A PERFECT 10: Before they built Prime, the Bohlsen family earned a place among Long Island restaurant royalty with Tellers Chophouse (605 Main Street, Islip 631-277-7070 www.tellerschophouse.com), a top-rated steakhouse in a former bank building with wines worthy of the bank vault they’re stored in. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the restaurant’s opening, a celebration week is underway through this Friday, August 7. Highlights include half-price bottles of wine, originally $30 to $3,000 per bottle, from the 1,000 labels of wines in the 10,000-bottle Tellers wine vault; a $75 Tellers Top Ten Tasting Menu, $100 with wine pairings; $10 unlimited tastings of a featured wine each night; and a 10th anniversary gift to all. There are also celebration events at the Gold Bar. Go to www.tellerschophouse.com for details.
