A5 Steakhouse

Our flight landed earlier than expected, so naturally, we were craving a steakhouse instead of just any random spot that happened to be open late lol. We called ahead to make sure a 10:30 PM walk-in would be okay, and the host eagerly invited us to come by! Miraculously, we found street parking right in front of the restaurant when we arrived. Inside, there were still a few tables finishing up their meals, but we were the last ones to be seated. Our waitress was super friendly, walking us through all the specials, but we decided to go with a fan favorite from the reviews: Mac and cheese croquettes for the appetizer. I'm not sure if it was the hunger talking, but we devoured them in minutes. Fried to golden perfection, but the real star was the pepper jam. It was tangy with just a hint of spice, and it paired perfectly with the cheesy croquettes.For our mains, we ordered the Colorado rack of lamb with bacon and kimchi fried rice. Now, cheese in fried rice isn't something I would expect, and definitely not cotija, but I'm officially a fan. Green onions, cotija cheese, bacon- SMACKED. This classic Asian dish with a twist paired well with the lamb, especially since the lamb was also Asian-inspired, glazed with tamarind chutney and served with saag curry.Overall, it was an amazing experience!

I recommend A5 to everyone!First the service was 10/10! Especially Javier, Mark, and Joe. These guys should set the standards for the industry. Thanks for all of the wonderful recommendations and going above and beyond for us. We ate several dishes of delicious food in this beautiful restaurant. Memories were created that will last a lifetime time, we can't wait to go back! Again, thanks to the whole team at A5!

A5 is a great steak restaurant in the downtown/Union Station area. Expensive but worth it. Chilled oysters came with, I think, shaved horseradish, mignonette, cocktail sauce, and a lemon with netting. East and West coast were available; and only $2.50 each during happy hour (normally $4-5 depending on quantity). Small issue: there were some broken shell fragments in the oysters. They need to be a bit more careful when shucking. Bavette steak: cooked to the right temp, juicy, and tender. Good sear and charring. Good cut of meat, no gristle. They charge a 20% service fee instead of a tip. It's not hidden because it's mentioned on their website and on their paper menu. They make it clear that they don't expect anything on top of that. They said that the 20% is split between front of house and kitchen, and that any additional tip is given to the front of house.

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 chilisSteak 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.

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.

Seriously why did it take me so long to try this place? Amazing thru and thru zero complaints! From the welcoming warmth of the host-Javi you are a gem! To the server and the quality of food all amazing! Thank you Mark for making us feel special and thank you to our server who was on it! Not a dirty dish in site when the next entree came out, the check-ins were consistent but not enough to make you feel rushed. The place is worth every penny! Thank you for a wonderful night -we will be back!

Great dinner, portion sizes + price are definitely reasonable for the quality of food. Beef tartar sando was so unique, hamachi crudo fresh. Definitely get a mini espresso martini!

I didn't know what to think of this place when we got there - the menu is like an Asian Steakhouse - but I was really impressed. We tried several different things - the hamachi appetizer, the Korean steak wrap, salad, bacon fried rice, bavette steak (with the best chimichurri I've ever had), French fries and scallops. Everything had good flavor and was unique - not something you will find everywhere. They have a solid cocktail and wine list as well. Our server regularly checked in on us and was incredibly nice and the ambiance is pretty casual and not a stuffy steakhouse. I would definitely go back as there are still a lot of items I want to try on the menu!

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.

We were looking for a steakhouse with a unique menu and a good vibe. We found it at A5!! The Denver wagyu steak was tender and wonderfully seasoned and the Japanese buttermilk rolls were buttery with a hint of salt. Joseph our server was exceptional and we enjoyed working through the menu options to make the right decision for ordering. Ah and the chocolate mousse dessert was definitely worth the calories!! A great find and we will return!!
