Roy's, Chicago

The Los Angeles Times has called it "a super saucier" and the Zagat survey endorses it as a stairway to heaven! But to brush all the accolades apart, it looks like any exotic Hawaiian cuisine joint. And once you bite into a few appetizers like Shrimp on a Stick with Wasabi Cocktail Sauce or Wood Grilled Szechuan Spiced Baby Back Pork Ribs, you find the Asian/European cuisine secrets out of Chef Yamaguchi's creative bag. Try the melt-in-your-mouth meat and fish entrees like Hibachi Grilled Miso Steak and Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi with Lobster Butter Sauce coupled with a Chardonnay or the sparkling white wine. And to wind up your dinner, choose the hot chocolate soufflé, if you aren't wary of those extra pounds.
