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.

    This was our second time celebrating an anniversary at North Pond and it did not disappoint. The hospitality experience is top notch from the greeting at the door and food from the amuse bouche to dessert is unique, beautifully presented and delicious . The Arts and Crafts interior is absolutely stunning, and the ambiance is somehow both calming and energetic. The staff are attentive and friendly. For a Michelin starred restaurant I definitely consider the prix fixe menu a good value!

    We had the most lovely brunch at North Pond. It is very much worth the cost. The servings were huge, and everything was delicious. The drinks are also reasonably priced for brunch. Service was impeccable.

    We went there for Brunch to celebrate a birthday. They had a customized menu already printed for our table with a personalized birthday greeting. The dessert plate had a chocolate handwritten personalized Happy Birthday. It was such a nice surprising gesture! Staff was very kind and friendly. Liz was our server. We payed $59 pp for a three-course menu and this was great value for the curated food and drinks (beverage are separated). Ambience was great. I highly recommend the North Pond Restaurant, specially if celebrating any occasion. Thank you for a great culinary experience!
