    We had a fabulous meal last night. Made very special by our incredible waiter, Tommy. Probably the best service we have ever had at a restaurant. We will go back for sure and hopefully have the same wonderful Tommy!

    The food is always very good at Elway’s. This time the only thing that was wrong was the temp on our steaks. My medium rare was rare, and my wife’s medium well was well. It wouldn’t be as much of an issue to us if it weren’t the main course of the meal.

    Three out of four in our party would have given five stars. Sadly, my steak was overcooked Sinai can’t hoping the parade. However, everything else was great!

    Good lunch this afternoon. Pleasant atmosphere located within the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Phenomenal wine selection by the glass. I had Elway’s own production. Excellent! I started with a side Caesar salad and then the filet Mignon with truffle French fries. Good choices all around. Service was excellent, professional, attentive, and friendly.

    My steak (6oz filet) was very good, cooked to order, nice sear, good flavor. Was it worth $60??? Meh. The caesar salad was very anchovy heavy, it was all I could taste. I would have been happy with half the size at half the price. It was huge. I also ordered the Thai basil Brussel Sprouts as a side. They were decent, but had this overpowering tangy flavor (maybe apple cider vinegar), and too many tough stems, they could have been trimmed up a bit more than they were. Overall a decent meal, but not sure it was a $270 meal (for the two of us) and we didn't even order a bottle of wine. Our server, Scott, I believe, was excellent and the service was top notch.

    We enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Elways. Our waiter was great. The main issue was It was very loud and my husband and I could hardly hear eachother, & our waiter had a hard time hearing us too. We were seated very close to other tables so could hear all their conversations going on. There were plenty of other available tables further away, so not sure why we were seated so close to others. Food was excellent. Although a bit overpriced. The salmon came out all by itself- it should have included a side veggie with it or something on that large plate. Other than those things, everything was nice. We appreciated our dessert being comped because of our anniversary.

    Food was not good. The lobster tail and 1/2 chicken tasted like they were frozen and not thawed well. The tuna tartare had little taste. The guacamole was filled with garlic. The wedge salad was ok but what is with the 2 large slices of bacon? Not a good presentation. The service was terrible. It took 45 minutes to get our appetizer and the restaurant was not full. We had to ask for them to clear our table between courses, otherwise all the plates would have remained on the table. The server wore black rubber gloves. The same gloves as the housekeeping staff wears. Even though I am a Miami Dolphins fans, I was looking forward to dining at Elways. Very disappointing. Also not good for those of us staying at the Ritz and looking for a good in house dining experience after hours.

    Beautiful restaurant, and great service. However, $80 for an average steak is outrageous. Food was not worth the price at all.
