Simply the greatest steakhouse on the planet. The steaks are the best you’ll ever have (the 18oz. bone in rib eye will bring tears of joy to your eyes). The service is incredible. In particular, Mark (our server) was an absolute gentleman and took time to walk us through the menu and talk baseball with my son. The atmosphere is fantastic as well. Trust me ... St. Elmo is the patron saint of godly steaks.

My husband and I stopped by 1933 Lounge, above St Elmo Steak House for after dinner drinks. This place has a very cool vibe and I would recommend visiting, even if you just want a couple of drinks or light food bites.

The bartenders were very friendly and the drinks were tasty. It was more casual than the steakhouse itself. It has a speakeasy feel and is themed to celebrate prohibition.

While staying in Indy, we had to try the famous shrimp cocktail...it was awesome. The steak (NY strip and Filet) were delicious and the mashed potatoes were amazing (tasted like loaded baked potato, but mashed). We were stuffed from the shrimp and dinner, so we took a slice of cheesecake to go for dessert later. Everything was outstanding. Staff was great...especially Ricardo, our server. Thanks for taking great care of us!

This is a must stop every time we're in Indianapolis. My husband loves the shrimp cocktail, and the steaks are consistently cooked to perfection. I have to have the crab mac and cheese each time we're there. So delicious!! I highly recommend trying St. Elmo's.
