Nice place, but good food....not so much.
Just went to Elway's this past weekend for a special occasion. We were looking forward to a great meal, considering the prices, but were very disappointed with the food.
Shrimp cocktail - biggest shrimp I've ever seen, but not much flavor
Salmon - overdone
Steak - Here's where the real story begins.... I ordered the large Fillet, expecting a decent tenderloin. I'm a steak lover and have eaten fillets all over the world at some very high end restaurants, so I'm pretty knowledgeable about steaks. When the steak came it was relatively thin and flat and looked like a NY strip. I cut into it and was surprised by the amount of fat and the consistency of the meat....nothing like a tenderloin. I enjoy a good NY Strip, but not when I am paying for a high end fillet. In all my dining years I've only ever sent a steak back once before. When I mentioned that the cut did not seem like a Fillet they were very apologetic and took the steak back without questions. When they brought me another one it was the same thing, thin, fatty and not at all like a good Fillet. So, not sure if they had a new cook on that night who didn't know the difference, or what was going on, but don't go there if you are looking for a good steak!
For what it's worth, the service was very good and the wine list was good, but also on the expensive side.…
It's Not Elway's, but he eats here for free!. First off, I used to patronize this restaurant 2-3 times per week @ $50-$120 a hit for about 1 year. The more I frequented the place the worse and ruder the bar tenders became toward me. Yes, you know the two I'm talking about. I once tipped a waiter in San Francisco $150 for a two hundred dollar meal because the service was so personalized, so I think I know how to tip. But, the more I came in the sicker I got of watching other customers treated better than me, so I quit going there. At first I just started tipping according to service (15%, 10%, 5%, 0%), and then once the bar tenders hated me enough on my low tips I just quit going. Keep up the good business Elways - stay loyal to your staff.…
Elways - won't be back!.
Nice ambiance for dinner but.... hostesses were unfriendly and waitstaff was aloof and condescending. The level of service and quality of food is not comensurate with the high prices.
I ordered a glass of wine, enjoyed it and when finished the waiter asked "Do you wanna another one of these"?
I was taked aback. I ordered the same menu item as the person sitting across from me, who ordered first, and the waiter asked "Do you want it just like him"? Just like him??? Did he mean on a plate? I answered that I would like it "medium" The macaroni was dry,the asparagus plain, and the creamed corn tasted like it just came out of a can. Won't be back as the prices are high and the service not good and the food is mediocre There are much better restaurants in Denver and you don't loose your wallet. It was an unpleasant experience.…
Nasty foood, mixed service, pretty place.
Thank goodness they had biscuits so we could tide ourselves over until we could get home and eat. The "Hollaindaise" wasn't hollondaise it was some disgusting mustard mayo sauce (neither mayo or
mustard are ingredients in Hollaindaise). The onlettes were crusty, dried out and overcooked, even the fruit wasn't ripe. The breakfast potaoes were ok.
The service was mostly ok and the staff was friendly except we never got water refills and most people were done w/ their dessert before we got our icevcream. I regret going and can't get that gross mustard mayo taste out of my mouth.…
Amazing place for lunch. Up until this point, I had only been to Elways on the bar side. This time we had a big table of people for lunch and I was impressed. The food was excellent. The lobster club was just right (although more lobster would have been good - it seemed like it had more bread than necessary) but it was still very tasty. The service was very friendly and accommodating. The dessert Ding Dong is AMAZING. I wish the lunch prices were a bit lower but I do recommend this place for sure.…
