    The fish sandwich was amazing. It was also a real value considering restaurant prices these days. Of course, we had to order the truffle fries - the best ever. I also have to note the incredibly kind and profressional staff. We are planning to go back very soon.

    During our visit, we waited almost 15 minutes before we even got water, and a total of 45 minutes before our drinks came. Our dinner experience took over 2 hours, and not because we were texting to take our time.

    Steaks are way over-priced, and weren't cooked properly, pretty flavorless, gristle and bone shards, so not well trimmed. Drinks were overpriced, and we were never offered a dessert menu, just given our check. Kind of a bummer, won't go again.

    We chose a specific experience - Mimosas & Memories with mom and they gave me a 145 reservation just to have everything closed by 2:00. No flowers, hats, DJ or permanent jewelry. I feel scammed as I would 100% have brought my mother to somewhere nicer and more specific to Mother’s Day had I known this would be my experience.

    Mother's Day Brunch - The savory selection was just a bit limited for the price, but the food quality was great. Everything we sampled was fresh and delicious. The desert selection and quality was out of this world! The pastry chef's creations were original, creative, and just the best we've had since traveling in Europe. Scott, our server was also just fantastic! It was also nice to see management checking up on things at the buffet and with diners. The only downside for us was the DJ's choice of music, but that's just a difference in taste, nothing that Elway's can do about that. And to be honest, we liked the decor before the renovation a bit better, but again, that's just a different in taste. We are looking forward to dining at Elway's again. A side note - we really miss our lunches at the Cherry Creek location and hope that a new Elway's will be integrated into the revamped Cherry Creek West or nearby.

    I had read some reviews that were negative, but we were staying in the hotel and wanted to stay on property. Our server Michael was awesome, and I felt bad for him… he was trying so hard to make up for the delay in our food being served. We ordered very quickly upon being seated at 5 PM ( we were the only guests in the restaurant)… it took almost 1 hour for our food to arrive . If the food had been good, we wouldn’t have posted this review. The NY strip was overcooked, the side of “roasted cauliflower were floating in about a cup of oil/butter etc. The Potatoes au Gratin were virtually inedible. The potatoes were gray( meaning they had sat around long enough that they oxidized). A glob of cheese on top. Yuck This was a very expensive dinner and for the glass of wine and Michael’s service to be the only good thing was very disappointing. Do better @Elways
