We ate dinner at Elway's tonight for the first time. The staff were courteous proficient and funny. Dennis was our primary waiter and he went above and beyond with the level of service he provided. The steak was amazing as well as the lobster tail. We also had the macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and the chocolate cake. All of these choices were amazing. However, if you like your steak well done this may not be the place for you. If you like your steak done the way it should be then this is definitely the place for you. I would highly recommend a visit even though it is a bit costly the food portions are really large. Most of us in our party shared entrées and sides. Finally they have an extensive wine menu and the servers are very knowledgeable on the wine. read more

What an incredible steak! Relaxed atmosphere, attentive humorous service, unpretentious elegant atmosphere The turtle New York cheesecake was just exceptional read more

Omg Steak and Rack of Lamb I have ever had. The staff was very helpful with substituting due to food allergies. Everything was first class.

Everything, including my 28oz Porterhouse, was amazing! And a big thank you to Jen for fitting us in.

Amazing quality food, service decor and menu options were all top notch! Best meal I had in vail. Filet was cooked perfect, sides and sauces were sooooo good and dessert was bananas. The lamb chop fondue Is a must along with the short rib, and the cookies and milk for dessert. Ross our server just completed the whole great dinning experience and we were a large party of 7. Can't wait to come back on my next trip and eat here again! read more

Excellent meat dishes, cooked to perfection, but the wine list is absolutely to die for! However, be prepared to spend some serious money on these exquisite wines... Truly a unique dining experience and an absolute must when in Vail. read more

Hands down the best filet I've ever had in my life! The steak here was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The potatoes au gratin are delicious, they crumble potato chips on top for an added crunch. The calamari is truly a show stopper, it is crispy and delicious and they also fry up some spicy peppers with it. Another absolute must are he crab cakes! They are moist and flavorful and extremely fresh, you can tell that they haven't been frozen. To end your meal try the key lime pie or the cheesecake! I loved everything we ordered here and will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

You can't beat this location and we absolutely love Elway's in Cherry Creek so we thought we would give them a try for a Birthday dinner. Service was excellent and steaks were all well prepared (to each persons taste) the sides were fresh and hot. So the only complaint I have is that our server approached the table immediately to tell us what all the items they were out of that night, I must say the list was long. Fortunate for all of us we had our hearts set on steaks. However, the hot item Lamb Chop Fondue we were unable to try since it was on the lists of items they were out of. read more

Loved the patio and the happy hour. We went when it was slow, which was nice because it was quiet. Our waitress was very personable and attentive. The calamari was good, artichoke too- even though it was small. We had the red wine on HH and really liked it- great deal! We have eaten at Elways in Denver for fine dining and this location lived up to Vail and what you would expect. We would go back for sure! read more

The tuna tartare appetizer was fantastic, as was the charred red pepper soup! The bone-in fillet was excellent, and somewhat uncommon to find on a menu. The service was good, but could have been better. read more

Went Elways rest with 6 People ... in march food came out all different one at different times .. none of the meals were correct .. the manager was not polite and the people I was sitting with all own buissnes's in chicago ... usually the manager would comp a drink ir dessert ... this was NOT the case ... I live there most of the year .... recommmend never to go back .. one of the men in my party told the manager ....He didnt care ... recommend NOT to go back and been there before food is fair..... read more

Last night we went to La Tour, tonight a guy a breakfast recommended Elway's. Well I've been two weeks in the Rockies at Snowmass and Vail, this by far the best experience and good so far, Billy has done an amazing job, great cocktails and wine, my 5 and 3 year old were well catered for and the food was excellent. Would recommend this as a fantastic place to eat, well done Elway's read more

Steaks were very good as was service. everything is a la carte and overpriced. It is hard to spend less than $80-100 per person. The restaurant is very loud and it is difficult to have a conversation. Great steaks at half the price and not a la carte are at Russells. Better prime rib available at Lancelot again at less than half of Elways. read more

Best steakhouse in Vail! Great steaks, outstanding apps & sides, and excellent service. I am surprised by some of the comments on here, our experience was nothing but perfect. We started with the Lobster cocktail and the lamb fondue. I don't typically like lamb but I tried it and loved it! I would order it all over again. The Lobster cocktail was similar to a nice shrimp cocktail but unique because it was lobster tails. As the only steakhouse in Vail that actually serves Prime grade beef, the steaks were very tender and flavorful. We had a side of cauliflower and brussels sprouts, both were amazing! The cauliflower was the best any vegetable has ever tasted to me. I wish I could eat a dish of it every day. We finished with their signature dessert, a ding dong. Soooo good. Not a bite left. Although others have complained about the bad service we found our servers impeccable. Our water glasses were never empty, all of our food arrived as ordered and well staged between courses, we never had to ask for anything. Very thoughtful and pleasant to deal with. I would definitely say this is the best steakhouse in Vail and we will be back next time we are in Vail. read more

Best steaks in the Vail Valley! Shrimp and the Ding Dings also rocked!

