The Restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Denver

"Elway's restaurant ($$$)—one of three outposts of the original in Cherry Creek—serves superb steaks and seafood"

"It's also close to the hip RiNo (River North), a neighborhood where many of the hottest new restaurants, bars and breweries have popped up"

"Sports are something of a fixation here, with steak and seafood restaurant Elway's named for Denver Bronco quarterback and NFL Hall of Fame Inductee John Elway – the venue even puts on special brunches before any home Broncos game"

"The lounge adjoining the restaurant provides a light menu, but in spite of complaints of limited dining options, the hotel's moderate size doesn't warrant added facilities"

"The in-house Elway's restaurant—named for the famous Broncos quarterback—is an easy option for hand-cut aged prime steaks, happy hour, and cocktails, and the property even has two Tesla car charging stations"
