                                                          Just had Christmas lunch at Elways. Tommy, a 10 veteran was our server and he was exceptional. There was a slight mix up on our reservation so they comped us two glasses of wine and our appetizer. Tommy sold us on trying the Colorado lamb rack and it was the best I've ever had. All the staff was supportive, the vibe is elegant but comfortable and I can strongly recommend Elways for a special occasion, to impress a client or just to reward yourself with a great meal done right in everyway.

                                                          This was our first time at this location. Typically we eat at the one in Vail or at the Cherry Creek location that closed. Our experience was very disappointing. I felt like we were eating at a low end hotel, no name restaurant. The service was slow, my steak was warm, not hot and the melted blue cheese reminded me of the blue cheese you’d get on your steak at a cheap bar. I’m not a fan of Texas Roadhouse but compared to our experience today, Texas Roadhouse would have been a better value and steak. We went to STK for Thanksgiving, we should have went back tonight. I expected more and will not go back to this location.

                                                          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.

                                                          Food service and accommodations were awesome. Drinks were a little inconsistent with taste but other than that, it was great.
