THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Pete Miller's Steakhouse Restaurant Review:

This is a pleasing North Shore steakhouse, one that captures the necessary trappings (white tablecloths, woody booths, private dining nooks) and nails quintessential starters like a wedge salad, oysters on the half shell and fried calamari on the head. Aged steaks are the meat of the menu and are on a par (when not over-cooked) with those at downtown joints. We like the fact that they can be prepared a myriad of ways, from blackened to horseradish-crusted, Stilton-topped or with a Cognac reduction. There’s a broad selection of fish and seafood, too, and the menu plays host to dishes like chicken Parmesan. Sides and desserts are large enough to share. The wine list is heavy on reds, with prices weighted in the $50-and-up range. Nightly jazz starts at 8:30 p.m. Also located at 412 N. Milwaukee Ave., Wheeling, 847-243-3700.
