   Steaks were exceptional. Beautiful dining room, but loud and noisy. Felt like service waiters were almost running by my table, making the ambiance unsettling. T-shirts, cut-off jeans, and baseball caps just seem inappropriate for a fine dining restaurant.

   Overall, the experience was fine, but expensive for what it is. A notch below for quality versus some well-known national chains with local outposts. We wanted to try a local place. Steaks were good and well prepared. Apps and sides were average to below (lobster Mac). Excellent wine list though 3x retail. Service was good, particularly the sommelier.

   Not all what was expected of a higher class restaurant. Food was good, but by no means outstanding as one would expect. I didn't choose Elway's to celebrate a birthday for a "good" steak. Service was almost non-existent. There was no mention of there being a birthday at the table although it was noted on the reservation. We were seated and greeted, orders taken, and were scarcely acknowledged thereafter. Breadbasket and drinks weren't refilled, no one asked if I wanted another cocktail. Basically it was: appetizer ordered and delivered, entrees ordered and delivered, and here's your check. Additionally, a busser stopped at our table twice and tried to remove my wife's plate as she was still eating, going so far as to actually grab the plate on the second occasion. While the décor and lighting are nice, the restaurant was completely too loud. Our dinner conversation consisted of talking loudly just to be heard across the table. Think of Union Station at 5:00 PM. There was no value whatsoever in this meal. The service, food, and ambiance, or lack thereof, made it an utterly disappointing night.

   Our waiter barely talked to us. We had to ask him to order, ask Him for dessert menus, and ask for the check. The calamari was flavored well, but the steaks were underwhelming when considering the price and other comparable restaurants. The mashed potatoes were pretty plain and needed seasoning and the broccoli with cheese sauce had the taste and texture of a frozen bag of broccoli with cheese sauce that you buy in the frozen section of a grocery store. Overall, very underwhelming and I wouldn’t return. Was disappointed.

    We spoke with person at host desk earlier in the day and picked a special table. We arrived 10 minutes early for our reservation and they were seating another couple at the table we had picked earlier. My husband ordered soup and waiter came back and said they were out. So my husband reselected but never received.

    Friendly, helpful personnel & relaxing atmosphere experienced during our stay. Stopped at the bar before check in and perused the dinner menu for our pre-booked dinner that evening. We were able to choose our dinner table location in advance setting the tone for our wonderful dinner experience.

    Service was very slow. At least 20 minutes before anyone took our order. Food took much longer than usual. When food arrived my husbands sandwich was burnt and meat chewy. My salad was great but they forgot the chicken. Waited 20 minutes for chicken and by that time I had to ask for a box to go. Elway's Downtown Denver has lost it's luster and reputation of a high end restaurant. Plus side, we were comp our meals except for the sodas.

    It was just okay. The hotel bellman started yelling at our Uber driver as soon as we got out of the car and that was extremely uncomfortable. Then the hostess took a call while checking is in and then was frustrated with the called. Waiter was very friendly but the order did not arrive correct and the steak was burnt and overall not good. Mac and cheese was very dry. Fries were the best thing.

    For the price, I wasn’t impressed. Food wasn’t bad but it wasn’t fantastic. Cuts of steak could have been better. Sides were ok. Atmosphere was fancy but not memorable. I get there’s a staffing shortage but they seat every table on top of each other despite being only at a third of capacity. Highlight was the service. Our waiter, Scott, was great.

    The rib eye was quite good—even if it came out a bit undercooked. The salmon was outstanding. I decreased the rating because the calamari was very greasy as were the Brussel sprouts.

    We had the crab cake for the appetizer which was OK. It wasn’t of the lump crab cake style which I would have expected at a restaurant like this. We both had steak which again was OK but not up to the standards I would have expected. Maybe it was that my expectations were at a higher level. But we could have gotten similar quality at most other steak restaurants. And at these prices, we expected better.

    We were very disappointed in the quality of the food. The descriptions didn't match with what we were served. The wedge salad listed blue cheese on the menu and was served with cheddar cheese swimming in ranch dressing. The Oscar had more chunks of raw onion than crab and the creamed spinach had a vinegar-based sauce - no cream. Our steaks - we all ordered the same 16 oz. ribeye - were significantly different sizes on the plate. This was an exceptionally poor value for the money.

    Louis and Scott were an incredible duo, creating an unforgettable experience. From start to finish it was an extremely fun and delicious dinner. Scott's knowledge of the menu items paired with Louis's background as a Sommelier, pairs for an epic experience. Thank you so much to both of you guys!
