 Founded by restaurateur Paul Fleming --- the original P.F. in P.F. Chang's --- and William Allen, III, this steakhouse chain distinguishes itself with top-quality meats and a notable wine program. Expect a wine list featuring numerous American boutique wines as well as renowned national and international labels, with 100 wines by the glass, and an 80-label reserve list. The USDA Prime hand-cut beef includes rib-eyes, filets and New York strips, all seared by intensely high-heat cooking, for the signature steakhouse outer crust. Decadent sides include onion rings with smoked jalapeño aïoli while a salad could mean a chilled wedge of iceberg lettuce with grape tomatoes, red onion and blue cheese dressing. Seafood, too, is well-thought-out, be it Australian lobster tails or tuna mignon with tomato-sherry vinaigrette. Finish with a familiar dessert: cheesecake, chocolate lava cake or crème brûlée. Watch for wine dinners, which happen with regularity. Another outpost is located at 960 Milwaukee Ave., Lincolnshire, 847-793-0333.
