    Decided to grab an early dinner before heading to show . Disappointing. Calamari was a bit chewy. My husbands filet was good however I ordered salmon (medium) which came out raw. Sent back and returned quickly with same. Ate half and gave up. The waiter offered to buy us dessert as he saw it was raw but we didn’t have time. No accommodation on our check . Won’t return.

    Came for dinner. We had a great waiter. The Steak (New York Strip) was prepared correctly to order (Medium) but was way, way overcooked on the edge/top/outside, it was hard and chunky. Broke,in pieces. Road House prepares better for half the price. The Artichoke was wonderful, perfectly prepared. The loaded side potato was huge and well dressed. But the savior was the ding dong desert. So perfect, flavors, fruit, chocolate, filling. just a WOW, and at $12 a steal. I would come back for the desert anytime. Friend had the Short Ribs, and just melted apart. Said it was delicious. I would recommend some of the other menu items, but skip the steak. Heard from other customers the same thing. The staff was very attentive, good service. The restaurant was a bit loud. The walls are not designed to absorb sound and are basically bare cement, so as the restaurant got busier, harder to talk and hear. Basically, come for the desert at night.

    The fish sandwich was amazing. It was also a real value considering restaurant prices these days. Of course, we had to order the truffle fries - the best ever. I also have to note the incredibly kind and profressional staff. We are planning to go back very soon.

    During our visit, we waited almost 15 minutes before we even got water, and a total of 45 minutes before our drinks came. Our dinner experience took over 2 hours, and not because we were texting to take our time.
    ELWAY'S DowntownResponded on May 17, 2025
