Tonight was probably the least attentive service we've ever received. Our drinks took too long to fill, the order of service was not normal as our bread for the table had to be requested. The last course took entirely too long to be offered. And the bill took too long to be provided. I don't know if our server has too many tables but we've been coming to Elways since our son begged us to for his 14th birthday. He's now 21 going on 22. It has always been a location of celebration. Tonight it was more of a disappointing event.

So VERY disappointing! No where near worth what we paid for this dining experience! Old-fashioned cocktail was not very good, steaks were undercooked as well as the baked potatoes. We sent the first potatoes back; yep, second ones were not completely cooked either. The manager brought the second ones to our table, commenting that these were hot “because I just watched them come out of the oven “. The problem was not that they weren’t hot; they were not completely cooked! No apology was offered for the inconvenience of having to send food back. In all honesty, the steaks should have been sent back as well. We did not completely eat either of the entrees. We were there for en early evening reservation and had requested a somewhat quiet booth if possible; we were seated in a booth adjacent to the high traffic area. There were plenty of other booths available in the less busy dining area. I gave two stars because at least our server was nice and the salads were decent.

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.

We had a wonderful first time experience. Our waiter did a fabulous job. Our food was delicious we had the twin lobster tails and ribeye. Our appetizer was ok - we had the calamari (it was quite tough) other than that it was good. Overall a fabulous dinner.

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.
