    The first thing you notice in a restaurant is ambience. This location definitely needs a facelift because it just kind of feels like a used to be popular steakhouse from the 90s. Online it says $$$$, so I expected a lot better atmosphere. Even the shape of the bar, table cloths that don’t touch the ground, rainbow mood lighting (?), clunky bar stools, upholstered booths look like they had a fabric pattern that should be on the carpet at a movie theater. Moving onto food, we weren’t terribly hungry so we each got a salad. Good. The tomato and burrata salad was great! I love a good wedge and this had a healthy amount of bleu cheese crumbles and bacon. Dessert was a different story. I was really excited about the Keylime pie and our bartender, server convinced us that it wasn’t good, as well as the mousse cake was not good and probably the best thing was Basque cheesecake. Threw me off for someone to convince me not to get something I came for but we decided to go with the mousse cake. The way he had described it was beautiful, unfortunately they have changed the recipe over the years, and didn’t execute it very well. The mousse was granulated and overly sweet. The middle layer was supposed to have a crunch to it, it did not. And the base layer was almost like a tres leches soaked cake. Neither of us wanted it, which is unfortunate because the description made it sound amazing. Second attempt was a Basque cheesecake. The highlight of a Basque cheesecake is the burnt part, (which is intentional) And though the burn should be a beautiful dark brown color, it was masked with whipped cream. When something is masked, it’s typically because there’s a mistake, in my opinion. There was barely a burn to it, it actually came out quite light in color and it honestly looked like somebody had plopped it on the plate. Disappointing presentation. The flavor was fine, but the cheesecake probably had too many eggs in it or was over mixed, so the eggs scrambled. It fell apart, not in a good way. The homemade whip cream and vanilla on glaze were very tasty, but the accompanyment shouldn’t be the favorite part. I was grateful that our bartender/server made it right with the dessert. But I don’t think I could go back to the steakhouse based off of the ambience, and poor quality desserts. I appreciated the bartender/servers honesty, but this restaurant fell short of expectations for an Elways steakhouse, especially attached to a Ritz Carlton.

    Solid food, wish it had some more flavor though. Steak and dessert was the best part. Great service but everything else was pretty average. I’m kind of disappointed.

    I hate to say it but I'm honestly disappointed on this restaurant experience. The chicken sandwich was so tiny and way overpriced and the stake was not worth the price at all, you can get something similar at road house for a quarter of the price. The drinks were also wast over priced - the mimosa was almost $20. The asparagus was very bland and flavorless. The only good thing was the salad. They don't give any bread with your meal. Definitely won't be back.

    Service was very nice. The Iceberg Salad was good. The jalapeño bread was delicious. The lemon cocktail was neat since the citrus juice turned it purple. The grilled artichokes were disappointing though. It was tiny, overcooked, and very oily. I’ve eaten here several times but this was the first one off the mark.

    The food was amazing and so was the atmosphere!!! But most of all our waitress Tess, was the BEST!!!! She really took great care of us and when we let her know that we were visiting from NJ, she gave us a small box of Elway’s spices to take home with us!!!! We will DEFINITELY be back when we are in Denver again and we hope Tess will be there too cause she was amazing!!!!

    Oh my goodness what a steak! Plus got the lamb chop fondue and that was fantastic. Great service with a smile. Went for my birthday and they made it a great night. Plus got a free birthday key lime pie!

    Wonderful meal where drinks are well made, steaks are seasoned correctly and served at the right temperature, and service is amongst the best in class. You get what you pay for, however, and it's easy to spend a pretty penny on an excellent meal here.

    What can I say? Everything was AWESOME!!From the first step in it was very welcoming. Staff greeted with professionalism and attentiveness. Food was OH SO YUMMY! Ribeye melts in your mouth. The best I've ever had!! You're treated as family and never neglected. Our waitress, Leslie, was 5 stars 🤩! I'm very happy with my dinner experience at Elway's. Highly recommend!!! I will warn some, it is pricey. But for me it was very much worth it 🤗

    This place sure knows how to treat people right! I went for my 30th birthday with my family and we came in early at 2. We had a reservation for 5 but ended up coming 3 hours early and they were happy to accommodate us with no issues from us ordering off of the dinner menu, though this was an exception and is not normal in the slightest. Everything we ate was delicious, the highlights were the Lobster Mac & Cheese along with any steak on the menu. The mashed potatoes were also very good but I'd recommend the Mac & Cheese first. If you go here you'll have a great time for sure!

