Sprout - Chicago

The first Chicagoan to appear on the wildly popular reality show "Top Chef," Dale Levitski is known for his soulful yet sophisticated comfort foods, bold spicing, game and braised specialties, playful reinterpretations of forgotten classics, and striking plate presentations. He has a love for sauces, so expect deep and complex flavors accenting the plate. Big on taste sensations, Levitski is a student of flavor math, a method he uses to calculate his perfect balance of taste, texture and temperature in a dish. His ala carte and tasting menus spark diner's imaginations with descriptions deconstructed down to the flavor notes and key ingredients.

Sprout's intimate setting offers upscale dining with a relax-your-shoulders vibe.
