North Pond - Chicago (IL)

5 /5 Ivan Orekhov: We had the 5-course chef’s tasting dinner, and it was absolutely incredible! Every single dish was perfectly prepared, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. We also chose the wine pairing option, and the chef’s selections complemented each course flawlessly — the combinations were simply outstanding. The atmosphere is just as impressive as the food. Being located right in the park adds a cozy and exclusive touch, and the wooden interior design makes the setting warm and elegant. Many thanks to the chef and the entire team for such an unforgettable dining experience. Without a doubt, one of the best culinary evenings we’ve ever had!

5 /5 Nana Sang: As a family of three, we are grateful to try all the nine dishes in the brunch menu. The lobster toast appetizers is exquisite and flavorful. The beef and fish main course was heavenly delicious. The churro dessert with galeto is rich in coffee scent. If you want my suggestion, the lamb is a little bland in flavor. The cheese cake is a little bit too rich in cheese flavor so I cant taste much the berry scent. The texture of the peach dessert can be improved. But all in all, the value of this brunch is definitely exceeding the cost. Highly recommend it.

5 /5 Sarah Brady: My fiancé and I dont often go to restaurants of this caliber. We had cheered on executive chef Cesar Murillo while watching Top Chef and decided that we wanted to treat ourselves to a fancy night out. From the setting, the service, the food; we were treated to an excellent experience. We loved every course and were talking about our dinner for days afterwards. We are excited to come back for a Sunday brunch. I cant recommend North Pond enough, it was an exceptional dining experience.

5 /5 Meghan Schott: I take my mom to a lot fancy restaurants. This is by far her favorite. I would recommend this place for the variety and fusion of food. If has a twist that is delicious. Also compared to similar restaurants it is quite affordable. Would go again if ever in Chicago. However would like to try their brunch.

5 /5 Madeleine Dubelko: Excellent experience from start to finish! It can be difficult for me to find ways to celebrate my husbands birthday, as he doesnt want all the fuss. But North Pond pays attention to your reservation notes! And makes your occasion special in the best way possible. We had the Sunday brunch, and it was amazing! Portion sizes are great, but not too much. And the kitchen plays with unexpected flavors and textures that are delightful. The staff are top notch! No detail was missed. Our waiter, Peter, was happy to answer our questions and provide reccomendations. That combined with the beautiful architecture and backdrop of Lincoln park make North Park an unforgettable experience. We will be back!
