    They are so efficient with clearing the table we felt rushed…they actually removed one item while we were still eating it - im sure we could have said something, but we just laughed because we were just kind if picking on the onion rings at the end of the meal- but it would be nicer if they’d ask if they could take the item before they just take the items - Food was delicious and fairly reasonable

    We celebrated my daughter’s birthday. Had been wanting to visit since she moved to Indianapolis a few years ago but had never visited when there was a reservation available. We really enjoyed our meal and the service was outstanding!

    Went here for our 25th anniversary dinner. Have always heard great things and we finally got to visit. Everything was spot-on perfect! Wife, who doesn’t ordinarily eat a lot of steak had the filet and she instantly fell in love with it. Well done St. Elmo’s. We’ll be back.
