North Pond

American restaurant · Lincoln Park

"North Pond, in the middle of Lincoln Park, is like an extremely attractive person who never gets asked out because everyone assumes they’re in a relationship. In practical terms, this means it’s a very good special occasion spot to snag a last-minute reservation if you dropped the ball on planning a date. The space and view of the eponymous pond make you feel like you’re in a really nice cabin, and the seasonal American food is always outstanding. It’s a romantic spot that will buy you a little time before your date finds out you’re a chronic procrastinator." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
