    We had such a lovely time. Our server, Joel took wonderful care of us! Thank you for the delicious meal. The shrimp cocktail was a must and definitely the bean soup for the app. I’m sure any steak is a good choice. I had the bone-in cowboy ribeye and it was very tasty.

    Took a group of 7th graders from Louisiana and they LOVED it. Jeff was a wonderful waiter. I was complimented by one of the staff on the way out for the way that the students conducted themselves.

    After an industry show, we decided to have dinner at St Elmo Steakhouse. It was bustling with activity but still felt spacious, as there was ample room between the tables. The history of the restaurant was truly fascinating. Our waiter did an excellent job sharing the stories behind the owners, the building, and of course, the food. I had one of the best ribeyes ever! The lobster bisque was outstanding, and the shrimp cocktail paired with the spicy horseradish sauce was delightful. I can’t wait to go back!

    We had a wonderful meal at St Elmo's. Kyle was great. My husband was late from the convention hall, and Kyle was so gracious. We really enjoyed every part of the meal, the yummy tradition, the shrimp cocktail. We savored the lobster bisque. We had a ceasar salad, ribeye, and string beans. We finished the meal with the tasty bread pudding.

    Fantastic service, incredible food, at a Midwestern icon! If you visit Indianapolis and don't stop in you will truly miss out on what a Steakhouse should be! They pride themselves on the longevity and experience of their staff and it shows! You will not be disappointed!

    First time there in years. Now I know why. Turn down the volume. Hard to talk and hear each other across the table. If you are seated in the bar area you might not be able to eat with the traffic walking by.

    We had a great time celebrating my husband's birthday on March 2nd. Our server was very professional, attentive, and friendly. The Shrimp Cocktail was a must and it was terrific. We both had the 14 oz. Ribeye - highly recommend. We will definitely return! Indianapolis classic!!
