There is really nothing spcial on the menu that you cannot get for half the price elsewhere. They claim to have the best shrimp cocktail, unfortunately it is average with an above average price. The steaks were ok, I cook better steaks on my grill at home for $30 less each. The tables are so close together you can smell... more

The shrimp in the shrimp cocktail were OK size, but not that big for the price and not as big as they were in the past. The cocktail sauce was great. The meals sadly was cold and came on cold plates. We sent them back and waited 23 minutes till the new meals came and they were cold also. The... more

Great drinks, good bartenders, had an old time bar vibe to it. They should have a drink menu instead of just telling you they can make whatever you want. I have to admit that the barender really could make anything you asked for, but it would have been nice to have a list of drinks to help you out. Loved... more

A real, old-fashioned, north-american steak house. Attentive service, good beef, well aged, well-cooked and well-served. No surprises. Not haut cuisine but very good food, honestly cooked and professionally served. more

As others have pointed out, I think the steak didn't meet expectation considering the price. It was a great steak for half the price, but wasn't worth what it cost me. The shrimp cocktail on the other hand was marvelous. It completely ruined any other cocktail sauce for me. I was lucky to be seated against the wall so I... more

St. Elmo is a place that everyone should try at least once. It is an icon in the city. The shrimp cocktail is great. Steaks seemed over-priced, but that is part of eating at this celebrity restaurant. more

What a disapointment this restuarant is often rated as a top ten steak house in many airline magazines but it is my opinion that someone needs to pay another visit to St Elmo's to understand that the whole experience is far from good . It's over priced,has a limited menu and the food is nothing to write home about .... more
