North Pond

North Pond is a seasonal American restaurant at 2610 N. Cannon Drive, inside Lincoln Park on the edge of the pond the restaurant is named for. The dining room occupies a building constructed in 1912 as a warming shelter for ice skaters, and the site looks toward the Chicago skyline. Dinner is a six-course tasting menu built on ingredients from local farms and artisans, and Sunday brunch is a three-course menu.
