Chicago’s Most Splurge-Worthy Tasting Menus

"A quaint retreat with singular views of Lincoln Park’s North Pond Nature Sanctuary, this restaurant is prized among diners seeking to mark a special occasion in a subtly elegant style. Its building, created in 1912 as a warming shelter for ice skaters, has undergone a significant redesign guided by the Arts and Crafts tradition. North Pond draws on this same organic, ornamental approach with seasonal tasting menus featuring courses like bacon-wrapped rabbit loin (roasted artichoke, pine nut brittle) and coffee-rubbed wagyu striploin with beef cheek beignet and apple butter jus. The restaurant sits in the middle of Lincoln Park — the actual park, not the neighborhood. There’s no other restaurant like it." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman
