Elways - Vail

Whoops I did it again....love this spot! Stopped in on a Monday night 7 and while the bar was full we got a nice table in the back. Service was spectacular as was the food!! Love the warm sourdough bread they serve my son said it was the BEST steak he ever had (8 oz filet) the side of fries he got were embarrassing in the massive portion size) he loves them. The Grand Hyatt had recommended the burger.. and while I felt funny ordering (I was eyeballing the salmon) it was DELICIOUS! Wow, so good and perfectly prepared. Also served with a very generous portion of fries...we could have split those alone. Forgot that I don't love the marg (the mix has a funny flavor) but i ordered it! Great spot to sit and talk, very comfortable I did I say exceptional service!! Wish I had room for the ding dong desert...next time...

The 3.2 star rating here doesn’t accurately represent the current food and service experience. I dined here with a large group, and everything was outstanding. The steaks, appetizers, and sides were all delicious. The service we received was friendly and attentive. I noticed some people are complaining about the prices, but keep in mind that this is Vail, which isn't exactly a budget-friendly destination. Additionally, I would like to know where those folks buy their wine, as I don't think it's fair to say the wine prices are 3 to 5 times retail. The wine list is quite extensive, and the prices are competitive with other high-end restaurants. For context, we also had dinner at Mountain Standard and Vendettas, and I can confidently say that the food at Elway's was significantly better. Don’t be misled by the low star rating!

We went out for dinner and had an excellent experience from the moment we walked in, through the drinks, and to the food service. We sat outside on the patio, enjoying the beautiful weather. I ordered the steak, and it was one of the best I've ever had—perfectly cooked, incredibly tasty, and wonderfully tender. The next time I'm in Vail, I will definitely dine there again.

I'm honestly puzzled as to why this place doesn't have a higher rating. I've been visiting Elway's for years, and I always make it a point to come here because the steaks are absolutely fantastic.

Nice ambience. Friendly service. Vail-appropriate pricing for a couple of 8-oz filets. The steak rub is 'not gluten friendly, not soy friendly, not nut friendly ' but tasted delicious. Perfect touch of crunch on top of a perfect grilling. Great sautéed mushrooms and baked potato with everything. We enjoyed our quiet, low-key meal. Then key lime pie to top it off. Well done.
