   It was really good. The lamb chop fondue is amazing and I highly recommend them. I had the filet and lobster tail it was awesome. The only issue was the fondue was weird, flavor wasn’t bad but the texture was off. I had the Mac and cheese and they don’t do a lobster Mac but I asked for it and they made it. So I appreciated that. I have been here many times and I will continue to return.

   Went there specifically for the bison ribeye and was sorely disappointed to find out it was taken off the menu. Had the regular ribeye instead and it was not worth the $ spent. Could’ve gotten the same thing at any steakhouse in the country. We will not be back.

   Very average steakhouse. Below average service, good steak, average sides. Nothing wow.

   My family has been celebrating birthdays for years at John Elway's Cherry Creek location with exceptional results for food quality and service. Our last visit to the Cherry Creek location was August 2024 prior to their closing at the end of August. I made a reservation at Elway's downtown location to celebrate my birthday in November since the Cherry Creek location had closed. Sadly our experience did not live up to our expectations. We were seated early for our 6:15 reservation and the greeting staff were friendly and professional, but it went downhill after that. Drinks were served promptly, but the waiter had to be reminded about the request for more sweetener. Service was far slower than any we ever experienced at Elway's at Cherry Creek. All 4 members of the party ordered steaks, 3 members ordered baked potatoes. One member of my party inquired if there was a problem why the food was taking so long. The waiter's reply was not pleasant. When the food finally arrived all steaks were under cooked, mine severely and 2 were greatly over charred on the outside. All steaks were only warm not hot as we had experienced at Elway's in Cherry Creek. All baked potatoes were only slightly warm not hot although they were tasty. I would classify the steaks as really good, but not up to Elway's standards and our expectations. With our experience with Elway's over the years we certainly plan to continue dining there. I certainly do hope the Cherry Creek location reopens in the future. That location certainly is much more convenient for us especially considering my age of 81 and curtailed driving and that both myself and my wife are handicapped. Fortunately for us one of my sons was able to drive for us to the downtown location. None of my party had a dessert. I do appreciate the birthday card that was signed by all the staff.

   40 minutes after reservation to get food. Made us late for the Symphony. Charged full price for a stake I could not entirely eat, because it was GROSSLY under-cooked. Tried to make it up with a crappy desert. Where TF are your table cloths? who the hell is running this diner now? I've been a long time patron, and I will never return to a stake house that does not have table cloths. Seem like they had more then a remodel, and they couldn't cook a leather shoe. I really couldn't have been more disappointed in a has-been washed-up shell of what Elway's was only a few month ago.

    It was our first time going to Elway’s. The valet staff at the Ritz Carlton were very accommodating and helpful. We had wonderful service at the restaurant and our food was delicious. The lamb fondue was delectable and the desserts were devine. We went for our anniversary and they gave us a card, a free dessert, and a small container of steak seasoning.
