Before taking off for Athens, we had a lovely pre-Christmas dinner last Tuesday at North Pond Restaurant. The restaurant is housed in a beautiful craftsman building in Chicago's Lincoln Park. They feature dishes made from organic (but not vegetarian) ingredients and the food is delicious. We stared off with a visually attractive and tasty amuse bouche with smoked fish and goat cheese, which was on the house. Appetizers featuring scallops and shrimp followed, and then salads featuring beets and pate. Finally we had mixed winter vegtables and skate for dinner. Our favs were the amuse bouche and the shrimp appetizer, but it was all very, very good. This is a great place to come for a special dinner -- but be forewarned: if you go, be prepared to lay down some serious cash at the end of the night.
