Belize was our server on christmas night. She was very attentive, even though it was a very busy night she still made time for small talk and served us with a smile on her face. The atmosphere was so lively that night, music was playing in the background, gladly not christmas music, but let's be real Christmas music has been playing all month long so it was nice to have a "break" for one night. To start my date and I shared a lobster bisque soup and beef carpaccio. The soup was a perfect way to start. There was chunks of lobster in the soup which was definitely a nice little surprise. The beef carpaccio - sliced prime tenderloin, capers, arugula, shaved parmigiano reggiano & lemon aioli was honestly one of the best starters I didn't know I needed. When I tell you that the prime tenderloin was sliced so thin, so thin that it practically melted in my mouth. For my main course I had the Colorado Heritage Lamb Rack in Salsa Verde, truffle mashed potatoes and charred asparagus. Ordered my lamb medium rare, which is the best way to have it. So soft and tender! Everything was seasoned just right and cooked to perfection. Portions are definitely enough to have enough for dinner and enough for some after you get back from Strawberry Park Hot Springs which is exactly what we did read more

I'm so sad about this experience . We had a reservation for my birthday dinner and it was so disappointing. We showed up and they had no idea about the res and made us feel like they were really doing us a favor giving us a table. Then the server had no idea she had a table, just happened to see us sitting in her section. We showed the text, proving the res and they still seemed to feel like they were doing us a favor. My husband tried to express, this was a birthday celebration and we never really felt like they were interested at all. No acknowledgment. 3 stars because the food was really good. We cut our stay short and left. read more

Great meal, and Amanda was the best! Can't wait for next time. Definitely coming back.

Walked in as a group of 5 and didn't feel welcomed from the hostesses, however the server made our experience great. The food was delicious! The restaurant wasn't too busy on a Saturday night in December close to 8:30pm. It was a bit of a wait from when we got our oysters to the rest of our entrees (~20 mins). Overall, would come back from the quality of food! read more

One of the best steaks I've had in a while! I absolutely loved the mac and cheese. It was perfect and not overly buttery. I had the filet mignon, and my husband had the bison. The ambiance is cozy, and the service is great. read more

Good food, but overpriced for what it was worth. Our server was friendly and informative but missed a few items we initially requested. They corrected the mistake but the experience was a little diminished because of it. Had a nice date night but have no inclination to return in the future. read more

Riverside? Check! Amazing service? Check! Happiest of happy hours? Absolutely! The Brussels spouts bursted with flavor and bacon. And don't worry, the burnt ends aren't really burned; they're delicious! read more

My food was amazing and the server was really friendly and attentive. We had a larger party and she fully accommodated us! There were mixed reviews on the food. I enjoyed my salmon Caesar and the truffle fries were spectacular. I tried a few bites of the lobster bisque and thought it was good as well. A friend ordered the steak and said it was cooked to perfection but lacked any flavor at all. The steak had no seasoning, she said even with the truffle butter, it didn't make it any better. read more

The staff are absolutely lovey! Beautiful room and outdoor setting. The food was good! But I was hoping for a little better for the $ and we sat and waited for an hour and fifteen minutes. We didn't actually get our meal until 8pm. That was disappointing. read more

Had the ribeye, crab cakes and all you can eat crab on Monday. Service and food were excellent and the crab is a good value at only $44 / person. The steak is from the owners ranch and you can taste the difference! read more

Poor service and mediocre food all for twice the price. Waited what felt like forever for our food and when it came it was not cooked as requested which took even more time to correct. If i'm paying over $500 for dinner for four people I expect much better. read more

This was the best restaurant that we experienced in Steamboat. The steak was perfection, shrimp cocktail was massive, hands down the best lobster bisque we had ever had, the bread service is a must! 10/10 recommend! Do not sleep on this place! Get the oysters read more

Stopped in just for a happy hour drink and got a great spot to enjoy it by the river. The scenery was amazing! There is a nice patio with multiple tables and chairs to dine at, fireplaces, and cute bright red Adirondack chairs to sit in and enjoy the river view. We did not try any of the food but the food I saw being served looked quite good and smelled delicious! read more

One of the great things about Steamboat Springs is that most places have Happy Hour. So...we went Happy Hour Hopping! But when you're my age, it's not the same as being 21 and going bar hopping. It's more like find a nice place with good ambiance that has "some" deals...even $2 off counts...LOL E3 Chophouse has a very pleasant area along the river (Yampa/Yamba? I should probably Google it first). I went with the Old Fashioned since it's a standard cocktail that most bars should be good at making. And this place does a good job. The setting near the river is very relaxing, with nice tables and a couple of wooden chairs looking out into the water. We didn't order any food, but we checked out the other tables, and the food looked good. Something to look forward to when we go back to Steamboat. read more

