Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Albany Park

We had a fantastic experience. Our waiters were thoughtful and attentive. We took the advice to have the daily special and it was fabulous. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

North Pond is an absolute gem. From the moment we stepped in and gave our name at the host stand, we were warmly welcomed, setting the tone for an exceptional evening. The atmosphere is intimate and inviting, with the beauty of Lincoln Park providing a stunning backdrop. Our server was knowledgeable and engaging, taking the time to walk us through the menu and wine pairings with care and enthusiasm. The tasting menu was nothing short of spectacular—each dish showcased the chef’s creativity and meticulous attention to detail. The flavors were inventive and harmonious, and the wine pairings elevated every course beautifully. My wife and I always cherish our time at North Pond. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience that lingers with you long after the evening ends. If you’re looking for a restaurant that seamlessly blends artistry, flavor, and a sense of place, North Pond is a must-visit.

What a fantastic dinner! I highly recommend. All my fiancée wanted for his birthday was an omakase dinner so I took him here. It was incredible! They even wrote his name on their special board and did a birthday candle for dessert. I’ve barely tried sushi and don’t usually like fish but I decided to be adventurous and it sure was worth it! The food is truly so so good! Go to AJI, it’s worth it!

A total gym in Lincoln Square if you get a chance, try going Wednesday nights they end up having live tango dancing. Food was delicious. Drinks were amazing.

Via Carducci is our absolute go to in wicker park! Love it so much! So cozy and warm and seems like you are in an Italian restaurant in an out of the way alley in Rome! Love it!!
