North Pond

“The service was top notch and the food was so unique and delicious!”

Eric Ringquist★★★★★

I celebrated my birthday at North Pond last night. I have had this restaurant on my bucket list for quite some time, so I had high expectations, and it certainly did not disappoint. First, the location is sublime. Beautiful, magical views of the city overlooking the restored shoreline of North Pond in Lincoln Park is hard to beat. Second, service from Jake and the rest of the staff was incredibly professional, yet sincerely warm and laid-back…a tough combo to achieve! Even the music playing was fun and not stuffy and added greatly to the vibe that they achieved. Third, the food. Everyt

Been wanting to go here since 8 saq the reviews for the view and food. View is good, best outdoors though the rai discouraged it. Inside there is a warm nostalgia from the Chicago of yesteryear. The boozy lemonade were fun. Service was good as they printed the lines for my dad's birthday but nothing else to make his occasion special. Portions are small, entrees were done well but not amazing. I do like the gazpacho but the scallop and grits were salty. Bread service was tasty but also small. Overall it was good to visit but I can understand why they lost the Michelin star.

We took my mom for a belated Mother’s Day brunch. The staff were so thoughtful and welcoming. My mom was very happy and impressed. I appreciated that they were accommodating to my mom’s dietary restrictions though I knew it might’ve been too much of an ask. Everyone made the experience wonderful - and of course last but not least the food was so delicious! North Pond is an absolute must for a special occasion or if you just want to enjoy well executed food and service. Highly recommended.

My fiancé and I had an amazing experience here! I reached out months ago to plan my proposal and they went above and beyond for us! Customs menus that they let us take home as a memento, extra desert with custom writing. Plus the food and service in general were top tier! Great place to have a special date night or celebrate a special occasion.
