                                                          This was our first time at this location. Typically we eat at the one in Vail or at the Cherry Creek location that closed. Our experience was very disappointing. I felt like we were eating at a low end hotel, no name restaurant. The service was slow, my steak was warm, not hot and the melted blue cheese reminded me of the blue cheese you’d get on your steak at a cheap bar. I’m not a fan of Texas Roadhouse but compared to our experience today, Texas Roadhouse would have been a better value and steak. We went to STK for Thanksgiving, we should have went back tonight. I expected more and will not go back to this location.

                                                          Restaurant was very cold - not sure why they didn’t address during renovation earlier this year. Avoid the au gratin potatoes- dry & no flavor. Mac n cheese was bland. Overcooked my steak, then served a cold steak as replacement. Server was great but kitchen negatively impacted our experience.

                                                          Food service and accommodations were awesome. Drinks were a little inconsistent with taste but other than that, it was great.

                                                          A decade ago, this was one if the best steakhouses in Denver — known for superior steaks, perfectly cooked. Sadly Elway’s is not what it used to be. It has become overpriced in comparison to the competition — and much to our surprise, the steaks were not evenly cooked and/or overcooked. Sides were mediocre. Wine by the glass was okay but again overpriced. Service was spotty. Nice guy and attentive, but he forgot or confused multiple elements of what we ordered (which was not complicated). He “comped” a few drinks as compensation but one would expect better service at a restaurant charging these prices. Ambiance feels like a hotel restaurant with TVs. Go somewhere else unless you hear Elway has imposed a shake up. If not, this restaurant is heading to pricey mediocrity quickly….
