St. Elmo Steak House

An Indy tradition since 1902, St. Elmo Steak House was named for the patron saint of sailors. The turn-of-the-20th-century Chicago saloon décor has changed little and you know it must be doing something very right to be around this long. Located in the heart of downtown, St. Elmo is famed for its shrimp cocktail, steak, impeccable service and wine list with the largest cellar in Indiana – about 20,000 bottles of wine. If walls could talk, St. Elmo could tell some mighty interesting tales about the well-known people who have dined here. St. Elmo's also has some divine Indiana pork chops and Amish chicken. In fact, St. Elmo's prides itself on using more than a dozen local food producers. St. Elmo was honored in 2012 by the James Beard Foundation as one of America's Classics and by Forbes as one of the world's "10 Great Classic Restaurants Well Worth Visiting."
