Best of Metromix Indianapolis 2011Steak
Meat eaters unite! We know how picky y'all can be with your steaks. So which of these five steak restaurants in town meets your expectations -- and which goes beyond? Really, which has a steak so tender and delicious that it'll convert event the tofu-iest of vegetarians to your meat religion?
And the winner is…
St. Elmo Steak House
127 S. Illinois St.
Indianapolis, IN 46225Neighborhood: Downtown
Vintage high-end chop-house decor and atmosphere has been maintained through subsequent renovations and expansions and this historic Indy eatery. The menu is simple and classic; the bar is, too. The cocktail sauce is widely regarded the best in the city, and the steaks are nothing to sniff at, either.
Nominees
Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar
8487 Union Chapel Road, Suite 200
Indianapolis, IN 46240Neighborhood: North Indy
Fleming's makes prime beef cuts, 100 wines by the glass, and decadent desserts available in a mood that is quite refined but not at all stuffy.
Marco's Restaurant and Lounge
2380 E. 54th St.
Indianapolis, IN 46220Neighborhood: Broad Ripple
Marco's got a facelift, but it still has classic steakhouse ambiance. The most courageous omnivores will brave "Cheap Meat" Tuesday nights, but if you are looking for great food and drinks without the crowds, any other night of the week (except Sunday) will work.
Mo's A Place For Steaks
47 S. Pennsylvania St.
Indianapolis, IN 46204Neighborhood: Downtown
Hard floors and high ceilings evoke royal halls. Denizens of the nightlife forego the royal service and excellent food and enjoy the rarified air from a barside seat.
Sullivan's Steakhouse
3316 E. 86th St.
Indianapolis, IN 46240Neighborhood: North Indy
Styled after steakhouses of America's Golden Age, Sullivan's recalls an era when grace and style were currency. Dark woods and cream colors dominate, dressed with small statues and framed artwork. Stop in on Fridays between 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. for liquor tastings.
