    Second time here and both times the steaks were disappointing. Go a prime ribeye this time. Service is excellent and nice atmosphere but food doesn’t live up to the hype.

    St. Elmo was a busy restaurant on this night. Service was very good. Pretty loud restaurant. They did honor our reservation. Shrimp appetizer was over rated for $20. Ceaser salad was good. Porterhouse was just good and not real flavorful. Baked potato was very good. Tuna was decent. Mac and crab meat was good. The butter cake was very good as was the chocolate mouse pie. Overall 4 out of 5. Place is famous so try it out!

    Very busy weekend in Indy. Steak was cold which was disappointing but we love St Elmo’s and give them a pass for such a busy Saturday night.

    The food and service was great. The only thing I didn't like was we waited about 25 minutes to get the bill. But overall a great experience.

    Richard is great! Master of his trade. I am the general manager of a steakhouse in Cincinnati, OH and from a service standpoint, you’ve found a gem in Richard.

    Extremely loud restaurant would not recommend for a date night. My husband ordered the filet and it was paper thin. The famous shrimp were good lots of horseradish but overly priced for sure. The waiter was very attentive and nice.
