Good meat, cooked to perfection. Excellent potatoes, perfect cake. Wine served was not so good but well compensated by the local beer. Slow service.

Dry, over cooked steak. NO WAY it was a filet. All our steaks looked the same and the waiter never came back to check on our meal. Our worst meal in Vail ever!!

Not my kind of crowd. I love the food and always have a good time here despite the Cherry Creekers. A little too proud.

I expected an astronomical price given the location in the Ritz Carlton and as the premier steak place in Denver. Ambiance was fantastic, service impeccable, and the food extremely good. Very reasonably priced. I could have easily spent more, but I had a great steak dinner including dessert for less than $50.

I was in Denver at a meeting at the Ritz and was looking forward to dinner at Elway's. I was brought a Buffalo ribeye instead of a ribeye, which I really did not like. It was over cooked and just was not my thing. I was with clients, so it was totally uncomfortable for me to make a fuss or... More

Ate here last year while in Denver on business. Started our meal with an order of the lamb chops, which were to die for. Cooked perfectly and spiced nicely, I could easily have made a meal of them. Also ate a rib eye steak which was also quite good. It was tender, nicely marbled steak with a tasty spice rub.... More

Hang onto your wallet; this place is very very expensive but the food is top-notch. I had a 10 oz steak it was wonderful. But I was glad my company was paying for it. All I had was the steak (it does not come with anything else, no salad, no potato, no veggies, you pay extra for that but the... More

This is a place we always go to during Denver Restaurant Week to get an incredible deal on dependably delicious steaks and sides. We've also gone there for special occasions. I haven't been to the bar that adjoins the restaurant, but it seems to be busy all of the time with a slightly older crowd (i.e. not the 20-something club-going... More

Good quality meats, they also had an assortment of other dishes which looked pretty good. It's a nice relaxed ambiance, good for business or pleasure. Nice bar area too

Bone-in Ribeye and Filet to die for as well as King Crab! Service is always excellent! We have had a lot of steaks in a lot of different states and a few countries, and Elways still wins out!
