St Elmo's is one of the best steak places in downtown INDY! The price is high and most things are extra, but you defiantly get what you pay for and if you love good food be ready for your taste buds to explode! For my wife and I this is a special occasion place for us and last night was our 41st anniversary! Shrimp Cocktail was fabulous and my wife had the 6oz Filet with a baked potato and bean soup and loved it! I had the Lamb and it was cooked to perfection with a baked potato and lobster bisque. The soup had chunks of lobster actually in it. We closed with Creme brulee and a fresh cup of coffee! The only complaint I have is they used to have a 7-layer chocolate cake that was to die for. It came out of Dallas Texas and they no longer carry it. That was a big disappointment for me as I love it! The do have a carrot cake that is excellent also. My only advice to first timers is don't overload the shrimp with cocktail sauce on your first bite. Try a little and then dive right in to it! We love going here we just don't often. Enjoy all and the parking is good on most nights!

Ok I’ve been to many steakhouses. This one has no appetizers except the $17 shrimp cocktail which the server will tell you comes w 4 shrimp and insanely hot sauce. The quote of the night was “this doesn’t have a taste…except pain” because it’s so hot. I will say The steak was cooked to perfection. I’ll give them that. But we were in the basement. No atmosphere. And we had one glass of wine w three people. Bill was $400 w 20% tip. No appetizers other than the shrimp of death. Not worth the nostalgia of coming to a well known historical Indy restaurant. Go to Ruth Chris.

Took the wife for her bday dinner and everything from the moment we walked in the door the service was on point. Jason our waiter was attentive to our table but not overly attentive to the point it was bothersome. The food was delicious as always. Never disappointed when I dine here.

The experience and the food were outstanding. Caution is necessary if you choose the shrimp cocktail - while excellent, the horseraddish sauce is over the top and there wasn't a dry eye at our table!

Best steaks we’ve ever had! The filet mignon is outstanding and the recommendations for how to have it cooked to order was perfection. Scott was our waiter this time and he was great! This was only our 2nd time eating here and it’s quickly become our all time favorite place for steak. The number of years these guys have worked here is pretty incredible! 20+ years for Scott. I’m sure they get paid very well because it is one of the most expensive restaurants I’ve ever eaten at and their tips have to be insanely high. We already can’t wait to save up some money and come back.
