Let's Do Brunch!

The Solarium inside the South Shore Cultural Center, home of the Smooth Jazz Sunday Brunch

One thing you can always count on with our Smooth Jazz Sunday Brunch since 1992 is that you will be dining in a one-of-a-kind setting.  From the spectacular open-air atrium at the Hyatt Regency to the magnificent Normandie Lounge at the Hilton and Towers, where they furnished the room with art deco treasures salvaged from the French ocean liner, the SS Normandie, to the 43^rd floor Edelweiss Penthouse at Swissotel, we’ve tried to make our Brunch a feast for all the senses.   

The South Shore Cultural Center

The tradition continues in 2013 at the Parrot Cage Restaurant.  Located inside the South Shore Cultural Center, our Brunch at the Parrot Cage offers diners a chance to stroll through a historic Chicago landmark.  Seating takes place in the Solarium with its floor-to-ceiling windows providing views of the lakeshore that have remained virtually unchanged and unspoiled since the building opened in 1916.

As for the menu, the Parrot Cage features a combination of tried and true Sunday morning favorites such as waffles and omelets made to order and gourmet creations prepared and served by students of the acclaimed Washburne Culinary Institute, one of the City Colleges of Chicago.  Their brunch is consistently named one of the Top Brunches in Chicago by diners at OpenTable:  Chicago Restaurants.

To further enhance your dining experience, the Smooth Jazz Sunday Brunch is proud to feature live music.  On most Sundays, the talented student musicians of the Harold Washington College Jazz Ensemble will be performing during the brunch.  On April 21, Chicago rock and now Smooth Jazz icon Jim Peterik will appear with his band Lifeforce, playing selections from their newly remastered two disc deluxe edition of Forces at Play, as heard on SmoothJazzChicago.net.

And, if you’re feeling lucky, you could be Rick O’Dell’s ongoing giveaways during each Brunch.  During each seating, Rick will be holding a drawing for CDs, concert tickets and other fun prizes.

The next Smooth Jazz Sunday Brunch at the Parrot Cage is April 21, 2013.  Make your reservations soon, because most brunches fill up quickly.  Call (773) 602-5333, or send an email to [email protected].  Seatings are at 10:45 am and 12:00 pm.

I’ll see you on the 21^st at the Parrot Cage!