E3 was THE perfect spot for a bachelor party formal dinner for a good friend of mine! We were provided a private room where we could indulge in a variety of quality wines and cocktails, laugh, and enjoy one another's company during such a momentous occasion without interrupting other patrons. Our server was funny yet professional, and ensured we had a great time. The baseball florentine will go down as one of my favorite steaks. Cooked just right at medium rare topped with a creamy bérnaise sauce and king crab, I'm still dreaming of it. The flavor just exploded with each bite. The sautéed spinach en croute was a great side and balancer - fresh and vibrant, and warm and fluffy. I will note there could have been a couple of more bites of king crab, but the sheer delectability of the plate is surely the main point here. Thanks E3 for making my close friend's bachelor party dinner one for the books! read more

The filet is amazing , bone marrow butter too! Very good place, also go the shrimp, decent but not as good as the steak

Best steak I've had in years. The ribeye was amazing. The truffle mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and brusslels sprouts were fantastic. Kira was a great server. And the atmosphere was great! read more

Great experience! Our server was very attentive, the atmosphere was very welcoming, and the food was top-notch. If you're looking for an appetizer, the bacon wrapped dates are the best I've ever had! & I'm not normally a steak gal, but the filet was melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness. Highly recommend! read more

We had a pretty rough experience. Went for a friend's 70th birthday. Made reservations a long time ago. Got sat outside in a backyard away from the river with a view of a shed and mosquitos. We all ordered steaks with extra toppings etc. Demi glaze is solid. But the size of these steaks were pathetic and definitely weren't 8ozs. Probably about 5oz of meat for $80. The service was bizarre. We got more attention from the busser and the clean up crew. Our waitress disappeared for 30 minutes at a time. Took an odd amount of time to get drinks and she forgot a drink for almost the whole meal. I cannot fathom the prices they charge for the poor execution. $1100 for six people and a total bummer of a place. Wish I could get a refund. Every single person that had lobster bisque got sick that night. read more

If you're thinking about splurging dont. I dont think it was worth $100 per person Service was very poor and really not anything special about the food We had so many other meals while visiting Steamboat that were more worth the money than here. read more

The Good: Ambiance by the Yampa River The So-So: service, sound level The bad: the prices listed here on Yelp and the restaurant's own website are wrong. They're at least $10-15 higher per entree, appetizer, etc. And they were out of their one vegetarian entree. The ugly: food prep and quality were woefully below a "chophouse/steakhouse" level, let alone based on the outrageous prices they charged. My son can (and does) prepare steak better than their chefs do. Literally, the filet mignon has no taste. It was the most surreal experience. The temperature and taste have A LOT to be desired. I've had Play-Doh taste better than my filet. And the shared Cowboy sirloin steak... 18 oz of bone and fat, and maybe 4oz of ok-done meat/protein. I don't understand - if they own their own cattle farm/ranch in Kansas - and only serve the most prime of cuts, how they can butcher their food prep and taste of their own steaks! I sincerely don't understand this restaurant and their prices unless they're 95% dependent on corporate cards paying for meals and their employees being poor fiduciaries of their employers while trying to hustle a deal with poor food?! I've been to chain steakhouses that serve better tasting food than this. (At incredibly more reasonable prices.) Time for a total revamp - just keep the location. Maybe the owners should stick to baseball and hire real restaurateurs. Chef Gordon, I found a great one for a future show! TL;DR: Wife says the place is a rip-off. read more

We came out to celebrate a weekend getaway from the kids. Our server, Kira, was absolutely wonderful. When she heard we were on a getaway she brought us some complimentary champagne. We each ordered prime rib and split truffle Mac and cheese and brussel sprouts. The Mac and cheese was amazing! The sprouts and prime rib could've used a touch more seasoning, but still really good. We finished with their skillet cookie, which was really good. The food was great and Kira made the night even more wonderful with her service. read more

After dining at steakhouses all over the world - including several phenomenal ones in our Denver metro area (Guard + Grace, Shannahans, and others) - this was decidedly just ok. Incredible location, solid service, but a surprisingly weak wine list and very mediocre quality of meats. And while we're very used to resort town pricing, this place had a particularly eye-watering price point. Especially considering the "meh" quality of their steaks. Maybe worth a splurge if you're in town, but lots of far better options for this kind of fare in Colorado and beyond. read more

Not only was the food amazing but they are also doing great things for the community and country! Which was a refreshing way to spend my money. My mom came to visit and it was the perfect spot to show her what an outdoor evening on the river is like in Dreamboat! Our server was funny and patient and I can't wait to take other loved ones to E3! read more

