    5 Stars - Unforgettable Anniversary Experience at Elway's Downtown Denver! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Elway’s in Downtown Denver, and it was an experience we will never forget! We chose to sit in the lounge, which had a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe—perfect for an intimate celebration. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism, but it was Chris, the hostess, who truly made our evening unforgettable. Chris’s hospitality and knowledge were exceptional. She greeted us with a genuine smile and made us feel like valued guests from the very start. Throughout the evening, she checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and offered thoughtful recommendations that made our meal even more special. Her suggestion of the Chilean Sea Bass was spot on—it was tender, flaky, and full of flavor, truly one of the best dishes we’ve ever had. While our server, Stacie, was attentive and efficient, it was Chris’s expertise and personal care that truly elevated our experience. She made sure that every detail of our anniversary celebration was perfect, offering a level of service that felt both professional and personal. Whether it was offering wine pairing to her amazing cocktail suggestions, or making us feel like we were the most important people in the room, Chris’s warm, thoughtful hospitality was a true highlight of the evening. If you’re looking for a special place to celebrate or just want to enjoy an incredible meal with outstanding service, Elway’s is the place to go. And if you're fortunate enough to be greeted and cared for by Chris, you’re in for an experience that goes above and beyond expectations. We can’t wait to return for another unforgettable evening!

    My wife and I dined here for both dinner and then brunch the next day. Both were great. I had the diver scallops and they were superb, maybe in the top 3 I’ve had. The Burratta appetizer was plenty for 2 and very good. For brunch I had the chicken skillet. Very flavorful.
