Avocado Toast
Misty E.

I was invited to a breakfast at Elway's during my conference in Denver. It's located just a few blocks from the convention center. It was easier to walk to instead of driving (lots of traffic). The breakfast menu was decent but there could have been a larger variety for the dairy-free, egg-free people out here. I decided on the avocado toast, which is very difficult to mess up. I was pleased with the amount of avocado. It also came with a very small arugula salad. Service was fine.

Quick stop in for a drink before a dinner reservation nearby. I have never been to Elway's before and although I did not try any of the food, I'm sure it is divine. I tried the Peach Bourbon Smash and it was an interesting mix of tastes. It was ok and at $21, one drink was plenty for me. I did enjoy the Palisade Peach wedge on the side -- always nice to support local Coloradans. Service and ambiance were great, as expected. I am looking forward to going back and trying the food menu.

Bloody Mary.. better in person than the pic!
Brittany C.

Elway's was on our list because we are Broncos fans visiting from out of state and you know, who doesn't love John Elway? Anyway, we came for brunch on a Sunday and made reservations thru Open Table. Given the time of year, it wasn't very busy. The restaurant gives an upscale but welcoming vibe. Our server Andy let us ask him 1,000 questions about the menu and recommendations and he didn't seem bothered one bit. He actually was very friendly, engaged, honest, and a great server. One of his recommendations was the steak burrito, which coming from CA I wasn't sure I wanted because CA makes great burritos already.. but, I went with it. Oh my gosh.. The steak burrito 5/5.. juicy, good, tons of flavor and lots of steak, needed no sauce at all. Best steak burrito I think I've had. French toast with apple compote 5/5 the chantilly cream and the airy good French toast were great together. Yum. 5/5 Colorado morning breakfast with the turkey sausage option w/a side of avocado 5/5 Out order took a bit to come out so he gave us pastries and fruit to help which was kind and appreciated. I'd also like to note I did ask about the crab Benedict and they gave me the option to order it (it wasn't on this menu anymore). Bloody Mary 5/5... my mom loved it. Great flavor not too spicy, not watery but not thick. One of the best bloody's. Hugo spritz 5/5... okay this was refreshing, a little strong, and comes with a big rosemary garnish which is perfect. I'd order again. We were so pleased with the food, service, and kindness of this restaurant I'd hope to bring my family back when visiting again. Thanks, Andy!

Elway's Downtown was a good dining experience. Located in the lobby of The Ritz-Carlton, Denver, it is centrally located to many city landmarks and major sporting fields. It is also within walking distance to 16th Street Mall. It is what you'd expect from an upscale steakhouse. However, their menu is diverse as they also offer breakfast and brunch. Unlike some steakhouses, they have a decent dessert menu. The customer service was good. I dined during late lunch, so the dining room was virtually empty. I had very good seating near the wine display. I ordered the steak breakfast burrito which was absolutely delicious. You can order it topped with sausage gravy or Colorado green chili. Overall, a very good experience and I will visit again when in the area.

Ribeye steak
Josh Y.

Fantastic ribeye steak. Good service. Great vibes. I was there with a group after a conference event. The restaurant was flexible with us and served a spontaneous group of 10+ people. My steak came out perfect medium rare. It was tender and flavorful. It was much better than the steak I had the next night at the capitol grille. Great steak = great review. I'm very picky about my steaks too. I'd come back sometime.

Mocktail Spritzer
Samantha M.

After a business event, a coup of us wanted to unwind and have a drink. This was my first time checking Elway's out and I definitely want to go back. It's a beautiful space in the gorgeous Ritz Carlton. The service was exceptional and my mocktail hit the spot. I peeked at their menu an d plan to come back the next time I'm in Denver.

Lamb chop fondue with sweet potatoes
Cheyenne C.

I'm not sure if this is the airport one or not but Holy CRAP. We had this restaurant for the first time on Saturday and I haven't stopped talking about it! We had the lamb chop fondue, the corn/ chicken chowder, the Mac n cheese and the steak salad and it was all to die for ! Highly highly recommend checking this place out asap ! The service was so sweet, nice and helpful ! The airport restaurant itself was so nice inside and roomy ! Do yourself a favor and check this place out for the best, seasoned greatly steak and lamb chops !!!

Restaurant entrance (from lobby)
Edie A.

Hadn't been to Elway's at the Ritz in a while. Stopped in for a drink before dinner at another location. Entrance to Elway's is now only through the main lobby. We sat at the bar and were greeted and served immediately. I opted for a slightly dirty vodka Martini with plain olives (Tito's vodka, nothing special). I was surprised when we got the tab and discovered my drink was $23. I didn't even get the caviar-stuffed olives. The ambiance was nice and relaxing, they provided us with a trio of snacks (mixed nuts, potato chips, and wasabi peas), and my friend had never been to Elway's, so the price was more for the experience.

Elway's steak salad
Sonja A.

