Highest Quality Cuts of Steak. This is a local fixture for a good reason - the steaks are of the highest quality. This is an old-school, dinosaur of a steakhouse - bearnaise sauce, dark wood paneling, and high prices. I have enjoyed eating here. I also purchased steaks here to cook at home for a big celebration - in Colorado we really should serve the best, and the Summit came across. In a word - Reliable.

Offensively overpriced. We purchased 2 groupon discounts for this restaurant and were excited to visit. Both visits were more than disappointing, we found ourselves a bit miffed. First off, we purchased $40 worth of dining for half price. We drank water and ordered VERY modestly and still went well over the first voucher because of the high prices (just two people). To make things worse, the food was average at best.

We changed our approach on visit two, forget how much more we spend, get what we really want. We did that (still water though) and spent more than double the voucher. As was before, the food was not very good. It would be one thing to spend hard earned money on sub-par food but to sell it at fine dining pricing is outrageous. I think the raving reviews are for a day long gone. I say that not just due to the age of other reviews but because the establishment looks a bit past it's prime. Each time we came for dinner they asked if we had a reservation; in neither case was there but a person or two in the whole place. I think the following they once knew is gone and it's just us idiots. I seriously cannot think of a reason or circumstance where you should give ts place a try, coupon or not.

Wonderful Staff, Delicious Food!. This place is fabulous! The steak is just as good as you would expect, if not better! The service we had was impeccable, very friendly. Our drinks were always refilled, dinner brought in a timely manner. We will definitely be back!

Will never go back. We had bought a gift certificate thinking the place looked good on its website. Once there, we were sadly dissapointed. The steaks were overpriced ($38-45), which doesn't even include a salad or side! The steak was fair at it best. The wait staff were unfriendly. Terrible! If you want to spend this kind of money on a steak go to The Chop House, Sullivan's, The Keg, or any of the other dozen or so steak houses downtown and you will not be dissapointed! I wouldn't go back unless I had a rich grandmother in town who wanted to fit in with the over 70 crowd at this place.

The Summit. $8.75 for a scotch on the rocks (not premium), and a half drink at that. Both Rodney's and Elway's charge $7-$8 for the same drink but its a full drink and the crowd is better.
