Cuisine: Seafood, Steakhouse, Sushi

Price: $$$

10Best Says

You probably know the name: John Elway, the legendary Broncos quarterback and now VP of football operations for Denver's NFL team. Elway has also had a highly successful career outside of football, including with the three restaurants in Denver that bear his name and that serve up some of the best steaks in the city (the 20 oz. porterhouse is on many steak lovers' lists). Elway's downtown is located in the elegant Ritz-Carlton, Denver, and it serves three meals daily, meaning guests and others can get steak at any meal of the day. Elway's other locations are in Cherry Creek and at Denver International Airport.
