St. Elmo's is absolutely the most consistent restaurant I have had the pleasure of frequenting over the past 20 years. I occasionally fly from Denver to eat here and stay at the Le Merdien next door. Great wine list, the new Barolo on the list is awesome. A pro operation the whole way.

Decided to try St. Elmo’s for first time. Bartenders were friendly and accommodating. My old fashioned was perfect. Our waiter was very professional and friendly. The food came out quickly and was dry good, but not great. I had the famous and SPICY shrimp cocktail and it brought tears to my eyes, but good and fresh. Overall, there are much better steak houses, but St. Elmo’s is a historical icon in Indianapolis founded in 1902.

1st time to St Elmos. Was very excited. Went during Devour Downtown. Read the information on how St Elmo’s addresses this occasion because I felt totally unprepared when I got the bill. Everything is charged separately. Just be aware. Service was amazing. Food was amazing. Ambience was amazing.
