    The food and spirits are always a delight. The service was a major disappointment, especially for a work dinner in which I was entertaining.

    Kyle was our server and he was great. Made our first experience at St Elmo very enjoyable. Got the history, a small tour, and all of our questions answered. Amazing filet, but the star of the show was the bread pudding dessert!

    Absolutely great food and service. If possible, leave a cash tip. The servers don't receive their nightly tips when you use a card and tip on it.

    Excellent food quality. Shrimp cocktail quite an experience. Loved it. Server very helpful and friendly. Perfect amount of attentiveness without being a bother. Atmosphere warm and elegant. A meal to remember. Thank you for giving us that. Plus my Dad got a free dessert for his 89th birthday. So sweet. Most professional restaurant I’ve been to in a long time. Loved the old photos on the walls.
