                                                          Unfortunately the special Christmas dinner was not great. For the price of $145 per person, it wasn't anywhere near worth it, and the food quality was very disappointing.

Our appetizer was ok - we had the calamari (it was quite tough) other than that it was good. Overall a fabulous dinner.

                                                          Thank you for the opportunity to write a review for ELWAYS Downtown. Dining there for the first time on Christmas day was an absolute pleasure! Our meals were second to none, and the staff was professional, knowledgeable, patient, kind, and dedicated to providing top-notch guest services. ELWAYS Downtown exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to our return!

                                                          We were pleasantly surprised to find that we had access to both the dinner menu and the special Christmas menu. The servers were very considerate and attentive and the food was delicious. Highly recommend.

                                                          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.
