St. Elmo's Steak House is an absolute gem in the heart of Indianapolis, and it has become my go-to destination for an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with an ambiance that perfectly balances elegance and warmth, making it an ideal spot for any special occasion. I recently celebrated my 3-year anniversary at St. Elmo's, and it was nothing short of magical. The staff went above and beyond to make our evening special, from the personalized service to the thoughtful touches that made us feel truly valued as guests. The attention to detail is impeccable, and it's clear that the team at St. Elmo's takes great pride in creating a memorable experience for every diner. Now, let's talk about the star of the show – the lamb. I have dined at many steakhouses, but St. Elmo's lamb is in a league of its own. The lamb is cooked to perfection, tender and juicy with a flavor that is simply out of this world. Each bite is a testament to the culinary expertise of the chefs, who have mastered the art of preparing this exquisite dish. The seasoning is spot-on, enhancing the natural richness of the lamb without overpowering it. It's a dish that I find myself craving time and time again, and it's the reason I will always return to St. Elmo's. In addition to the lamb, the menu at St. Elmo's offers a wide array of delectable options, from succulent steaks to fresh seafood, ensuring that there is something for everyone. The sides and appetizers are equally impressive, with the famous shrimp cocktail being a must-try. The wine list is extensive, featuring a curated selection of wines that perfectly complement the menu. The atmosphere at St. Elmo's is both sophisticated and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a romantic dinner, a celebratory meal, or even a casual night out. The decor is classic and timeless, with rich wood accents and soft lighting that create a cozy yet upscale vibe. The service is top-notch, with attentive and know

We splurge once a year to come here and it never disappoints. It’s not super fancy so we don’t feel out of place, but it’s a very nice place for a special date night. The food and drinks are always delicious. This visit I got the filet which was *chefs kiss* as always, but the brussel sprouts were where the meal really shined. The toasted ravioli appetizer was perfect. My husband loves the shrimp cocktail, with the signature famous cocktail sauce they share with their sister restaurant St. Elmo’s. If you’ve somehow never tried this gem, do yourself a favor and go. Worth every penny.

First time eating here. Party of two. An overall very pleasant surprise. Service was fantastic and the food was outstanding. While they have a limited menu for a Mexican restaurant, everything that we ate was super, and everything that we saw go by, looked really good.  They don’t play traditional Mexican music, but opt for more pop style music, which can be a bit annoying. We did not like the layout or the numerous small 2-top tables that they have. The 2-tops are so small, there’s hardly room for your food when it arrives. Too crowded. With all that said, we would go back. PS. - the $17 margarita was quite small for the price tag, but it was tasty. 

Everything was awesome, though I just didn’t really like creamed spinach to begin with and just wasn’t a fan. Steak was pretty decent for a filet, not dried out and had a nice flavor. Mashed potatoes were good just seemed to be microwaved. Dessert was awesome and they even gave us a discount and a free shrimp cocktail because they served someone else our dinner by mistake. Not a big deal at all and we had a great time, didn’t mind the wait on our food. I would go back and try some more seafood items, the shrimp and their cocktail sauce was perfect! I would go back just because it was a nice place and we were treated very well. Thank you!

I am very pleased with my dining experience. The food quality and preparation thereof, with the exception of poultry, was outstanding. As to the poultry, it was very, very dry and I declined subsequent offerings. The beef, lamb and pork were outstanding, as were all side dishes. As to service, the wait staff was equally outstanding. Very, very attentive. As a customer, I found their initial attempt to upsell somewhat excessive. Were I ownership, however, I would have been quite pleased with their attempts and would reward them accordingly. Will I return? Certainly so.
