Have you ever been to St. Elmo Steak House? It’s the oldest Indianapolis steakhouse in its original location and if you’re familiar with its national reputation, then you know why it’s been around since 1902. When I had the pleasure of dining there a couple of weeks ago, the owner came and talked to our table. He talked a lot about his staff, many of whom are career servers and waiters. You know, I see people look down on those who work in the service industry, but this is exactly what these people want to be doing and there is no place they’d rather be doing it than St. Elmo. What the owner talked about most were his staff members and he made clear how essential they are to St. Elmo’s success. The restaurant industry is hard. Consistency is critical. You can’t afford off nights. It’s because these people are so committed to what they do that the restaurant has been able to build and maintain its reputation for 122 years. Every successful business leader should be able to say the same.

I have; the shrimp cocktail is amazing, and the sauce, wow!

Absolutely, the dedication and passion of those in the service industry cannot be overstated. As Steve Jobs once said, "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." 💖 It's clear that the staff at St. Elmo Steak House embody this principle, making every dining experience there not just a meal, but a masterpiece. 🍴✨ Your experience truly highlights the heart behind St. Elmo's longstanding success. #PassionDrivenSuccess

I had the pleasure of dining there last year and was awe at the tenure of the team listed on the back of the menu. Our server had been there for over 30 years. Incredible experience!
