Dining room at Tramonto's Steak & Seafood, Wheeling, ILA modern departure from the typical steakhouse setting, this Cenitare restaurant group venture---in the sleek Westin Chicago North Shore---remains a two-story beauty, but it no longer is aligned with Rick Tramonto and Gale Gand. Belinda Chang (a former sommelier at Charlie Trotter’s) has departed, too, and the changes keep coming since its once-adjacent sibling, Osteria di Tramonto, is no more. But the gracious, if beefy, menu forges on with a Prime dry-aged steak and seafood focus. Separate of food, eye candy comes in the form of a glass-walled waterfall and a massive, temperature-controlled, 10,000-bottle wine display. Not surprisingly, this isn’t a béarnaise kind of joint (although you will find the ubiquitous sauce among toppings like bordelaise, au poivre, sliced bone marrow and seared Hudson Valley foie gras). The 12-ounce, corn-fed New York strip is a sight to behold (and a joy to eat)---nicely pink, pleasantly chewy and richly flavorful. As for à la carte sides like creamed spinach and twice-baked potatoes, there’s nary a dud. And desserts---like lemon shortcake---should not be missed. The affordable wine list brings the first-rate vino selection down to earth.
