    If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Everything from the top notch genuine service to the atmosphere, nostalgia in the photos/decor and quality of food was first class. This was an evening and meal that was an experienceI will remember with great warmth.

    The salad soups and appetizers were all very good. The one thing that my steak was missing was temperature. I like my steak to come out hot. This was not the case tonight. My steak came out lukewarm and undercooked. This restaurants reputation is far too good to miss in this area.

    We appreciate your feedback Tim. Food quality and execution are two of our top priorities and that includes making sure food is served hot. We will make sure your feedback is shared with our executive chef and his culinary team. But I would still like to hear me about your experience, please reach out to me, General Manager Richard Edwards so we can discuss further. Thank you again Tim Richard

    We came to eat after a game at Lucas Oil. It was very busy after the game. Doug was an amazing server and everything was great.

    Was very excited to go and highly disappointed. Steaks were overcooked ordered medium got well done no pink at all. It was so noisy you could barley talk. We went before a game and it was packed so mabey that was the cause but would not go back.

    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!
