St. Elmo Steak House

Restaurants

It was in 1902 that founder Joe Stahr named his new restaurant after the patron saint of sailors. St. Elmo has steered a true course ever since, earning a national reputation for its exceptional food, drink and service (as evidenced by the many photos of celebrity diners that grace the establishment’s walls). As well as steaks, seafood, chicken and chops, St. Elmo offers an award-winning, 20,000-bottle wine cellar. Reservations are highly recommended, as is the restaurant’s signature shrimp cocktail–a diabolic concoction ranked by The Travel Channel as the “world’s spiciest food.” St. Elmo was honored in 2012 by the James Beard Foundation when it was recognized as one of America’s Classics.and by Forbes as one of the world’s “10 Great Classic Restaurants Well Worth Visiting.”
