    We were in town for work, original party size changed and, after dinner, grew even more as colleagues joined. The staff at St Elmo were incredible! Special shout out to Doug, our server, who not only provided the best experience, but stayed patient as our group count ebbed and flowed. Not to mention, the entire vibe of the restaurant (decor & all) was so cool! Food 10/10

    Our dinner was wonderful. Eric was an excellent server. He checked to see if we had time limitations, which we did, but they were not even close. He was attentive, at just the right times. It was my friends' first visit and they were wowed!! I love it and have been there multiple times. Thank you for a fabulous evening.

    I took my significant other to dinner here for her birthday, and we both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was excellent, and the service was very timely. Everything was priced at something that I would describe as “student friendly.” We both got up so I could show my partner where the restroom was. While we were gone, someone cleaned our table and took her drink that we purchased that was still about half full. However, our waitress quickly offered to make things right and she took that drink off the bill for us and gave us a discount on the entire experience for the trouble. 5/5 I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fine dining experience.
