    One of the better dining experiences I’ve had recently. Melissa was incredibly sweet, friendly, and knowledgeable. We loved the way she delivered the drink menu and noted that it also included mocktails. She was fabulous with all the questions I asked about ingredients and overall just so kind. Shrimp cocktail was 11/10. So happy we came based on tons of recommendations!!

    Fabulous dinner and drinks...starting with St. Elmo's famous shrimp cocktail...and on to the tuna and filet mignon entries. Our server Corey had to be the most professional, friendly, and knowledgeable server in memory. Highly recommend!

    In our reservation we mentioned that it was our anniversary. The staff at St Elmo’s seated us near the wine cellar in a nice, quiet, great vibe area of the restaurant away from larger tables and noise. It was great. Our service was fantastic. Food was awesome. Highly recommend if you haven’t been go to St Elmo’s. You will not be disappointed!
