ELWAY'S Downtown

When in Denver dinner at Elway’s is a must. The food is exquisite! This time I did make a request that they bring back an awesome chili/stew that disappeared from the menu after covid. I enjoyed a delicious filet and discovered a new wine!

Every. Single. Time. Elway’s. Is. Amazing. First time at the downtown location, celebrating my birthday they knocked itout of the park with the inside of the menu stating “Happy Birthday”. Having that personalization on a menu set off a great first impression. We’ve been to the Vail location and it’s been one of our favorite restaurants. This one also didn’t disappoint. Whether it was the mesmerizingly creamy mashed potatoes, juicy steak filets, or just the simple bread platter every bite was everlasting. I engulfed the asparagus to have no leftovers of that side dish while my wife saved the majority of her Mac & cheese for tomorrow. We then decided on the chocolate chip cookies for dessert. They added an extra cookie and waived the dessert as it was my birthday. A phenomenal touch. The customer service from our waitress, Rebecca was phenomenal. She made everything happen and constantly checked in with us! Great service! Also shoutout to the man who always filled up our water. He was on it and made sure my wife and I never had an empty glass. There’s a reason after we left that my wife said, “For my birthday, I want Elway’s.” There’s simply nothing better. Elway’s, whether it’s the Vail or Downtown location, you’ll be seeing us again!

A bit disappointed. After eating at all the national steak restaurants we decided to try the local option. First the good: the ribeye was very good. It had a nice char with good beefy flavor. Clearly a prime cut with nice rendered fat. Medium is pretty red here, which was great for me, a bit to rear for my wife. The service was a bit out of sorts. We had multiple servers, but they covered it. A nice loaf of crunchy sourdough bread was very good. The wedge salad was over dressed. The flavor was good and I suggest ordering dressing on the side. The real downfall was the crab cake. It was more like crab flavored paste patty. It was all blended with no visible crab. Certainly not even close to the quality expected. Resist the temptation to order. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff is very nice. For the price, I expect much more.

We had such a wonderful dining experience here at Elway's. The waiter was so polite and attentive, always making sure we were taken care of. The wine was excellent and the bottle presented and poured with etiquette. The service and atmosphere here could not be any nicer. The holiday theme in the Ritz-Carlton lobby added a very nice ambiance to the restaurant. Everyone was very happy with the appetizers, the sides, and the steaks.
