Caliterra, in the Wyndham Hotel, used to do a dim sum brunch that was really cool: they’d have carts full of brunch items and dishes off of the lunch/dinner menu and you’d signal for service as you would at a chinese restaurant. I’m not sure if it’s still there since they had some personnel changes…

have also heard that cite [atop the lakepoint towers]is good also has spectacular veiw overlooking navy pier.they have brunch on sunday!what about the "gospell" brunch at house of blues at bertrand goldberg’s famous marina city on the chicago river? i hear it,s fun!

Those are all good suggestions. May I add the Signature Room at the top of the John Hancock Center (95th floor) for brunch with a view.

the four seasons and the ritz-carlton both come to mind and are beautifully presented with several "stations" to wow your culinary senses bon appetite!

Here’s a brand-spankin’-new review of Chicago’s best restaurants serving brunch:

Although not listed on the aforementioned link, and as I’ve previously recommended on this site, I could personally attest for the merits of the restaurant North Pond (see: http://centerstage.net/restaurants/north-pond.html) — housed in a former warming hut on one of Chicago’s ponds used in the winter for skating. A true arts & crafts building with exquisite food!