Great restaurant. I had the bone out short ribs perfect. Filet cooked perfect. Sides, salads wonderful. Our server Shayna. I think it was her name was very professional. All servers very attentive. read more

Waiter was so rude. Steaks were cold. Wine is way to over priced. Such a special night for us. Very bummed.

We were in Vail for the end of fall break and decided to go to Elways for dinner. The food is always Great! We made a reservation for 7 and got there a few minutes early and our table was not ready. Once we were seated, at a table that was not completely set up, it took about 5 minutes before our server came over. He took our drink order, I wanted Moscato and he told me they didn't have it. I then asked for a different glass of wine. 5 minutes later someone else (maybe the manager?) returned to tell us that she no longer had the wine I asked for but instead had a Moscato she could offer (which I asked for in the first place). Once that was finally situated we put our order in and got our appetizers. The server told us at this point that he would bring bread out as soon as it was done baking. Appetizers were gone and we saw 3 other tables around us get bread. We asked for bread again and his reply was "It's still baking, I will bring it once its done." Lie or not? Despite all of this our food was delicious. My biggest drawback with our experience is the fact that we are a family of 7 and were about to spend a lot of money, and honestly should have gotten immaculate service but we didn't. We will not return to this Elways location because our overall experience was poor. read more

We shared a steak, no problem, we shared the veggies, no problem. They have the best grilled artichokes! They were unbelievable. The rub on the Porterhouse steak is unbelievable & was also used on the artichokes which are then grilled and served with lemons. The salads were also delicious and generous. The staff was attentive and very helpful. Really enjoyed the atmosphere & evening. read more

I have been to Elway's in Denver several times and had great experiences, but Elway's Vail was a huge disappointment. I had the ribeye and my friend had the filet, both were just mediocre and definitely not worth the money. The biggest letdown was the service. The service was absolutely terrible. Our server completely ignored us once our food was brought. At least an hour passed before another server visited our table. I had to track down a manager just to get our check! Absolutely ridiculous and I will never be back. read more

Lamb chops were sensational, this is their signature dish besides the bone-in filet which they were out of and appear to be out quite early in the evening; usually by 6pm. An extensive wine list that covers every region of the world can be pricey but not unusual. Great service tandem by Michael and Andrew! We would definitely go back. read more

First time and last. I ordered King Crab legs with NO butter when my dish arrived it was soaked in butterI mentioned it to our waiter and all he did was take it out of the butter dish and put it in another. Hello it was soaked in butter Very disappointing Unsatistified customer read more

The maitre d is a pompous ass. The food is good but you are guarantied to have to wait as least 45 mins. I had a reservation for 3 months only to be told that it was going to be an hour wait after I had been there 15 before my reservation. Overall I've been there a few times and always been treated poorly and over charged. I'm never going back. read more

Easily, the worst and rudest staff I have ever run into at a supposedly high end restaurant! Besides, the food at Flame was better anyway. Not sure what the fuss is all about. I've had many fine steaks at a lot of different steakhouses across the country and I don't see why the staff acts so arrogant. Not worth the treatment you receive. Acted as if they were doing me and my family a favor to serve us. Certainly won't return on my next trip to Vail. read more

Worst restaurant ever! We arrived at 9:15 PM, and by 10:50 we were still waiting for our entrees. Being a high end restaurant, and after asking several times for our food with no answer, we asked to talk to the manager to see if the food was coming or we just ask for the check of the appetizers we had. Suddenly, the supposed manager in turn J. C. Clark, came to our table with no apologies, but instead with a terrible attitude, her hands on her hips, and yelled: "Just to clarify, are you cancelling or not, because it seems that you are staying". It was clear that she was kicking us out of the restaurant. When we confronted her and tried to make our point, she said: "you are making a scene" to what we answered that in fact we wanted everyone in the restaurant to be aware of the treatment we were having from her. When we were ready to go, and since we were making patent that we were extremely upset, one of the waiters by the name of Austin (he wasn't even our waiter), said that the delay was our fault because we asked for a well done salmon. It meant that we, the clients, were to blame for their ineptitude. So when one of us tried to find out his name, he said f**k you. During the incident, one of the cooks came to us (since he had seen everything) and said that he didn't understand what had happened, because the food was ready 20 minutes after it was ordered and was not picked up. After listening to the ordeal, the General Manager Joe Infantino tried to calm us down of all the aggravation, he really tried hard to fix it, but we were extremely insulted and we were already on our way out of the place. We don't understand what happened to manager Clark or to the waiter Austin, since it was probably going to be a 350 or 400 dollars check (by the way, no client or potential client should be treated like that). Maybe it was because it was already late or maybe because of a racist component or maybe because they were trying to blame us for their mistake, but we ended extremely upset and with no dinner at all (at 11:00 PM all the restaurants in Vail were already closed). We will make sure that all our Mexican friends know about this incident. We are also considering taking legal action for all the aggravations. read more

