The world famous Walnut Room has been a Chicago tradition since 1907. Located on the 7th floor of Macy's on State Street, the Walnut Room was the first restaurant ever opened in a department store. Conveniently located in the heart of the Chicago theater district, the Walnut Room is an excellent choice to take a break from shopping or for a meal and a glass of wine before the show.
Enjoy our Famous Mrs. Herring's Chicken Pot Pie and other well known favorites on the menu.

    We were absolutely freezing, it made for a miserable experience. Chicken pot pie was just OK, Asiago chicken was decent. No guarantees to sit by the tree unless u have kids. Lex was definitely an awesome server.

    16 people from the ages of 1 to 89! All enjoyed the food and drink, the decor. But the service was superlative! Pleasant, timely, attentive but not overwhelming. Fun place to gather to celebrate new beginnings🎉

    We had such a nice time! Liz is an awesome person, she’s friendly , a great personality! She made our visit very welcoming. Can I request her as my waitress going forward for the next time we are in the Walnut Room for December 2025 reservations? Great job! She deserves a high five and a RAISE!! April

    My friend and I had the absolute 💯 best time at brunch. We were seated near the magnificent Christmas tree and were visited by one of the fairies 🧚‍♂️ whom we each made a wish with. Our meal was savory and delicious. We enjoyed the pot pie, salad , and abundant charcuterie board selection. But, above everything else, it was the exceptional service provided by Lex, and the reason I'm taking the time to write this review. He was friendly, attentive, and very professional. We wanted for nothing because Lex was observant and took action before we asked. Thank you, Lex, for making our day.

    Thank you for the notification of a recent cancellation. We did not expect to get one this year as everything was completely booked, but we were pleasantly surprised. It was wonderful! We started an annual tradition and are looking forward to next year!!!!

    Tracey the manager was amazing. James, our server was bar none! Hostess was a bit peculiar telling us that she’s rude to customers because they are frustrating. Thankful for the manager and our server James!
