    Service was adequate and slow and the restaurant was not busy when we arrived to explain the pace. They did try to ease the frustration by paying for desserts and a round of drinks but bill for 3 of us was still over $300. It was very loud foir not being packed and restaurant looked disheveled. Food? Where do I start...forgot the ham on the eggs benedict, one of the egg yolks was popped before making it to the plate so there was yolk trail on the plate and no yolk in one of the eggs, duck was extremely dry, potatos were cold and seemed old or refried. Quality for this caliber of restaurant was just not there. I will not recommend this restaurant to anyone and will not return.

    we ordered an artichoke and it was very tough, the caeser salad had too much anchovy and garlic, the salmon was too fishy I couldn't eat it. It was a real disappointment. Cassy was our waitress and she was great and the manager came over and apologized but quite frankly, they should have taken the salad, artichoke and salmon off the bill. It will be a long time before we go back.

    Went out for my birthday, got sat in the bar area. “10 oz” steak was really small. Waiter got half of our order wrong, all of the sides were cold. Very mediocre for a “high end steakhouse” several steakhouses in Denver are better, the bar is set really low

    Good food, but very overpriced.  The steak, short rib, salmon, and sides were all excellent. It’s one of the better steaks in Denver.  However, the prices are unreasonable.

    We hadn’t visited the Elway downtown in a long time. What a fabulous lunch we had and Doug our bartender/server was outstanding.. Elways isn’t cheap, but this was a great meal on all fronts.

    I dining experience was perfect. Rebecca was our server for the evening and she was amazing. The food was also amazing. We ended the meal with the ding dong dessert, as recommended by Rebecca. Everything was great. The only moment that wasn’t planned for was the fire alarm during dessert. I would highly recommend ELWAY’S to friends and family