Awesome. Can't say enough about our Elway experience. We had the iceberg wedge which is huge and delicious, the 8 oz filet (6 oz would have been plenty) and the creamed spinach. Our waiter Greg was exceptional. Highly recommend this upscale restraunt. read more

Wow!!!! So i called to make a reservation for New Years and the gentleman who answered was EXTREMELY rude. I could only imagine how your other employees are. read more

We have come to Elways in previous years and loved the food and service. This year, the food stayed true to form (the chef did a wonderful job) however the service was extremely poor and not representative of the standard of food and setting. To add 20% service charge without any choice in the matter added insult to injury. read more

Horrible. No one at our table of six expressed any desire to return. Loud atmosphere, sleazy crowd, gristly steak. With so many great restaurants in Vail, Elway better watch his back. read more

we read the reviews and thought -ok mixed reviews. so expectations were low. this was the best steak I have ever had. The meat itself was delicious flavorful and tender, the bone-iin ribeye gets 5 stars - a good char on the outside with perfectly pink tender steak on the inside. the asparagus was delicious. my friend ordered the NY with blue cheese which was also excellent. pared with a full merlot from Napa it was a meal to remember. deserts were excellent. service was good.. I will be back. read more

I love steak, I love steakhouses. This is one of the worst experiences I've had. From the old, dried out olives in my drink, to the under cooked (twice) 8 oz NY strip, everything was substandard to the prices being asked. I ordered an 8oz NY strip, because they were out of the 16 oz as well as the 22oz rib eye. Probably should have left after finding out the steakhouse had no steak. My friend's short rib was cold when it got there. They did take the entrees off the bill, but this was so bad, it deserved more. This was a slow week here, but be warned, this place can be awful, bush league. It would get zero stars if I could. read more

For those of you who think this is good food, you've been lied to. If you love garlic then rock on, but if you like the taste of food go elsewhere. First off the service was slow and poor, we had both a waiter and a waitress that at first pushed us to order and then they disappeared. I can't comment on the appetizers but I bet they were covered in garlic. My blue cheese wedge was OK except the dressing had a lot of garlic in it. Honestly, thousands of years of dairy farming science to eliminate onion and garlic flavors from milk and butter only to have Elway put it back in? Blue cheese should be tangy not garlicky. My steak had an overly spicy rub on it to the point I couldn't taste the meat, garlic again. What is a steak supposed to taste like? STEAK!!! Not a mower running through an herb garden. I think everything on the menu is over salted, possibly even MSG'ed, and covered in garlic. Well, except for desert, but by the time that came around my mouth had had enough of the loud almost Korean tasting food. Anytime the food is this overly spiced think they are using the spices to coverup sub-par food. Anyway, I had a bellyache all night long. Not worth it to me. Final point, there was no Bourbon on the menu, scotch and brandy but no American Bourbon in an American steak house. Shame on you Mr. Elway! read more

I had dinner with a bunch of friends while skiing. My friend and I both ordered the same steak, but at different temperatures. They served us each other's steak. I wound up eating half of a steak that was way too rare for me. They took mine back and cooked it some more and gave my friend a new steak. The service was fine and the steak, once corrected was fine, but if you are going to bill yourself as a top line steakhouse and charge accordingly, you should get the steak right. read more

Highly enjoyable dinning experience. sommelier was one of the best I have encountered. Fun menu.

It's Elway's ... in Vail. Nothing special. Service is good, not great. Meat market during happy hour. Okay if you are a cougar with a lot of Botox -- otherwise it's okay to skip. Burger and tacos are good -- but SO many better options. Sorry John. Love you in football. Not in food. read more

I want to say great job in the customer service, if it wasn't for the servers our thanksgiving experience would have been really horrible. That is the only compliment I can give for Elway's as the food was terrible. We did the thanksgiving "not so" special and the turkey was super dry. The best pasty was the soup. I don't know if I will ever go back. read more

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Greeted by friendly hosts, severed by attentive amazing servers and just loved loved loved everything about it. The food was well prepared and delicious. I can't say enough about the amazing staff and food. We had so much fun! You expect great service in Vail but they went above and beyond in making our visit the best possible. 5 STARS of AWESOME!! read more

Excellent meal, with great service. Steak was fantastic. Highly recommended place in Vail Village.

Went for Christmas dinner. Excellent service, delicious food (NO COMPLAINTS WHAT SO EVER) Atmosphere was top notch. Will return soon.

We loved everything about this restaurant! The steaks were perfect and every side dish we ordered was excellent as well. Our son had the burger and it was great. Patio seating is the way to go on a nice summer night! Service was also very good! read more
