About this business

Two friends, John Elway and Tim Schmidt came together to create this restaurant. They put together a menu that's always evolving and a wine list with prices that won't burn a hole in your pocket. The restaurant boasts of serving the freshest food and there is a lot on offer to tickle your palate. The duck tacos, shrimp cocktail, lamb fondue and cured meat board are a must from the range of starters. From the main course, go for the crab fried rice, prime rib, Hawaiian sun fish and steak loaf. The wine list is extensive, with... read more

I love this place for steaks and Lobster cocktails – I came here for the steaks, started off with the lobster cocktails. It was delicious. The bread in the beginning is all you need, so take it slow.

Better look like you belong there..... – Well the one time I decided to venture into Elways I was on business in Denver, I decided that I wanted to go out and have a nice meal. As we passed by Cherry Creek mall I noticed Elways and thought it would be a nice change from national chains. I was dressed in a nice oxford shirt and some jeans and my co-worker just the same. We decided to head in and we were seated on the patio. We noticed the manager was standing at the table next to us talking to two lovely ladies. We waited and... read more

Crazy bar, Ok food, wait time was insane... – Elway's is where my brother and sister in law had their rehearsal dinner for their wedding this past June. They had reservations and when we arrived, but we had to wait over an hour to get in. Hanging out in the bar was a wall to wall sea of people, mostly older men and women. Once the back room opened up for us, the service was wonderful. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. My only complaint about dinner was the crab. I don't even want to know how much it cost, but I'm fr... read more

To be seen or to eat -- this is the question – I love the atmosphere at Elways and the service was good -- however, the food was not that great. The baked potatoe had definately been around for awhile - the salad was limp BUT the vegetables (green beans) were great. The sauce - which costs extra - the sauce was really not very good - in fact it was awful. Both my husband and I were feeling a little queasy that evening after dinner and also the next day. I actually think that the dressing on the salad or in my case the Bernai... read more

Great Food, Service, and Ambience – Second visit to Elway's and we were again extremely happy with the impeccable service, unpretentious atmosphere. A wonderful place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We'll be back. Not even a hint of anything bad to say.

Can't Beat Wednesday's at Elway's! – I've gotten into a terrible habit, but I would highly recommend it! Two weeks ago I had lunch at Elway's and experienced the BEST burger of my life (the Smash Burger). That same evening, I met a friend of mine at the bar for a toddy after work. We met 3 other people at the bar that night ( we all play on the same volleyball team now) and had a great time. Wednesday is now my Elway's day. I have lunch there, and then return about 6:00 for a drink and some great conversation. The atmosphere... read more

I'm a simple girl... I like the burgers – Elway's is probably my favorite lunch place and has a wonderful relaxed dinner atmosphere as well. Service is attentive, but not obtrusive; food is always delightful and if you are a bloody mary fan, you must try this one. All in all, I can't recall ever having a bad experience. The menu is also varied. One can have a simple burger (that is always a good time) or the best Mediteranean salad that I have ever had or go with something a little more unique like crab fried rice or duck ta... read more

I love their food – We eat out a lot but have found no place we like as much as Elway's. You can get a fantastic meal in a friendly, non-pretenous atmosphere. The Japanese Sea Bass and crab fried rice are unusual and delicious. My husband loves the Filet with a Ceasar Salad (great dressing, I crave it!) We usually share a dessert and hang out because it's comfortable. Elway's is always a good evening out!

Shame on you John Elway – Worst meal in town. I have seen John Elway at Tamayo's, so I know he knows good food and service. Why doesn't he read the reviews and change things? I guess because he doesnt have to. My expensive steak was so filled with gristle, I had to emit it out in my napkin, over and over. Finally I could stand it no longer & took it back. The second steak was not cool in the midlle but ice cold. Could not eat either steak. Upon arriving at 5:15 pm (no crowds), it took 5 minutes to get seated, while 6 waitsta... read more
