North Pond Restaurant

The Warming House in the Park

2610 North Cannon Drive
Chicago, IL

About

Located in the heart of Lincoln Park, our restaurant offers a serene setting away from the city’s bustle, housed in a historic 1912 structure originally designed by Dwight Perkins. Our Arts and Crafts-style dining room, designed by Nancy Warren, provides a warm and elevated ambiance for a private event of up to 80 guests.

Our culinary team, led by Chef César Murillo, Chef De Cuisine John Brandon, and Pastry Chef Johan Rubio, crafts seasonal menus using exceptional ingredients from local farmers and producers. Typically, an evening at North Pond begins with a cocktail reception featuring hors d’oeuvres, followed by a formal multi-course dinner with preselected wine pairings.

The restaurant is closed to the public during private events, ensuring you and your guests have exclusive use of the space until the park closes at 11:00 PM. Additionally, our outdoor space and rooftop garden provide a picturesque backdrop for photos with stunning views of the Chicago skyline.

Please let us know if you have any questions or if you would like to discuss a specific date for your event.
