    The Spring Tasting menu and wine flight was one of the finest dining experiences we’ve ever had. Our server,Jake, was informative and attentive. The ambience in this historic location on a Lincoln Park lagoon was amazing. Kudos to North Pond, keep up the great work..

    For of us met for oysters at happy hour and then proceeded to the dining room. After sharing steak tartar, two of us enjoyed salmon wellington (melts in your mouth) one had lamb shank and another, steak frites, Two bottles of wine later, we were out the door, completely satiated. Thank you. I server was wonderful. Sadly, I can't remember her name, but she had great hair!

    Wow is all I have to say. From the newest hostess to our server to the busboys. Service was outstanding. Really refreshing for my first time. I’ve been pretty disappointed lately with hospitality and this place brought me back. The food was so fresh and flavorful. The service went over and beyond. My drink was mixed well and that bartender was nice eye candy ;). I had specified celebration of a birthday and they def took care of us. Amazing evening had. Will be back!
