    Yet another great experience at St. Elmo's. If you want the best steak in Indiana, come here. And when you do, try the shrimp cocktail.

    Our server Parker was on point! I was surprised that his name wasn’t on the menu list of employees? They go out of there way to list employees but don’t update it?

    Absolutely the best steakhouse in Indy to eat. Service was impeccable. Food outstanding. There’s a reason it’s been around since 1902

    Came for BIG10 Championship(even though our team lost the week before) game and ate here with my FIL & BIL, and it did not disappoint. Shrimp cocktail was awesome and the prime ribbon was one of the best I've ever had.

    St. Elmo’s never disappoints. It’s better than Ruth’s Chris.
