We had a FANTASTIC experience at the Walnut Room! The room is magical and we were visited by fairy princesses. Everyone enjoyed their food and the service was great! Everything was perfect! Our visit this year was much approved upon to last year. Maybe it just was too busy at the time. It's always very special!

We were running behind due to the parade of lights and Ivan made sure to graciously adjust or reservation which I know isn’t always easy. Upon arrival we were seated immediately and well taken care off by all members of the service team. Food was excellent, prepared as requested and served hot. Couldn’t ask for a better dining experience!

Our waiter was wonderful and personable and forthcoming, he was quick with Service for both drinks and bringing the meal and attentive, but not over-bearing. He was great at making food recommendations. We had a great time and highly recommend the restaurant !. The flourless chocolate cake was to die for.

Our server, George, was excellent. Helpful, informative, but not pushy. The lobster stuffed deviled eggs are a must for us. SO delicious. The steak salad has roasted potato cubes, wild mushrooms, and tomatoes on arugula covered with shaved manchego. Really a good meal. Large amount of well-cooked steak. The rigatoni pasta with sausage, tomato and other bits definitely pleased my husband. Too full for a dessert, alas. Highly recommend Remington's if you're going to be in downtown Chicago.