Came for happy hour- summer. There's nothing better then sitting near the creek with the sound in the background. Today we were fortunate to see several kayakers and stand up paddleboards navigating the river. Happy hour menu was a nice design. Five dollars off the entire menu which makes it very easy. We enjoyed the buffalo cauliflower- it was huge! The shrimp cocktail had four massive shrimp. The grilled octopus was AMAZING and so hard to find.... LOVED the ambiance. Definitely right up my alley. read more

Best happy hour in town! Didn't come for dinner but judging from the photos it looks amazing. We came to enjoy the patio and drinks by the river (Summer) in the oversized red chairs. Couldn't have been more peaceful. The waitstaff is outstanding and place is something if you enjoy the finer things in life. I highly recommend! Come early if your there for happy hour and want to sit by the river. The chairs fill up fast! read more

The manager (balding guy) is such an a**hole - the owners really should reconsider his employment; he's rude to his staff and dismissive to the customers. BUT our servers were incredible and made the experience, and the food is good, but mid considering the price. The views make up for it. read more

The food is always exceptional. High quality meat and a nice selection of sides and appetizers. The location is great right in the heart of downtown Steamboat on the Yampa river. In the summer you can sit outside by the river. The wait staff is great and attentive. It is pricey so be ready to spend some cash. The sides are HUGE. So pick some to share. Make reservations because you won't get in on a friday or satuday without one. read more

Love the brunch at E3. Great deal on mimosas! Server Kevin and bartender Addie are real gems. Perfect spot to hang out on the river!

Lovely place for dinner and during the off season it was affordable too! We hit them up for their weekend Prime Rib night for $29 and it was delicious. I am a big fan of the thyme drink as well. The service with "Oh" was amazing as well, he had us rolling laughing throughout the night. read more

Spendy but ok. Went here on a double date w a couple of friends. The place is lovely in appearance and the deck is gorgeous. My wife and I shared the sword fish and also a tomato appetizer that was on special. The tomato app was decent but nothing overly flavorful or wow. Was basically half a tomato in slices w some blue cheese and bacon on top. The swordfish was done well but similarly was just there. A bit of mango and avocado on it. About 1/3 cup of rice w coconut milk on it. It wasn't bad, it just was not great. For those prices, I expect "Wow!" The server was nice and the timing on items was done we do l. read more

Food was amazing , beautiful ambiance, service was excellent! Strongly recommend. I had the salmon and it was cooked perfectly.

We biked here and you can find a good bike rack just 20ft north of their front door. The decor is beautiful inside and out. They have a happy hour but the details are a bit elusive. We were told by locals that they have a great happy hour. Frozen sangria is amazing but can be a bit slow to make depending on when they make the batch. The food is very tasty and offers a nice selection. My favorites were the steak kabobs and truffle fries. We only ate appetizers but I bet their dinner is great. The best feature is sitting on the back patio overlooking the Yampa river. Will definitely be back with a bigger appetite! read more

This is a gorgeous tourist trap. The food is OVERPRICED for the quality. It took us well over an hour to get our dry Caesar salads. We order the all you can eat crab legs that took so long to come and and of course they were cold. It was so slow that when the expensive food finally comes out you really really hope it was worth the wait and all the excuses the waiter made- but alas it was not. All of the other things we ordered were just ok. The lobster bisque was fine, same with the Brussels and potatoes. It only got more bland from there. The fries were not finished at a table of 6 hungry people- that tells you how they tasted. The Mac and cheese was, well as my niece put it all Mac and no cheese. This is a beautiful restaurant on the river. BUT it is not worth the time or money. If I am going to buy expensive food it better be delicious and hot. They are taking advantage of tourists that think they are going to get a 5 star dining experience. I didn't take any pics of our food because by the time it came out we were all starving and still none of us even finished our meals. Save your money read more

this once great restaurant has dwindled to absolute horrendous ness! ya sure it's a beautiful spot, but not pretty enough to make up for the horrendous management and food. spent over $500 for 3 people, only 1 person had 1 cocktail. was my favorite place once upon a time. the manager that kept it great seems to be long gone. rest in peace E3 read more

The food is hit or miss but the prices are always high. The place has a nice, higher end feel to it and sometime you get a good steak. The service also depends on the night. Living here we have seen good service and other nights we felt invisible. There are other options so we stopped going there. If you want to take a chance, go for it, you may be satisfied. read more

The service was good and the ambiance was okay as well. However the steak I ordered wasn't cooked to the correct temperature. Then when I sent it back to get it corrected it was way overcooked. Also, the sides were cold when they got to the table. Overall, it just wasn't a great experience read more

This is my third time at E3. I've been previously happy but this last visit was lacking on several levels. We ordered a few things to split, including a filet. The filet was ordered medium - rare and arrived well-done. Normally would have returned it but someone else was treating and didn't want to make a big scene. Waiter was glum and not very pleasant. Bummer. Drink and ambiance very good. read more
