A wonderful night to remember.
This was a surprise date night to my wife. I’ve booked this place over two weeks and after doing countless research on the best place in Vail for steak.
The service from Alejandra was fantastic. She was attentive and continuously wished my wife a Happy Birthday. More on this later.
We ordered a feast as we came into this meal hungry.
We both loved our steaks. So tender, juicy and oozing with flavor – we agreed that we were happy with our decisions on the filets.
The onion rings are by far the best in class. So tender inside but the thick beer battered outer layer still complimented the sweet vonion to perfection. I was shocked as most places who serve battered onion rings are a grease fest. These onion rings were a decadent experience.
The fries were okay. We both wished they were a little crisper.
The mashed potatoes are heavenly. Definitely a thick amount of butter was used in these to give a buttery flavor that hit tons of notes. It was a great side piece for the steak.
Lastly, the server, Alejandra served my wife a complimentary slice of the Decadent Chocolate Cake as a “Happy Birthday” present.
Such a nice touch of hospitality that we won’t forget.
It was a very moist cake with tons of rich chocolate flavor. Definitely a mist get.
Overall, the night was a success. Thank you to Elway’s for a magical end to our mountain getaway.

Professional Staff, Gorgeous and Elegant Interior, but Hype-up Super Expensive Food. The moment you walk into this stylish restaurant, you would expect none but the best culinary experience. We were very impressed at how friendly and courteous the staff were. We didn’t have a reservation, but we were greeted and seated pretty quickly. Staff explained the menu so well, and that made us hungrier. I had a dinner special that came with filet mignon and a lobster tail. I will say it was about average. We also have artichoke we couldn’t have a second bite so it is to be avoided. I love rabbit food, but this high-end restaurant doesn’t know how to make it delicious. It is all about the food, and Elway’s will not make my humble taste cut.

We can confidently say that this is easily the best restaurant in Vail Colorado. The friendly & professional staff greeted us upon arrival. When going to Elway’s in Vail you can observe and feel the attention that the chef gives to the menu. The Chef & staff here definitely go above and beyond and you can see the attention to detail from the beginning to end. The shrimp cocktail began by giving our taste buds a wonderful introduction to Elway’s. Shortly afterwards we moved over to the lobster tails and 10 oz Fillets. We’ve been in hundreds of restaurants but the flavor that we as a team experienced that night left us speechless . Bravo and cheers to an excellent restaurant ,staff & menu! We’ll definitely be back again!

We enjoyed a wonderful feast at Elway’s. We started with a tasty mezcal old fashioned and delicious oysters. Being from New England we can be picky and these didn’t disappoint. The champagne mignonette was a nice compliment. Of course the sourdough boule was hard to resist. Highly recommend the onion soup as well. My gf was kind to share Elway’s salmon – loved the miso white butter sauce and seafood topping. I barely finished half of my rack of lamb and it was hard to stop eating. Cooked perfectly, tender and juicy. We finished with the carrot cake which was also hard to stop eating. Our server Zaira was the best. Thank you!

Tricky to find, upstairs in the Lodge, but a wonderful meal. We started with the artichokes and shrimp cocktail, had newyork Strip, and filet for main course with brussel sprouts and onion rings ( only thing we didn’t love). We finished with key lime pie and classic ding dong cake. We were off season so there was little to no one there. Overall very nice meal.

Elway’s Steakhouse absolutely blew me away. Hands down the best steak I’ve ever had. I ordered the bone-in ribeye and it will change your life. Perfectly cooked, incredible flavor, and truly unforgettable. Chef Victor is phenomenal. You can taste the care and craftsmanship in every detail, from the perfectly balanced dressings to the sauces he makes entirely in house.
The experience from start to finish was outstanding. If you’re anywhere near this place, go. It’s a 10 out of 10 without question. Highly, highly recommend.

Elway’s in Vail is an absolute gem that deserves every one of its five stars! From the moment we stepped into this upscale yet cozy steakhouse in the heart of Vail Village, the experience was flawless. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance—elegant but welcoming, with a lively bar and stunning mountain views from the patio. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, offering spot-on recommendations that elevated our meal. The star of the show was the food: the USDA prime ribeye was cooked to perfection, tender and bursting with flavor, while the lamb chop fondue—a must-try—was a delightful surprise with its rich green chile cheese dip. The Elway’s salmon, paired with a silky miso beurre blanc, was equally impressive, showcasing their knack for fresh, creative dishes beyond steak. Sides like the Thai basil Brussels sprouts added a flavorful twist, and the wine list, with over 350 selections, paired beautifully with every bite. Yes, it’s pricey, but the quality justifies every penny—this is dining done right. The staff even surprised us with a complimentary chocolate cake to celebrate our occasion, a thoughtful touch that sealed the deal. Elway’s isn’t just a meal; it’s a memorable experience that captures the essence of Colorado hospitality. We’ll be back every time we’re in Vail!

Ordered the porterhouse for 2 and requested for medium rare, one side was slightly well done which made the beef really tough, we left a couple of pieces untouched. Service staff saw it and asked for our feedback, he offered us free dessert but we were too full from the meal so we declined. He didn’t have to do that so it was a really nice gesture. Overall seasoning on the beef could be heavier, as well as a better crust. Caesar salad/ bread with garlic butter was delicious. Ambiance was really nice, perfect for a date night or casual night out with friends.
