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.

    This is a classic location in Downtown Chicago. The wonderful wood, and architecture made it seem so special. It is a very low noise, calm environment with consisten food quality and service.

    The staff at the Wallnut Room were friendly, polite and helpful. Food was good and reasonable priced. Service was good and did not have to wait long for the food. Great experience. Can’t wait to do it again.

    I had braised ribs - very tender and tasty comfort food! I would get it again. Huge space. Cozy wood. A blast from the past. Lighting was a bit dim and somewhat odd. First time but I will remember this place and come again. Open til 7pm so about the right time before a show. 7th floor inside Macy’s. Take the express elevator…

    The food and ambience was great, the server was too. The hostess discretely took pictures of my grandmother and I because she does not like having pictures taken. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated that.
