Dining room at St. Elmo Steak House, Indianapolis, INIf you have time for just one meal in Indianapolis, make it at St. Elmo Steak House. An institution since 1902, this is where the jumbo shrimp bathed in a singeing cocktail sauce are as sought after as the Prime steaks. If the walls could talk they'd keep you spellbound with the list of dignitaries, famous and not-so-famous who have dined on filets, strip steaks, pork chops and fresh seafood. Prices are steep but entrées include a navy bean soup starter and your choice of baked, fried or whipped potatoes. And, mind you, there’s no extra charge for the surly but extremely professional servers. The impressively stocked wine cellar includes selections to suit the most discriminate diners who frequent St. Elmo’s---often. If you’re into people watching, stay alert; this is the place local and visiting dignitaries, politicians and top athletes frequent.
