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.

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….

Overpriced and very noisy. One of us returned the salad because chicken on salad was dry, cold, and hard. Manager replaced it with another and comped it, which was good. Server refilled three water glasses but not the fourth (mine). Later, busboy refilled three glasses but not mine. Who trains these people?
