North Pond Chicago Reviews
We loved this meal.
The real stars were the most unique dishes: the chilled melon, cucumber, coconut soup with crab, fennel, and some sort of spice. The other faves: the mushroom, scallop, and buckwheat crepe, the yak tortellini, and the pear with 5 spice dessert. The s
My wife and I went to dinner here and loved it.
The setting is really cozy and nice. We went fairly late at night and it felt like a very nice lakeside cabin. The food was imaginative including a watermelon sashimi which was amazing. They also included neat little freebies like a bite of popcorn f
Great experience! Beautiful room, delicious food, friendly
Great experience! Beautiful room, delicious food, friendly service. We did the wine pairing for dinner, and I'd recommend that.
Pretentious and expensive
The North Pond is an interesting experience; it has excellent cooking and poor customer service. Oh, the attention to detail was good, no doubt about it but they didn’t appreciate what they were dealing with. We had the tasting menu, and the menu h
Enjoyed a great evening at this gem of a place in Chicago.
Fantastic location. Great service. Multiple course dinner was very good. Will definitely come back.
The place sits right in the middle of Lincoln Park.
Having an evening reservation after the sun has set gives this little building all the vibes. The wait staff makes you feel as if you've come home for a great meal and they are excited to host you. The food is a nice little adventure for your pa
Incredibly rude and condescending, we heard people talking
Incredibly rude and condescending, we heard people talking about how the food was bad so we went in to cancel our reservation. The host immediately became rude to us as if we hurt his feelings. Horrible customer service. I'll be honest this plac

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 h

First dealing with getting the reservation for 8 was a thrilling challenge and reassuring- went from two to eight and the system responded- a little difficult to find even our Uber driver had difficulty- however upon arrival the restaurant staff took
A wonderful dining experience!
My family party of 3 enjoyed a truly elevated dining experience that was definitely special! We added the wine pairing for our meal and it did not disappoint. It adds to the dining experience and is worth the price. Delicious house made bread started

We were visiting from LA for the weekend and had one free night, we were excited to visit North Pond as it had always been on our radar when we lived in Chicago. The location in the park is unique and fantastic. The vibe inside is great. I wasn�

We came a half hour early in case we had trouble finding parking but we were able to snag a spot right away (we came on a Sunday evening for an early dinner). Adults are $134/person and children are $29/person. Wine pairing is $74/person. I had the
I love this place.
The food is excellent, and the service is impeccable. However, in my mind, they have taken one giant step backwards by reducing their menu. They used to have four courses, with three options per course. There was an optional fifth course. They have n

We were beyond excited to try this place but we were running late and they have a strict no seating pass your reservation time policy so we didn't get to try it. It's our fault so not blaming anyone. However, I will like to point out the r
Special birthday dinner
North Pond is a great choice for a romantic, elegant, leisurely dinner. It's a 4-course tasting meal with optional wine pairing. There's a large wine list with beer, cider and cocktails if you don't choose the wine pairing. In add
Magical evening for our family
Amazing experience with interesting and dynamic courses on this 4 course chefs tasting menu. We had planned to request kids options for our 10 year old which they were happy to provide cut she chose to do the full tasting menu and it was a great expe
One of the best dishes of my life to date & a perfect anniversary meal
Had a wonderful anniversary meal one evening at North Pond. The walk to the restaurant through Lincoln Park was already setting the relaxed mood, and on arrival, service was authentically friendly and you could tell they really wanted you to enjoy th
The Best
Simply my favorite restaurant in Chicago. The food is whimsical and delicious. The "house" is always interesting and just right. Best food best vibe! Such a beautiful space.
They deserve their Michelin star again
We had an amazing family meal here. The tasting menu was executed perfectly by their staff--highlights were the kampachi appetizer, the bread with squash butter, the Tasmanian trout entree, and the astounding dessert options, especially their banana
Wonderful food and atmosphere!
I loved this place! The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated. The food is amazing! We added the optional lobster course, and I would highly recommend doing this. The entire experience was A-plus and made for some wonderful memories. If you have

Welcoming environment. Staff was accommodating and responsive to feedback. Booking process was smooth. Personalized menu and treats to honor my birthday. Each course was beautifully presented and included items from their roof top garden, which you
Connect with users posting reservations for North Pond Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with North Pond Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to North Pond Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the North Pond Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at North Pond Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at North Pond Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
