About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for scenic views
Inspired by the market, Chef César Murillo utilizes exceptional ingredients at the height of their season. His tasting menu reflects the Arts & Crafts approach of the dining room - complex layers of subtle craft beneath a simple decorative style.

We offer a four-course tasting menu with optional wine pairings. The menu is not á la carte, however, it provides options for each of the courses.

North Pond is open for dinner Thursday through Sunday beginning at 5:30pm.
Sunday Brunch begins at 10:30am and is three-course prix fixe.

We do not offer valet parking.
Tables in the front room or patio, overlooking the pond, are seated first come, first serve. We do not hold tables.
All tables for more than 4 people are seated in our main dining room.
We accept reservations for a maximum of 8 people at one table.
A cancellation charge of $25 per person is applied to all same day cancellations.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Cesar Murillo

From the OpenTable editors: Chef César Murillo’s seasonal tasting menus are just as stunning as the lush Lincoln Park setting of this beloved restaurant. An alum of Grace, Murillo combines classical technique with hyperlocal ingredients—including fresh produce from the restaurant’s rooftop garden—in elegant dishes that could include a Cornish hen with summer squash and charred cherries. Snag a seat by one of the windows in the Arts and Crafts-style dining room for the best garden and skyline views.

    The restaurant and dining experience was exceptional. I felt the courses were also very well done and presented. The main was a bit short as compared with the rest of the meal but still very good. Wine parings were very well done.

    The food and service was amazing. The wine pairings were also good although would have liked a bit more of a pour( they were about 2oz). Also- would of liked to have had a sparkling wine when we arrived. Great place for a special occasion.

    Overall, fantastic experience. Service exceptional, ambitious tasting menu, a few misses but overall good. Asparagus course with crab, both main ingredients were lost and muddy. Odd addition of shaved carrots. Lamb course had an odd color from improper searing or roasting resulting in no Maillard and flabby texture. Modern blend of ethnic flavors crossing borders. Always a challenge to nail everything but, delicious flavors nonetheless. Wine pairing was on point! Beautiful space for nice relaxing meal in Chicago.
