   I love a place that embraces their history. 120 years in business is something to cheer about! Greeted with a smile by every staff member, coming and going. Shrimp cocktail rises to the hype. Dry aged beef as legit as anywhere. Great atmosphere. I would never return to Indianapolis without a visit.

   We went to celebrate my son’s birthday. It was nice and charming, quiet area before it started filling up. The shrimp was memorable as always and all of our steaks were seasoned so well. Our server was on top of things and gave us personalized attention. I have never had bad service or food there. Love St. Elmo’s.

   Took over an hour to get our food, other tables received their food before us. The food was good but it took way too long, especially since we had a reservation for 9:15 p.m. and didn’t get our food until 10:30 p.m.

   The classic steak house with a professional staff and service to complete your dining experience! The shrimp cocktail with the best cocktail sauce is a great beginning. Lobster bisque is a perfect transition to a wonderful filet cooked medium plus paired with one of their delicious cabs. Great meal, great service and evening with friends. thank you!

   Atmosphere and service were top notch. The shrimp cocktail is great and the drinks were well crafted. The prime ribeye was an excellent cut, but could have benefited from some simple seasoning. The chocolate mousse pie was an excellent way to finish off the meal. An enjoyable experience overall.

   Outstanding! Our family enjoyed a nice meal here before heading to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for the Big Ten tournament. Our server was wonderful! He was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and various selections. My ribeye steak was cooked perfectly (medium) and I enjoyed a baked potato and tomato juice. The table enjoyed the shrimp cocktail to share! Spicy but a must try on the menu! They were very accommodating for my 10 year old son and were able to bring his mac and cheese without any crabmeat. The ambience adds another level of character!

   I never write bad reviews… We were celebrating a birthday and had requested a table for two in a somewhat quieter spot if possible. We were put against the wall at very small table. So small we had trouble fitting our plates once our steaks and side dishes arrived. Unfortunately they had to take our bread and salads away before we were done to make room. In addition, there were three large tables around us and we could not hear each other speak. Extremely disappointing especially since we were celebrating. My guy thought the shrimp cocktail was as okay but not as good as it has been in the past. My filet was dry and overcooked though I asked for medium. I almost sent it back but our waiter was no where to be found. Our server and the others appeared to be assisting the larger tables versus the smaller ones. My guy’s steak was okay but not worth $100. For $100 I would expect it to be excellent. And we were shocked that the side dishes were not good - the potatoes (mashed) were good and did not taste very good and the brussel sprouts were undercooked. Our drinks were also disappointing…I ordered the signature margarita and it was so bad I couldn’t drink it and I love margaritas. I then ordered a different drink but it was not much better. My guy had a few old fashioneds…first was very bitter, second and third were about 1.5 ounces without the ice ball in the glass and very bitter as well. They must have a new bartender because how could you mess up two types of basic drinks. We had not been to St. Elmo’s in years but decided it would be a nice way to celebrate a birthday. Unfortunately we were very disappointed especially after spending just under $450 for two of us. If the food, service, noise level and seating would have been better I would not issue paying $450 for a great meal.
