Elway's Vail Reviews
Great location and service
Great location, great service, and the food was good. This is a good prime steak, but I have been to many that have better food.
Beautiful restaurant! Porch is amazing in the summertime.
The waiters are very attentive and knowledgeable. We got an order of the calamari... which ended up not being our favorite. That is definetly our own personal opinion. It is served with deep fried olives stuffed with blue cheese, we were unsure about

Stopped by Elway's for late-night drinks and dessert--everything was perfect. Great wine list, an amazing bourbon selection, and a killer Old Fashioned. The cheesecake and chocolate cake were the perfect nightcap. Our server Lucija was exceptio
This restaurant is always our first stop when we go to Vail
This restaurant is always our first stop when we go to Vail to ski for a week. Usually we start with the wedge salad that we share with chunks of blue cheese and bacon. A classic. For mains we get the bone in New York strip and the filet. Always cook
Way to go Lucia!
Lucia took great care of us—we had wonderful service and a fabulous meal. I REALLY appreciate that she worked with the chef to customize a meal that worked for my dietary restrictions—that is hard to find and not only was it delicious, but it mak
Located right at Vail Village.
Walking friendly if you live at hotels close by. Great food and service. The ambience is classy but "relaxed". The best dish was the ribeye. Done to perfection! Kid friendly (with coloring paper and crayons) and has kids menu for $20-25 (
Good food, terrible service
Came in on time ready for a nice dinner. Waited in the table 15-20 minutes before getting the wine and cocktail menu. Decided on the wine, the bottle took another good 10-15 minutes. At that time we had eaten the table bread (very good bread) and foo

I really feel like this is such a hidden gem and people overlook this place. I have been here 2 times and every time it is so amazing. Our server wasn't the best but we suspect she was new. The sommelier was great and suggested a bottle of wine
Not so much, anymore
Everyone used to love Elway's, a lot of folks are starting to complain about the prices, although that's pretty common in Vail. We went there with our daughters March 2, 2025. I ordered a House Barrel Aged Manhattan, the waiter said it cam

The steak was the best I have had in vail! The people were very nice and friendly but there was a little bit of plastic in my food. There was still Christmas decorations up in February. I still really recommend this place!
Not Well Done, Elways
We have been in Vail since 1986. We have been at the Wildflower and which is now Elways, on many occasions. Sadly, this last visit will be exactly that. To celebrate my birthday, our children made the reservation and paid for our diner. We were seat
Everything you eat here will be phenomenal.
We started with the oysters and wedge salad and devoured all of them. Also had the filet which we shared since we also ordered onion rings and omg they have some good onion rings. Service is amazing. They never let you go without. Very good place to
Food was subpar at best.
Fish and steak were both undercooked. Service was terrible. The table next to us was SO loud. The staff noticed how loud it was and offered to move us an entire hour later. Just terrible, please save yourself the experience and the money and eat else
Service was great! Sangria was delicious! Spinach and
Service was great! Sangria was delicious! Spinach and artichoke dip was soooo good!! Caesar salad was good and large enough to split. Steaks were excellent. Great flavor, cooked perfectly, cut like butter. The Brussel sprouts were amazing.
A wonderful evening
Came for a special dinner with three couples—wonderful salad, steak, wine, vegetables and birthday cake.great service
Didn't risk the Pittsburgh char - filet wqs good
Reviews were middle of the road so ordered a less challenging thing to mess up, the filet. Ate in the bar area. Filet was good, potatoes au gratin was meh, but service was very good.
Happy hr sad
Happy hour scaled WAY back. Super small menu with smaller portions. No more salads, artichoke dip, etc. Only thing that has gotten bigger is the prices.
We'd went for dinner, from walking in to drinks, food &
We'd went for dinner, from walking in to drinks, food & service was excellent. Sat outside on patio nice weather. I had the steak and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had, cooked perfect and tasted amazing and so tender. Next time in 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 ha
Sad Excuse for a Steakhouse
Had dinner w friends and family of 8. Positives - they got the drinks correct and they had water. Negatives- the steak. It’s a steak house, right? You’d think that if you ordered a $80 porterhouse it would be good. Wrong assumption. The steak w

Let me start by saying the service was good and it is a nice restaurant inside. The 4 of us in our party were disappointed with our meals. Just nothing to remember or rave about. Also ordered the chocolate chip cookie with icecream for dessert and
The 3.
2 star rating here is not reflective of the actual, current, food/service experience. Had dinner here with a large group and everything was excellent. The steaks, apps, and sides were all delicious. Service we experienced was friendly and on point.
Honestly not sure why this doesn't have a higher rating,
Honestly not sure why this doesn't have a higher rating, i've been coming to Elways for years now and make an effort to stop in Elways because of how damn good the steaks are.
Elway's consistently impresses me.
The ambiance, the food and service are unparalleled. The lamb chop lollipops are an absolute MUST. I almost always get the ribeye and it's prepared to perfection. This time I tried the burger and was not let down. A few mentionable items that were de
In a pinch it's ok but nothing inspiring..
Elway's - pretty much just steak here unless you like fish. In the TripAdvisor reviews several people complained about too much salt on their filets so I requested no salt just pepper and I ordered an 8oz filet. And a glass of Sangiovese $12. 6oz tha
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 an
Maybe this was just a bad night
We went for dinner wanting a steak. We were seated promptly on a Tuesday. The waitress would disappear for periods. To be honest she had at least two parties of 6 and 8 diners. We ordered a filet and a New York strip. My fiancé said the filet wa
Won’t be back
The artichoke appetizer was delicious!! But the Chilean sea bass was so fishy it was inedible. They offered to comp our dessert but we chose to just leave. The steak was over cooked . Not a great experience.
Gone Down hill the last few years.
Super expensive. Menu is more limited than during Covid. Staff is not exited about their jobs.
Elways Great place for steaks
Steak was great and service was fine . One of best steaks the seasoning was excellent . All the other accompaniments were also very good. This in spite of restaurant just re-opening for the summer a few days ago . The boys a
Indeed this was the best filet mignon steak ever!!!
We had dinner here during shoulder season, walked in without reservation and they accommodated us. Seated in the back "all windows" section with great view!! Lovely ambiance. Our server, Armando, was absolute amazing. One of the best ex

Best Steak ever and drinks are amazing love the service super friendly and everything we ate was fresh
Avoid at all costs
Everything about this experience was terrible. It started with a crab that had the cocktail sauce all over the bottom instead of on the side, which completely destroyed the flavor. Our first glass of wine was terrible, and had to be sent back. Then w
Dinner party of 4.
Earlier reservation (6 PM) after a great day of skiing. Drinks and wine were outstanding and reasonably priced. The filet was nothing short of perfect as compared to Ruth's Chris, Charley's, and other steak houses. Two members of the party had ste
So Good!
Go here every time we come to Vail!! Love the Lamb Lollipop appetizer. Fun to eat at the bar or at a table and the servers are all so great.
Excellent food and service.
We were staying at the lodge at vail and went here for dinner one night. The ambience was quiet and intimate. Will definitely dine here again if we have the chance.
Worst service ever
The lady that took our order never gave it to the chef, we were waiting for more than 1 hour and she never came along, worst service ever!! She didn’t even have the courage to came and told us the truth she sent someone else to tell us about her mi
Connect with users posting reservations for Elway's Vail
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Elway's Vail. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Elway's Vail at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Elway's Vail page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Elway's Vail to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Elway's Vail!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
