Delecee on the northside (Irving Park and Southport, NE corner two doors north) is excellent, did Mother's day there for years growing up a couple blocks away. It's a family sort of place and you have to make reservations on holiday type days (and probably every Sunday given how packed it always looks when I walk by). Other meals there are pretty good as well, parking is a pain although on a non Cubs game day you can likely find something back in the side streets NW of it. No parking back there on a Cubs night game without an LV2 sticker though.

Four Seasons
My vote for Sunday brunch is the Four Seasons in 900 N Michigan. I have been there twice now, and even though it is frightfully expensive, it is also extravagant. Both times we had excellent service and the food was hot, fresh, and tasty as well. Highlights included the desserts and the fish.

They panned Bongo Room (1470 N Milwaukee, 773.489.0690) stating they love the stuffed French toast but not enough to put up with the wait and surly service.

However, it's not the big brunch buffet that you may find at the Drake and other hotels.

I still have yet to do this !!
Back to the thread:
I recently went to a good Sunday brunch at Shaw's Crab House in Schaumburg. Not cheap but worth it for the once in awhile brunch splurge.
I've had a couple of very good breafasts recently in Chicago, so I'd like to share.
Longman & Eagle, I had duck hash with duck eggs, more please !!!

This morning sat outside as it was beautiful, they serve some good breakfast cocktails, I had a soft shell crab w/bacon breakfast sandwich. Delicious^
Mrs Sweet Willie enjoyed the strada of ham, goat cheese & spinach.

Hearty Boys is still good: have not been to HOB Brunch yet, but if it is anything close to B.B. King's in NYC, then it is great fun.
