John Elway's steakhouse at the base of the mountain — the valley's best prime rib, Colorado beef, and an après-ski energy that makes it the most reliably fun dinner in Lionshead.
Why It Belongs on the List
Elway's is the Colorado steakhouse institution owned by Denver Broncos legend John Elway — a reliably excellent steak and seafood operation that has taken up residence in Lionshead Village. Prime rib, Colorado-sourced beef cuts, and a boisterous après-ski energy make it the most approachable fine-casual choice in Vail. No pretension, good wine, great steak. The most enjoyable experience for a group who can't agree on cuisine.
