Not sure if Jennifer received any responses to her request for baby shower locations in Chicago. But I am desperately seeking the same thing. Ideally I’d like some place serving brunch, nice bright decor that can seat 50-60 people…any suggestions?

I'm looking for something in or around the western suburbs of Chicago, or perhaps the Naperville area. If anyone knows of an outdoor venue, please include those ideas as well...Thanks Much, Jennifer I would really love some suggestions on a few places to hold a fun and unique baby shower this summer.

If you're looking for a great place to eat in Chicago, I highly suggest going to The Oven Grinder - they have the most amazing pizza in Chicago! It's a cozy little place with a bar inside as well - but the atmosphere is great as well as the food.That's just one of our personal favorites, there are so many great restaurants in Chicago so I'm sure no matter where you go you'll enjoy it. I noticed someone mentioned The Signature Room in the John Hancock building - I second that! It's breathtakingly beautiful views will have you in awe.No matter what you do, have a blast, and let us know which restaurants you picked, we'd love to hear!Happy planning - -Jaime @ "It's A Jaime Thing" Welcome to Chicago!!!

I was just there two weeks ago. A couple places to try: Le Colonial (vietnamese fusion), OySy (casual japanese fusion rolls - although Japonais looks great!), if you can get a reservation I hear Table Fifty Two is good as well. Have fun! It's nice and hot in Chicago. Oh fun! I was just there two weeks ago.
