Steak was good...but not great...Shrimp cocktail is AWESOME! Their cocktail sauce is soooo good. I heard they grate fresh horseradish, which gives it a strong kick.

I tried this place three years ago when I was in Indy. The steak was ok but the service was awful. Maybe because I was young and dining by myself. My co-worker and I went there this week and the service was...

The restaurant's decor looks like it would stand out whether it is the 1950's, 2000's, or 2050's. Its timeless. The food is not worth the price of admission(excepting the Shrimp Coctail). Don't get me wrong-...

This place is living on a long dead reputation. The food is average & the service is abominable. If I want to be treated that rudely, I'll visit my ex-wife.

Aside from the shrimp cocktail I have found St. Elmo's to be very disapointing. My food was average and the price was way above average.

I can make a much better steak for much less money. St. Elmo's steaks lack seasoning and they offer very few side dishes. I was quite disappointed.

St elmo's is a nice place to impress friends with all the famous pictures and great shrimp cocktail. However the steaks are not as good as other places in the metro area.