    What a fantastic experience! Took two friends there for their birthdays. We were totally spoiled. Tessa and Cale did an exceptional job serving us. The food was outstanding. My 10 Oz. filet was perfectly cooked and oh so tender. The 2 salmon entres came out perfectly cooked and as flavorful as could be. It was a gastronomic delight from appetizers clear through dessert. Thanks Elway's and staff for providing a night that we won't soon forget!

    Daniel!!!! Thank you so much for your excellent service and with such a great smile! Dinner was delicious.... we had the Sea Bass, Bison Ryb-eye, and a chicken Cesar salad. The app was a crabcake that had the most scrumptious sauce under it...great for bread dipping. Our sides were broccoli with a cheese sauce and lobster Mac and cheese! Yes please and thank you! Every bite was yummy! Also, Daniel stopped back by with some Elway's seasoning to take home! So sweet. Worth it!

    Simply fantastic. We came for our anniversary and were thrilled with the experience. Great menu options, sommelier came to our table to help with our wine selection. Steak and fish were cooked to perfection. What you order is what you get so be sure to add sides. We wore dressy business casual and fit right in. Cannot overexpress how great dinner was. Our next stay in Denver will be at the ritz-carlton thanks to this restaurant.

    The best service from a bartender! Completely excellent. We went to the bar to wait for our table and chose to stay and eat there instead of going to our table. Everything, except the mashed potatoes, was absolutely delicious. The best crust ever on the steaks. Thanks to the bartender in recommending that great bourbon drink. We easily spent 2 and 1/2 hours there enjoying the food and service.

    My co-workers and I came to celebrate our yearly success and wrap up 2022 with a good dinner. Our server was very attentive and able to keep up with our table of 8. I specifically have a nut allergy and she was great at ensuring it was notated for the kitchen. I had a petite sirloin cooked perfectly to a medium temp, just the right about of pink. I accompanied it with a creamy aioli horseradish and cremini mushrooms. For appetizers we did the tuna tartar and shrimp cocktail to share, alongside a beet salad with a zesty vinaigrette drizzle. We all ordered a variety of their signature cocktails and a request for a blood and sand was spot on.

    We ate here a few times during our stay at the Ritz-Carlton. Josh at the bar was fantastic! He recommended the lamb fondue, the salmon, dessert, and various wines. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, service, and dining experience.

    Great Bar Staff! I enjoyed a Blue Cheese Chicken Cobb Salad perfectly paired with Super Power IPA. Amazing. Thx John! 😁

  • 5/5 Andrea Lucio V. 1 year ago on Google
    Good Service. Food was fantastic! We start with the lamb chops fondue (forgot to take a pic)

  • 5/5 Marina S. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic dining experience. I had the filet cooked medium. It was perfect. It had this amazing crust on the outside. My husband hardly spoke a word other than groans of yumminess as he put away his medium cooked 16 oz bone out rib eye. My husband and I shared sides of au gratin potatoes and Thai Brussel sprouts which complimented our steaks deliciously. The service was outstanding as well. Our server, Jeremy, did not steer us wrong at any point. He was charming, attentive and personable. The entire wait staff was great. We will be back.

    Inside Ritz Carlton, Elway’s does a great job in making high end food. The filet steak is so juicy and tender. The salmon is literally the best salmon I have had for a long time.

    This is one where I wish there were half-star ratings. The food tonight was decent. The steak was competently prepared although maybe more medium than medium rare, but you know what? it was absolutely delicious, so no issues there. Could be my eyes. I'm getting older and the lighting matched the mood. I also got the Brussels Sprouts. You guys, those were really good. My big issue here was service and price. I don't mind paying for a meal, and do enjoy fine dining. I sat at the bar (single rider, didn't want to take up a table) and the staff was extremely pleasant, but not attentive. The food took quite a bit of time to arrive, but again it was well prepared. The larger issue was price. For what I paid, I would have expected better and faster service. I'm not sure if it's because the location is in the Ritz, but there are some absolutely incredible eateries both east and west of this place that blow their food offerings out of the park while offering a much more reasonable price. I am glad I went, but I do not intend to return.

    Our waiter Tommy made our night unforgettable. He welcomed us from the start and made sure we were taken care of. It was the night of our engagement and all of my expectations were exceeded, especially the service. The Lamb Fondue is nuts - highly recommend this app. The char on the ribeye was memorable and was cooked perfectly medium rare. Get the Brussel Sprouts as well. New item and amazing. @Tommy - I think we left before the dessert came. We completely forgot about it, but it was no knock to how you treated us as guests. Thanks for making this a remarkable engagement night for us. We truly appreciate all the gestures throughout the night!

    It’s located in the Ritz Carlton. The food was yummy. My only hiccup for this visit steak dinners were available. Lunch or brunch are available before 5pm. We were able to maneuver a steak and fries. It was so delicious.
