It’s easy to feel the romance at this long-standing outpost, situated alongside Lincoln Park’s tranquil North Pond. What once served as a former warming house for skaters has been transformed into an Arts and Crafts-style space that ushers in couples celebrating anniversaries and special occasions throughout the year (not to mention more than a few engagements). Chef César Murillo serves a four-course tasting menu that celebrates seasonality, with exemplary options like grilled wagyu served with bone marrow, radish, and bone broth, or seared Australian ocean trout with tanglefoot ranch prawns, celery root, and blue corn grits. Post-dinner, take your beau for a stroll through the park while basking in the sweeping skyline views.

Located on a pond in the heart of Lincoln Park proper, this longtime neighborhood favorite is housed in a former ice-skating warming retreat overlooking the city’s twinkling skyline. After a thoughtful redesign, the space is now a de facto date night destination, ushering in celebrations ranging from proposals to anniversaries on the regular. Chef César Murillo (who spent three years at Grace) applies fine dining technique to a range of hyper seasonal products, resulting in orders like Squab with celery root “risotto” or Braised Beef Cheeks ladled with sunchoke cheddar puree.
