- ★★★★★12 months agoOur visits to North Pond have been nothing short of phenomenal every single time. From the warm & personal hospitality, the thoughtful touches like personalized congratulatory notes on the menus, and the meticulously prepared dishes made with from local & seasonal ingredients, every detail feels special. Our recent experience was no exception. Our server, Charmian, was incredibly warm and attentive, making us feel right at home. The meal was filled with delightful surprises, such as the house roll with beet butter, a flavorful duck wrap, and comforting eggnog. The main courses were equally stunning: the scallop tamale, the pork belly with coffee crumble (beautifully presented), and the sablefish all showcased incredible thought in both design and flavor. Every dish reflected a deep appreciation for the seasonality of ingredients, which added to the charm. North Pond remains one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago and deserves endless praise. Its cozy ambiance, nestled beside the serene North Pond in Lincoln Park, makes every visit feel truly special. I can’t wait to return again and again to experience their ever-changing, whimsical seasonal menus.
- ★★★★★8 months agoIt was an amazing night for us. Thank you for everything. When we told them that we do not consume alcohol after the champagne they brought us, they immediately brought us apple cider soda (such a thoughtful move
- ★★★★★about 1 year agoWe had an amazing anniversary dinner at North Pond. We ate outside, in a quiet garden with a view of the city reflected in the water. The food and service were outstanding! They even personalized our menu and dessert plate. We loved our waitress and all the other waiters. It was a very special experience that will go down in our list of great restaurant memories.
- ★★★★★about 1 year agoWent here for my friends birthday and we had such a special experience!! The staff were incredibly welcoming, thoughtful, and friendly. We ordered different things for the most part. Favorite dishes from the current menu include the crab and corn starter, the pork dish in the second course, and the chicken main. Dessert was extraordinary as well! The cocktails are thoughtful and well made, the wine list offered lots of great options. I would absolutely return for another special occasion.
- ★★★★★10 months agoThis was my first meal out with my wife as parents. We wanted to have a nice meal for the special occasion after Valentines Day. Walking in felt so warm and welcoming. The music was French Riviera and homey jazz. The canapés came out one by one. Each dish had a really unique element of flavor. The menu listed all the farmers the chefs used and it also listed the kitchen team. The whole rest of the meal was incredible. Top dishes were the tuna tostada and wagyu beef. There was a little emergency at home and the team expedited our main course and desserts to go. A true desire to meet the customer where they were at. Would recommend to everyone! Thank you for a wonderful meal and unforgettable experience.
