If you live in the Englewood area and want a nice place to dine without going too far... ha ha... you are pretty much out of luck. However, we do have an upscale establishment tucked away on Elati at Hampden called Steakhouse 10. The place is "cozy" (read: small and tight) and dimly lit. You can have a seat at the "cozy" bar and sip expensive martinis until your table is ready. You might be wise to call ahead for a reservation.
Our waiter was friendly with a thick accent from I'm-not-sure-where as I was seated the furthest away and had a difficult time hearing him. But he was friendly and cute and hard not to like. I can't remember his name, though.
The menu has several appetizers such as shrimp, escargot and things I can't remember. We ordered Saganaki to start (flaming cheese!) and it was fantastic and served along side some warm bread. We also ordered the only bottle of Malbec on the menu and it was a good choice and went well with everything we ordered. Pete ordered the Chicken Cordon Bleu and Holly & I split the pan-seared Halibut in a basil-y sauce. It was served with rice and it was simple and delicious. The halibut was tender and the sauce added nice flavor without taking over the texture of the fish and we were both happy that we split the plate. Incidentally, they do charge $10 to split a plate but it was worth it for us after the flaming cheese and bread which could have easily been an appetizer for four or more. The meal was topped off with a complimentary shot of Oozo. Yum and O-Pa!!
So no, not one of us had steak which of course this place is known for but we were each happy with what we got. A warning to vegetarians -- there is nothing here for you -- nothing. Unless you like bread and salad and maybe some sides. The prices are high but the service is on par and you can feel swept away from the Englewood fray for any special occasion.

Rick & I have spent two special ocassions at Steakhouse 10 and agreed that reservations are key, plus a big appetite. The saganaki is our favorite. Rick has had the filet mignon both times and thought it was done perfectly. As for me--I'll have lamb! The lamb is a significant portion and seasoned perfectly. Makes me want to travel back to Englewood just to have lamb! BTW, try the bar at the top of the stairs. Trendy and fun, if a little pricey.
