Have been here several times for both brunch and dinner. Dishes are good portions they will leave you full unlike other tasting menus.
Dishes are also very inventive and beautifully plated.
Gorgeous views and cozy interior.

My fiancé and I don’t 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 can’t recommend North Pond enough, it was an exceptional dining experience.

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!

From the moment the host ran out to offer to take a picture of us to our smiley server to the take home jam and anniversary dessert plate, this was an amazing experience.
There are lots of restaurants in Chicago with amazing food.. and this place is certainly amazing, but it’s been a long while since I’ve experienced such exceptional service.
Also the watermelon that tastes like sashimi is so unique… would love to eat 10 more of these!

Excellent experience from start to finish! It can be difficult for me to find ways to celebrate my husband’s birthday, as he doesn’t 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!

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.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had—hands down!
Came here for Sunday brunch and was blown away. The setting is absolutely beautiful, nestled right by the pond, and the ambiance was made even better by a playlist of 80s alternative and Top 40 hits (totally unexpected, but I loved it!).
The service was flawless—friendly, attentive, and genuine. I had the pork belly special, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, followed by the strawberry Swiss roll for dessert. Both were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. They also had fresh, house-made lemonade served as cocktails with a variety of options—mine was with chartreuse, and it was divine.
Highly recommend this spot for a celebratory brunch or a splurge-worthy meal. Can’t wait to come back!

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 can’t 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.

**North Pond – A Culinary Love Letter to Chicago’s Seasonal Bounty**
As long-time *Top Chef* devotees, we were admittedly heartbroken to see **Chef César** eliminated — but that sentiment quickly turned to joy when we spotted him in person at **North Pond**. Gracious and warm, he took the time to step out and greet us, which was not only a delight but a true testament to the welcoming spirit of this gem tucked into Lincoln Park.
Brunch here is nothing short of a masterclass in seasonal, thoughtful cooking. We began with the **Tomato Gazpacho**, delicately accented by **Busan crab leg** and topped with an ethereal **marigold tuile** — a refreshing and sophisticated opener that struck the perfect balance between earth and sea. The **Grilled Little Gem Wedge** followed, elevated by **lamb lardons**, crispy **fried green tomatoes**, and a velvety **Green Goddess dressing** — a classic reinvented with flair.
For our mains, the **Local Striploin** was impeccably cooked, paired with buttery **fingerling confit**, a whisper of **chipotle aioli**, and crowned by a vibrant **sunny-side-up egg** — a dish that married boldness with refinement. The **Braised Pork Belly** over **Janie’s Mill Bloody Butcher grits** with a **strawberry chili glaze** was the perfect contrast: smoky, rich, sweet, and subtly spiced — an absolute standout in both concept and execution.
Desserts were equally triumphant. The **Paris Brest**, with its airy **vanilla pâte à choux**, floral **lavender mousse**, crisp **chocolate craquelin**, and **blistered huckleberries**, was elegant and nuanced, while the **Brown Butter Financier**, paired with **cherry sorbet**, **Marcona almonds**, and a silken **chocolate ganache**, was decadence redefined.
Our **Passionfruit Mimosa** and **Bloody Mary** were flawlessly balanced — bright, bold, and the perfect complement to the meal.
And then there’s the **setting**: nestled beside the lake with panoramic views of Lincoln Park’s lush greenery, North Pond’s location feels like a serene escape from the city’s bustle. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers so consistently on both plate and place.
In short: North Pond isn’t just a meal — it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, hospitality, and nature’s best offerings. A true Chicago treasure.

We visited North Pond in Lincoln Park to celebrate a birthday after becoming big fans of Chef César Murillo on this season of Top Chef—and the experience far exceeded our expectations.
From start to finish, the service was exceptional: warm, attentive, and professional. The team even created custom menus for our table, which made the celebration feel extra special.
The food was outstanding. Highlights included the Summer Panzanella, Lamb, and Striped Bass—each dish beautifully presented and full of flavor. For dessert, the Cinnamon Churro and Peach Cobbler were the perfect finish.
The serene setting, Chef Murillo’s creativity, and the overall hospitality made this an unforgettable brunch. North Pond is a true gem in Chicago, and we can’t wait to return.
