   What a wonderful culinary adventure! The choices were interesting, as well as delicious. My dinner companion is a very fussy eater and he enjoyed everything. When I made the reservation, I let North Pond know that we were celebrating my friend's birthday. When our menus arrived, they said "Happy Birthday" with his name on them (nice touch). During the course of the meal, we were brought three different items that were sent with the chef's compliments. The staff is outstanding. At one point, I asked a server where the bathrooms were and she escorted me instead of just pointing. Our server answered all our questions and explained everything that the chef had created. If you have the chance to go, do it!

    Great tasting menu, giving you choices for each course. Excellence service, customizing the menu with the name of the person whose birthday it was, which was a nice touch. Tasty cocktails, and a nice setting (especially when the pond work gets completed). Will definitely go back.

    Can't say enough on how amazing our dinner was and the staff was attentive and knowledgeable. Highly recommended. There was one item (pastry with beef) on the menu that was so delicious I actually got goose bumps on my arms. The atmosphere was relaxed and perfect for a dinner out and we were pleasantly surprised by the additional extra items that were brought to the table like little snacks between courses. Simply amazing!

    Pricey and I think they make the pre main course options a bit fussy. The beef main dish was out of this world fantastic. The scenic landscape project was a bummer but when it is done the view will be much enhanced to Add to the overall experience.

    My friend and I had brunch. For the 1st course I had the Mackerel and he had the Grits. I liked the mackerel but he thought the flavors didn't mesh well in his dish. For the main we both had the Striploin which was excellent. The Bostock and the Cheesecake made a pleasant finish. We each had wine, a Pinot Noir and a Bordeaux Blend, both very good. Excellent food, ambience and service make North Pond worthy of a repeat visit

    North Pond is magical. It’s the place where everything comes together to create the perfect night out. As good as the food is, the gracious service and pacing, and the setting, are matchless. If I had to pick only one restaurant to be Chicago’s best-of-the-best, I’d give the matter serious thought, but then I’d smile and say “North Pond.”

    Outstanding cuisine with a rainbow of tastes with every dish. One of the dishes had "hotter" spices than I prefer but all of the tasting menu was delightful. Both French Champagnes on the menu are excellent and provide a nice contrast.
