    Every thing was wonderful. Staff was very attentive. However if you have a gift card print it out. Very uncomfortable having to give the waiter your phone to get the codes away from you.

    Coming here feels like home. Very quaint, service is always outstanding. Ordered plenty for the family. This time, half of the food came out hot as it should and the rest came out luke warm which is the reason it did not get 5 stars as I usually would give it. I understand the busy service and time during Christmas which is why I did not bring to servers attention. The dessert definitely made up for it.

    North Pond is an absolute gem. From the moment we stepped in and gave our name at the host stand, we were warmly welcomed, setting the tone for an exceptional evening. The atmosphere is intimate and inviting, with the beauty of Lincoln Park providing a stunning backdrop. Our server was knowledgeable and engaging, taking the time to walk us through the menu and wine pairings with care and enthusiasm. The tasting menu was nothing short of spectacular—each dish showcased the chef’s creativity and meticulous attention to detail. The flavors were inventive and harmonious, and the wine pairings elevated every course beautifully. My wife and I always cherish our time at North Pond. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience that lingers with you long after the evening ends. If you’re looking for a restaurant that seamlessly blends artistry, flavor, and a sense of place, North Pond is a must-visit.
