- DDontdoitvipSouth Carolina •21 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFun and delicious evening! We enjoyed a comfy indoor booth, and it was lively inside! The pizzas are magnificent, and the aroma of great food added to the experience. Everyone was friendly, the service was spot on, and we even added a last minute “to go” order which arrived without complication. Salads are a joy to both the eye and palate. Meatballs were a perfect pairing with my salad. Thank you!More infoDiavola$$$$• Italian• Broad Ripple / Meridian - Kessler•4.8

- DDutchstar53San Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoOur server Amy was fantastic. Friendly, funny, informative. Paced the meal perfectly. Reminded us of the old days. We sat downstairs in a smaller room…it was the best seating we’ve had in the 20+ years we’ve eaten at St Elmo’s during the Month of May. The Tito’s on the rocks were good & fairly priced, although the olives were tiny. We had by the glass Pinot Noir, very good, but shocker at $17/glass. Bean soup & tomato juice are always favorites. The tomato salad has changed. It was ok. Tomatoes seemed hard, although good flavor. We remember tomatoes/onions and lots of Gorgonzola and no or unnoticeable greens. This had a lot of greens. We wanted a “tomato” salad. The steaks were cooked perfectly, 2 12oz filets. Baked potato left something to be desired. We’ve had better at St Elmo’s & elsewhere. The biggest disappointment was the creamed spinach. Husband loves spinach, me, not so much. But I told him he has always eyed it, so this time we would order. Thought I might like it since it’s at an upscale restaurant. I took one bite and that was it. My husband took a small scoop and couldn’t even eat that. Couldn’t figure out the “cream” part. Was like a solid block of cheese. Can honestly say we’ve never had something at St Elmo’s we could not eat. Didn’t even take it home with the remaining steak, potato (we split one, take one with us) and half the dessert which was the Double Chocolate Mousse. It was amazing. Sorry we shared. Lol. The prices have increased substantially (we appreciate the price of all food rising so understand the dilemma for restaurants). We know it is a once a year special treat. But we truly walked out saying not sure if we would return next year, even though financially we can afford it.More infoSt. Elmo Steak House$$$$• Steak• Downtown Indy•4.8

Discover Indianapolis
With nearly one million people living in Indianapolis, the city is home to a large and diverse restaurant scene. Fine dining is prominent in the city, but you can also find a good number of affordable places to eat. Some establishments have been in operation for many years and still offer great food and service. Visit one of the tiny family-owned diners for the excellent corned beef hash or cheeseburgers. In the downtown area, you can get almost any type of cuisine, including Hawaiian poke and Spanish tapas. Broad Ripple Village to the north is even trendier than the central hub, and it gives you international options like Thai and Mediterranean fare. If you're by the Speedway, then find a spot where you can try some chipotle chicken tacos or Memphis-style barbecue.
