    BEST restaurant in Indianapolis. Visiting this area often, I've dined in most of the restaurants, but my absolute favorite is St. Elmo. Outstanding kitchen (legendary beef!), everything is very carefully sourced and painstakingly prepared from outstanding recipes. With many visits, it's a privilege to say that every experience has been an outstanding one, and every server is superb This time, "Sydney" assisted us with the exemplary professionalism and warmth that we have come to expect from St. Elmo. Even if you have only one opportunity for a meal, while you're in town, GO THERE. If you have two opportunities, go there TWICE!

    Wonderful food and delightful service. The shrimp cocktail is well overpriced for 4 shrimp...the seafood pasta was a bargain, as was the flatiron steak...and both were delicious...

    Jessica was our server, and she was amazing! Very knowledgeable about food, wine, and cocktails. She gave great recommendations. The lobster bisque was so good that I had to force myself to eat it slowly.
