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.

    Booked reservation for 6:30 pm - then saw on app they were closing at 7 pm. So we were concerned but restaurant said that that time is when they quit taking reservations?

    I haven’t been to the Walnut Room in a long time. I was mostly going for the Christmas decorations but was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the food prep. My last experience with the food quality there was not great, which is why I haven’t been for a long time. We were also heading to the theater and our server was tremendous in getting our order in and to us very quickly so that we could get to the show on time. I will definitely go again around the holidays in future years!

    Had a late afternoon lunch with my life long friend. We truly enjoyed ourselves. The decor caught my eye immediately. So beautiful and festive. Very little wait time. Greeter was nice and friendly. My request to sit near the Christmas tree was granted. The Fairy Princesses were a nice touch. Food, dessert and drinks were very good. Everything was served in a timely manner. Presentation was lovely. Felt pressured by the photographer, that's the ONLY negative comment. Looking forward to coming back next month with my Ladies group.!
