    To be honest I’m guessing there was a new cook in the kitchen. Ordered a large filet medium. It came out red or pretty medium rare. Sent it back. It STILL came back red without much change. Sent it back again and just ended up taking home. Never expected that out of an icon restaurant like St. Elmo’s. Proper temperature is kind of the basic blocking and tackling for a steak place. It really killed the first time impression of our guests.

    Server Dana read very good and knowledgeable. The two bidders one female and one male were fantastic. Food was served cold and had to send it back. Reheated steak came out over done and lobster very dry. Aspire seemed old and tasteless.

    Took clients to Sunday brunch before the Colts game. Got a bar table even though my reservation was for the dining room. The hostess accommodated my request and sat us in the bar area. We had great food, drinks and service!
