   They were very accommodating to us with the multiple last minute changes. We were lucky to have one of the longest standing servers serve us last night. Shrimp Cocktail was amazing.

   Our server George was absolutely fantastic. Super friendly, super attentive, super helpful. Food was great. Of course pricey, but expected for a steak house. My steak was a little rare for my taste but the issue was quickly and happily remedied. Thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance and experience!

   First time eating here in probably 15 years. It was very good but not as good as I remember. The shrimp cocktail is legit but the shrimp seemed smaller. The prime aged ribeye was very good but at$85, probably not worth the extra $30 compared to the standard ribeye. Service was impeccable.

   Prices are very high— we knew that going in. Presentation of food, especially signature shrimp cocktail, was poor. Restaurant is VERY NOISY. Restaurant could not fully accommodate gluten free dining. Given the price point of this restaurant it is disappointing to say the least that at a minimum GF bread is not available. I would not recommend St Elmo. One can find luxury steak house dining at other places for better value. In short, the high prices are not worth it.

    Was so excited to try this place. Prime rib was so tasteless I was unable to eat. Sides were ok. Drinks too strong could not drink it either. Salad and soup were good. Not worth the 2 hr drive or the 300$

    The staff were very attentive and were excellent over all. Most of the food was excellent, my cut of steak however was not up to par. While the taste was excellent, a large percentage of the aged steak was inedible due bad marbling and large amounts of grissel.

    St Elmo lives up to the hype. Steaks that need no seasoning, delicious food overall, attentive service, it’s got its reputation for a reason. A must for anyone visiting Indianapolis!

    Overall the experience was good; however I was surprised the mashed potatoes were a little cool for our tastes and the cocktails were watered down. Other than that it was good. For what we spent I would expect them to nail everything, they didn't.

    Service was excellent. I had the dry aged ribeye that could have been one of the best steak I’ve ever had, if it was seasoned at all. It was tender but bland. However, the butter cake was amazing. The tables were small and close to together and the noise level was pretty high.

    I wanted to provide my honest feedback. My husband and I were so excited to dine here. We had looked up St. Elmo's prior to moving here back when we lived in Austin and knew we wanted to come here for our anniversary. We arrived evening for our 6:45 pm reservation and we were caught off guard by how loud it was inside. For an upscale restaurant, the noise was the first turn off. We were seated and they brought out the rolls, which were the best thing we had the entire evening. We ordered the shrimp cocktail, because we knew we had to, and we didn't like it. No big deal, we just wanted to try it. We each ordered the flat iron steak well done, Oscar style, with mashed potatoes and lobster bisque. The soup was good. Then, the steaks arrived. It was disappointing to receive a small amount of crab and four spears of asparagus for an extra $21 (I believe it was). That aside the amount of mashed potatoes served with the steak was insane. I then tried the steak and we both found them to be dry. Now, I know your argument will be that the steaks were well done, but that shouldn't be a problem. We ate at one of the finest steakhouses in Austin, Texas, ordered our steaks well done, and they were cooked to perfection and so juicy. Besides that the steak, I found to be flavorless. Moving onto the check, we were disappointed by the food, but then annoyed when the check arrived. At no point in the ordering process did our server say the lobster bisque was an extra charge of almost $9 a bowl. That soup was in no way worth that. When we ordered, he said we have the navy bean soup, the tomato juice, or we also have lobster bisque. If it was an extra charge, like it was, that should have been addressed. We went out for an expensive dinner, yes, but that does not mean we wanted to spend almost $20 on soup that we did not even want. We thought it just came with the steak. Our server did comp the shrimp because he knew we didn't like it, so we decided to not say anything more.

The steaks are amazing. We were treated to a free crème brûlée for our anniversary. We couldn’t have had a better time!

    First visit since the pandemic, and it’s still the wonderful St. Elmo’s I remember… top-notch service, food, and even pace of the dinner itself! However, it appears inflation has now hit them as the tab was quite a bit more than pre-pandemic times… but that won’t stop me from going back for my once-a-year visit with old friends. :)

    I've wanted to try the shrimp cocktails for years. Finally! Oh man, it's HOT!!! But oh so good. The shrimp were large and very chilled. The cocktail sauce is full of horseradish so tread carefully. It was Sunday so I had one of their specials: Shrimp cocktail, bean soup, filet mignon with mashed potatoes. Everything was perfect. Sat in one of the dining rooms but after viewing the bar on my way in and out, the next time I want to sit at the bar to eat. Well worth it.
