Dont bother to try Ellyngtons! In what I can only imagine is some idiots idea of saving money, Ellyngtonsgot ris od their chef of 4 years and hired a kid to try and fill his shoes. I have been eating at that restaurant for the last 6 years, usually 4x per week. The food went from ok to seriously amazing when he came on. I would contemplate my lunch with great excitement each day as I would prepare to walk over. The specials were usually my choice as they were always without disappointment. The last few weeks I have not had ONE good lunch, not one. At first I thought the chef had to be on vacation but when I asked about him last Thursday, I found out he was the victim or budget cuts!!!! Unbelievable! He was the best thing going at the Brown Palace (if you have tried any of their other restaurants you will know what I mean) Their loss for sure! If anyone hears where he has gone, his name is Chef Curtis Lincoln please post it or email me. He has a pretty strong following within my firm alone, I have heard other guests asking about him so it is well worth the post. Elways is a little farther for me but at least I know the food will be good. Ellyngtons has become mediocre at best, but even that is a gamble.
Pros: location downtown
Cons: lost their chef, food is awful
