Upscale Saturday Lunch in Chicago

[pjvent]

Hi all. I'm dining at Alinea on an upcoming Friday evening and am looking for an upscale Saturday lunch spot in the city...obviously all food types are welcome.

Frontera Grill would be another option - they do Saturday Brunch till 2pm.

Good suggestions above.

Also consider Cafe Spiaggia. Lovely Italian. Many seem to prefer it to it's more expensive big sister, Spiaggia.
If there are steak-lovers among you, Capital Grille (http://www.thecapitalgrille.com), David Burke's or Custom House.

The 3-course prix-fixe at Blackbird is a great bargain. Sepia is also a great place for lunch.

I don't think Blackbird or Sepia do lunch on Saturday.

Thank you, i got the days mixed up. Blackbird and Sepia both do not have lunch on weekends.

How about Atwood Cafe? It is an oasis in the middle of bustling State street. Or Shanghai Terrace. It is upscale Chinese that is not necessrily uniquely Chicago, but it is uniquely Peninsula.
