Great experience! The slow cooked pork belly was the best I have ever had. Juicy steaks! I love you can customize with a wide variety of different sauces. Plus you can add bone marrow. Our server, Colleen, was knowledgeable and attentive. Overall, wonderful night.

Went in for happy hour and got a burger, fries and salad. All were excellent. My only complaint was the booth I was at was in front of the bar and I had to listen to employees conversations that overshadowed. Pretty good burger for the price point in a fun location.

Didn’t order steak at this steakhouse, but man all the food we ordered was good. The crab and lobster salad was absolutely mind blowing, I wish I had ordered 3 of these. Seriously, it’s a absolute must! The hamachi is a good selection if you like sushi, if not you could pass on it. The bacon kimchi fried rice was very good and the Korean lettuce wraps were delicious. The kennebec fries were crispy. The A5 hot chicken was tender and moist and I loved the flavor. Great place to try for a downtown dinner.

A5 Steakhouse – A Meal to Remember for a Lifetime When my brother—a serious foodie—brought me to A5 Steakhouse for my bachelor party, I knew we were in for something special. But I wasn’t prepared for just how special. This wasn’t just a meal; it was an experience, a masterclass in flavor, technique, and hospitality. I’ll be talking about this night for the next 50 years, and I’m not exaggerating. From the moment we stepped inside, the atmosphere set the stage. A5 is sleek, modern, and buzzing with energy, yet it carries an inviting warmth that makes you want to settle in and savor every second. The service? Spot-on—attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to guide us through an unforgettable meal. Now, let’s talk about the food. Every single bite was divine. We started with their signature milk bread rolls, golden brown with a glossy, buttery sheen, practically melting in your mouth. Then came the bone marrow, rich and indulgent, topped with caramelized onions that added just the right balance of sweetness and depth. If you’re wondering whether to add this to your order—don’t wait and don’t you dare hesitate. It’s an absolute must. And then there was the steak. Perfectly cooked, beautifully charred, and impossibly tender, this was the kind of steak that resets your expectations for what steak should be. The accompaniments weren’t just afterthoughts—they were just as meticulously crafted. Roasted garlic, charred onions, and fresh greens added contrast, while the flavors of every dish played off each other in the best way possible. We also dove into crispy golden croquettes sitting in a rich, velvety red sauce that had just the right touch of acidity to balance the decadence. Every dish felt intentional, every detail was dialed in. Yes, A5 is expensive—but it’s so worth it. This isn’t just another fancy dinner; it’s a meal that etches itself into your memory, a dining experience that will always leave you wanting more. Some meals come and go. This one stays with you. If you’re considering coming here for a special occasion (or, honestly, just to treat yourself), don’t second-guess it. This is the place.

Visited here as two couples, as part of our new resolve to tour the top restaurants in Denver. And, yes, I can see why A5 was on the list. FOOD - Everything I tasted was top-shelf good. We had an amazing Japanese curry poutine (!) as a starter (the other three also had Oysters Rockefeller; not my bag, but they all made yummy noises). We eschewed the sides and salads (though there were numerous things there that looked good) to go straight through to steak. We shared a massive Porterhouse steak between the four of us -- priced as such, but everyone had their fill. The meat was cooked just as we ordered (medium rare). The sauces and special bone marrow/alliums accompaniment all added to the meaty bliss. We skipped desserts (a fairly scant menu) in favor of some good coffee. DRINK - A wide array of elegant cocktails were on the drink menu. We tried four separate ones, and each was very, very good. The wine list was long enough to feel luxurious, short enough to not feel overwhelmed. Prices were high, but the cab we got went very nicely with the steak. SERVICE - We had a very helpful and friendly waiter. The only negative I could say here is that service got slower as the restaurant filled up; the interval between entree being finished and dessert menus being presented and coffees ordered and coffees delivered was ever-increasing to the point of being mildly annoying. A 20% service charge is included in the meal price; further tipping for exceptional service is accepted, but not expected. AMBIANCE - Seating was comfortable. Places were well lit (esp. with the little lamps on each table). The place was a bit busier, and with tighter (though not cramped) seating, that I would expect for the food and service delivered (and the prices paid). The noise level got substantial enough to cover the background music, but never to the point we could not hear each other. All told, it's not a place I would necessarily bring someone for a romantic dinner for two. VALUE - So this place charges top dollar. The four of us, with cocktails and wine, plus service charge, dropped about $700, and could easily have dropped more if we'd done salad, sides, dessert, more wine, more cocktails. So ... not a place I would casually go. I could see coming for a very special occasion, though, because net-net I think we got our money's worth.

Wow. It takes a lot to blow my mind when it comes to food these days, but A5 Steakhouse delivered an experience that was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was perfect—modern yet cozy, with just the right amount of buzz to make it feel special. I was nervous about choosing a steakhouse for my buddy’s bachelor party. You know how it goes—everyone’s a critic when it comes to steak. But A5 nailed it on every level, and I couldn’t have been happier with the decision. Let’s talk food. My steak was incredible—perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and tender as can be. And get this—I didn’t even order one of the most expensive cuts! The sides were absurdly good—those mashed potatoes? Unreal. I’d honestly come back just for them. And the desserts? They weren’t just an afterthought—they were phenomenal, the perfect way to cap off an unforgettable meal. I’m not a wine person at all, but our server picked out a bottle that turned into multiple bottles. And then there’s the cocktail I ordered, the Mexican Cousin. Let me tell you—it was brilliant. Creative, balanced, and packed with flavor, it might just be one of the best cocktails I’ve had in a long time. The service was flawless too. Our server handled the energy of a bachelor party like a pro—attentive, friendly, and patient without ever feeling overbearing. They made us feel like VIPs the entire night. When a place not only meets expectations but exceeds them for a high-stakes celebration, it’s worth shouting about. If you’re looking for a steakhouse in Denver that’s going to impress everyone in your group, pick A5. I can’t wait to come back.

My husband and I had the best experience here for a date night! Ash was our server and if you do anything from this review REQUEST HER. She went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and made amazing recommendations Everything we had as amazing! The scallop ceviche is something I will dream about until my next visit. The Japanese milk rolls are beyond delicious. And the steak brought tears to my eyes!
Ronnie Bernard
A5 did not disappoint! The service was outstanding, our server was very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was well worth it. On a Sunday night the food came out hot and on time. The steaks were the correct temperature and delicious. I definitely recommend A5 steakhouse