This was a first to Elway's downtown and boy how impressive is this place? Yes, the food is a bit on the pricey side (a la carte menu) but it is also very, very fantastic. We came here to celebrate my son's birthday in February and the fun part (for me) was as we were greeted by the hostess, she handed my son a signed photo from John Elway (prolly a facsimile). I think I was more stoked than he was. For dinner my son ordered the Rib-eye. I wasn't doing so well so ended up with soup and salad. Neither of us were disappointed. His rib eye was cooked as ordered, medium. I figured it was pretty darn tasty as he polished off all 22oz. I had the soup of the day, which was a Chicken Tortilla and it was excellent. It comes with the usje toppings, cheese, chips and sour cream. Our waitress was fabulous and even though it was busy with many patrons, it didn't seem too loud. Didn't notice anyway. The bathrooms are shared with the hotel and they are kept in excellent condition. Clean is key! The only downside was the parking situation. It being downtown was expected but the garage across the street (south side) had a different way to enter (call a number and speak to an automated agent with Q&A. Like, I just want to park please.) Anyway the garage closed up before we were done with dinner so we had to walk around to the other south side and get help from security. Totally spaced the valet option so definitely will try this next time. And of course would highly recommend doing such.

This is an exquisitely cool bar at the Ritz in the sterile steel empty lot wasteland of downtown Denver. Brilliant service and very cool individual black booths (a good option when not wanting the steak house attached). The chicken wings looked great but sadly lacked the addicting flavor of its rivals. Great wedge salad. Would have liked a steak, but not at $75 thanks at a zenned up sports bar. Definitely this spot about the only option in immediate area for those lost in translation nights.

Timothy M.

Overall the experience was very pleasant. The service was incredible and the environment was perfect for a fun night out. As for the food and drinks. The steak and sides were amazing. The cocktails were decent. I would recommend sticking with what's in the menu and not venturing off to a crafted drink. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

No matter what you get here, you will enjoy it. I haven't had a bad dish or drink here. Do not skip out on the Per La Tavola (for the table plates). They are all so good. We normally get the Piatti Di Cicchetti (olives, pickled veggies, and almonds), Piatti Di Salumi (prosciutto, salame, coppa), and the Burrata. They all complement each other SO WELL. Pair that with a white wine and you got yourself a time. The 2 course offering for lunch is also phenomenal. I got the Insalata Mista (lettuce, shallot, reggiano) and it's a decent sized salad and very tasty. The Mafaldine (lamb ragu, pecorino romano) is to die for. Such great flavor and the pasta is always cooked perfectly. The service here is always top-notch too. The staff is very well-trained and is on top of everything. Truly a well-oiled machine. The atmosphere here is impeccable too. You can tell that everything was thought of for a great experience: lighting, table layout, decor, etc. It is a great place to bring a significant other, business customers, etc. I cannot wait for my next visit to Tavernetta and I was just there a few hours ago!

Absolutely Exceptional…read more Jack's on Pearl exceeded every expectation. As Texas transplants, we've enjoyed some incredible steakhouses over the years and have traveled extensively, but this was truly one of the best dining experiences we've had. We even drove up from Colorado Springs for our 18th wedding anniversary, and it was worth every mile. We started with the wedge salad, which was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor--easily one of the best wedge salads we've ever had. The warm bread service was incredible and paired perfectly with the house-made spreads. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and absolutely unforgettable. The highlight of the evening was the Wagyu steak topped with cheesy potato croquettes. It was cooked to perfection and so tender it practically melted in your mouth. Every bite was packed with incredible flavor and was one of those dishes you continue talking about long after the meal is over. What impressed us most was that every single item we ordered was exceptional. The quality of the ingredients, attention to detail, presentation, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. After reading some of the reviews beforehand, we weren't sure what to expect. In our experience, this restaurant is incredibly underrated. Our meal, service, and overall experience were outstanding from start to finish. If you're looking for a special dinner, anniversary celebration, or simply one of the best meals you'll have in Colorado, Jack's on Pearl is absolutely worth the visit. We will definitely be back and will be recommending it to friends and family. Thank you to the entire team for making our 18th anniversary so memorable. -- Andrea & Sergio

Honestly, I had low expectations. And yes, you are going to eat bull balls here. That is part of the deal. Fortunately, my low expectations were exceeded considerably. The Rocky Mountain Oysters (the bull balls) basically taste like batter. I would say their consistency and taste are most similar to calamari. A half order is plenty. The horseradish which accompanied the dish was milder than mayonnaise but still tasted nice and it was definitely better than the ketchupy stuff that also came with the plate. The buffalo prime rib was tender and not gamey at all. The (beef) steak was nice. They also offer other game animals like elk and quail. Our server was wonderful. She gave excellent recommendations. You can't discuss this restaurant without mentioning all the stuffed animals everywhere and the zillion animal heads mounted on the walls. It takes a little getting used to. The bar upstairs is very cool and is worth a visit but you want to dine downstairs for the best ambience. The food is good but not amazing. Call me a dumb tourist but this is a unique, fun place.

All were so good. We were excited for the steaks to be the pièce de résistance-- I ordered a skirt steak with chimichurri. However, what came was not a skirt steak at all? It was an unidentifiable cut of meat, some type of no bone fillet, but definitely not a skirt steak When I asked the server - Nathan, who was very nice, what was up with it, he asked me if I really wanted to know, then proceeded to tell me that before the meats arrive to the restaurant, they are often glued together using ' meat glue' to make the pieces larger and more symmetrical for restaurants. I guess people complained about the size of the steaks.?? it seems crazy to me to try to alter a cut of meat this way, I suggest giving people multiple pieces instead The cut I received was good, cooked exactly as I ordered it and well seasoned, but I was weirded out by the whole situation
