess wrote her name for me - Fion. Very knowledgeable about the GF/DF options, friendly, and fast. Kind but not too chatty, and so quick since we had limited time. She absolutely deserves the shout out. Exceptional.

Jessica Fields

What a fantastic (fintastic?!) spot. Service was splendid, thank you Manda and your trainee! The gluten free menu was plentiful and the food all came out with a little sign to ensure clarity. The quality of the food was superb! We sat on the patio and really enjoyed the experience!

Heidi Cha

Kids dark in there. Our waiter work hard while all the others stand around talking a lot. The food was good had the prime rib dip and the gluten free bun was sooo yummy and best I ever had! Would recommend this place . And the prices were good too.

Velette Britt

All their sandwiches can be made with gluten free buns and grilled chicken.

Rob Wilson

Let me share the good stuff first. The staff is very hard working. The hostess greeted us immediately and was friendly. The food looked good and tasted ok to great. There was a bathroom. We were excited to go bc the one in our area shut down. They have a nice drink selection. The non-alcoholic beverages were great. The service was strong. Now on to the story. We were told the wait would be 10-15 minutes, and we could wait at the bar or upstairs. We sat at the bar, but the overworked bar tender told us we could not for drinks as not everyone was 21. OK. Outside it is. After about 30-40 minute wait our table was ready. Why was there a wait? Well, the hostess was our server and the one cleaning the tables. They were understaffed. No worries, it happens. There was only one bartender, so drinks would be slow. The food would be a bit to get there, which makes sense given staffing. The food looked good. The meatball sub was bland and a little overcooked. Tots were mushy. Neither teenager liked their pizza. The gluten-free pizza looked good and tasted good. However, shortly after, 3 out of 4 were not feeling well. I am not sure if it was the pear cider or the GF pizza, but I had a bad reaction after it. This would be a gluten reaction that is painful and takes a long while to recover. This was around a 2 hour affair, not including wait time. One more thing, just like a lot of places, the prices are much much higher than before. But not abnormal for the area. I really hope the place turns around and everyone has a better food experience than us. I am sorry to leave a poor review. I normally do not leave reviews like this.

Megan Dancer

This place is an anomaly. Amazing vibe, amazing food, great prices, and gluten free options. How there is only one of these is beyond me!

dylan mendes

Good Mexican food. They did good takeout. They did miss one of our things of tortillas. But they were able to do gluten free for one of my friends who is celiac.

Claire Hunter

Perfect experience. Sold out matinee NYE event and Rachel managed to make us feel like we were the only people there. We had our own area to eat, drink, and celebrate my birthday. It's usually tough planning a birthday party on a holiday but Rachel made it the best executed birthday! Food was on point. The gluten free buns with he chicken sandwiches and gf pizza with pepperoni and hot honey were amazing. Separate fryer fries and caprese salad. Drinks were perfect. Sound system was so great. Love that this Denver gem is still great after all these years!

Lo Wood

Such a great spot! Delicious food and great vibes. The only reason for taking a star away is that there aren’t so many gluten free options for brunch but I got chilaquiles without the chorizo and it did not disappoint 🫶 Also wonderful mimosa kits ✨ I would definitely go back

Kendon Gale

Went on a busy Saturday night and they got us in really fast. We got the green salad which was excellent. My wife is gluten free and she ordered the Hawaiian with gluten free crust and it was amazing. The red sauce was super flavorful. I got the jalapeño popper and it was also delicous.

Cheryl Olson

Great options for those with food allergy issues. I ate here on several occasions and the staff excellently made accommodations for my Celiac (gluten and dairy free) needs. 5280 has a dedicated gluten free fryer, which is a game changer for those with Celiac. The french fries are amazing here and I ordered them nearly every time I visited. I called my picky eater friend who was meeting me in Denver and told him I found a place for the both of us, which is difficult to do. I plan to eat at 5280 every time I find myself in Denver.

Lilly W

Love their gluten friendly pizza, super light and fluffy which is rare for gf. The Brooklyn bridge is my favorite. It’s my go to pizza place whenever I’m in town.

Austin Martin

The burgers where fire ate there 3 days in a row had a gluten-free burger and didn't get sick all 3 times! The bun kinda falls apart but really good anyway. Fries were okay. Super nice and friendly

E Bram

Hapa Sushi accommodated our large group with large amounts of sushi and fun! I did find a stink bug crawling across the table this time but I thankfully was able to forget about it and enjoy all the gluten free food options!!!!
