Amazing service! Food was excellent!
Will definitely be back.
Overall a good experience. I expected a little more ambiance for such a high end restaurant. There were several large parties seated next to us and were very loud. While it didn't ruin the evening, we didn't take time to enjoy the evening as we wanted. The food was excellent. We had the shrimp cocktail and all ordered filet's. Steaks were all prepared exactly has ordered. We also shared the chocolate cheesecake for dessert.
Would certainly recommend, but would request a quieter section if we go back.
Our waiter was awesome!!! Extra kudos to him!! Always a good time at St. Elmos!
We love visiting St. Elmo once or twice a year, especially when they offer the Devour Indy menu and it's a little more affordable. The service and food are always impeccable. The shrimp cocktail is my favorite. The steak has a great crust on it, but is so soft like butter. Best steak in town, hands down.
It was a great atmosphere for an anniversary and great service. From when we walked in to when we left.
Fantastic as always...the food, the service and the Tony Hulman Room!
They are always great! Great service from all the staff. They got us in quickly(the line was long because our reservation was at open, but they got the line inside of the restaurant safely and fast) and to our table in no time. The food is always amazing and we came in on the last day of a promotion Indy Devour menu without realizing and the food was still top-notch as the rest of the menu items.
Sean our server was great! Made awesome recommendations. was witty and knowledgeable.
Service was outstanding. Next time i’ll order a steak because the stuffed shrimp was just ok- it was cold when it came out and they put a parmesan linguini with it, which didn’t make sense to me. Dessert was outstanding though
Shawn helped us and it was our first time there. He was pleasant and made the experience that much better for us. Thanks Shawn!
Food was wonderful, our server Jodi was fabulous, ambiance very comfortable! We'll be back
Waiter wasn't very talkative. Overall, the food was good, but not worth the price. Hostesses were nice.
Old school place. Honestly, can not get much better
We love St Elmos. This time we sat in a room upstairs we have never been in before so that was great! Service was impeccable. But, we ordered a 45 day aged ribeye and it tasted and looked more like a New York strip. No marbeling. It was good but not the ribeye we were hoping for. Still an amazing 10 year anniversary night.
It was my birthday dinner and wow what a great experience. The service was fabulous and all staff interaction was great. Friendly and attentive. The steak, spinach salad and lobster Mac and cheese outstanding!
We love going to this restaurant. We usually sit upstairs in the bar area. The shrimp cocktail and the Mac-n-cheese are a must!!!!
I enjoy this place everytime I come! We were celebrating a friend's 50th birthday and this was the perfect spot! Thank you St. Elmo.
Service was exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and highly engaged. The only thing I would bring up is the price point. I don’t mind paying if the food represents the quality. My ribeye was good... but was it worth the cost, I’m not sure as I’ve had better for a lower cost. Other than that, great experience.
Such an amazing environment with the best steak I’ve ever had! It was worth every penny.
St. Elmo's is a legendary restaurant for a reason. The lively atomosphere and the friendly service makes people feel comfortable in a high-end steak restaurant. Some other similarly priced restaurants have an atomosphere where people are almost afraid to laugh. The waiter was excellent and knowledgable and it was a pleasure to show off Indy a little bit to customers through St Elmo's.
Great service from Joel and wonderful food!!!
Great wait staff. Always great food at St. Elmo’s.
We choose St. Elmos as the last meal before my husband’s throat surgery, hoping to pick the best meal I could think of. It did not disappoint! It was a whole dining experience. The waiter, Andy, was a wealth of knowledge and an interesting person. The food was incredible! It was a meal and evening to remember!
Outstanding. My favorite place to go. Fantastic service from Phillip. Great food. Loved the fact that they spread us out. I also like the fact that over the years we’ve eaten in different areas of the restaurant! Amazing place!
As it has been for years, the good and service were outstanding! This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been lucky enough to visit multiple times over the years. We live in Chicago and we drive to Indianapolis to eat there. The steaks are from their own cattle and the shrimp cocktail is the best you’ve ever had. Do not miss a chance to have dinner at St Elmo’s.
Excellent service that made our Anniversary special! Food is top notch.
Had high hopes as a first time patron. Ordered a filet mignon cooked medium. It was suggested by our server we get medium well so based on his recommendation we did. He never mention they butterfly the filet which was disappointing and ended up making the filet overcooked for all 4 in my party. The food was also close to cold with a skin formed on the hollandaise sauce. I honestly expected much more
I was misled about seating our party together. Had they been frank from the beginning I would not have been upset but I feel like they avoided telling me that if my party was more than 4 people we would not be together and possibly not even in the same room. They seated us in 2 different rooms when there was a table available right next to our party. They eventually moved us but should have put us there from the beginning. Covid sucks!
Highly recommended , the food and service is nothing less than
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!
The food, atmosphere, service were all excellent. I would probably rate this 5's across all categories, but I do not dine at restaurants at this level, nor have steak very frequently, so to give it a 5 on value, with the total price at the restaurant considered, is difficult. I have little to compare to it in all my dining experience.
We had a wonderful meal in a small room upstairs near the 1933 Lounge.
Great place with so much history. Really enjoyed learning about the history of the restaurant and it’s owners and patrons.
Everyone always says the steaks are amazing and they are! But I just loved their wedge salad! I want to go back already!
The food was spectacular, as always. Our server was fantastic. It was a great early dinner.
Excellent food and atmosphere and the service was superb
As usual, St. Elmo delivered a great experience!
$40 devour menu was excellent. Added a side of king crab Mac n cheese, which is a must. Finished with a chocolate martini. Overall the food was phenomenal and the service was perfect. Will be going here again.
This place never fails. Our waiter, Steve Allen, is so attentive and his suggestion for the Spinelis was the best steak I have ever had.
An incredible meal all around.
Well done St Elmo’s.
Excellent service and I had the best steak I've ever had. St. Elmos is truly an icon when it comes to resteraunts.
One of our steaks came out decently raw, rest of the meal was good and service was great.
