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.

    Alexander/Lex was such an amazing waiter. Highly recommend requesting for him if you go. He made sure to check in on us frequently, and had such a positive, fun, attitude and great sense of humor. He was so kind to give us a great military discount because my dad is in the military and was able to do his favorite tradition (coming to the walnut room for Christmas time) before he has to go back

    We had the holiday lunch near the giant Christmas tree! It was a wonderful afternoon. We had the chicken pot-pie which is apparently a long time favorite but it was just okay, not a lot of chicken and the crust was a bit soggy. The Frango ice cream pie was delicious! Would love to make this a holiday tradition and try a different entree.

    The pot pies tasted like frozen pot pies. The hamburger was way overcooked. The mushroom ravioli was good. The food was mediocre.

    The ambiance was magnificent. Food was delicious. The service was amazing. Lex was our waiter and he was phenomenal. Extremely attentive. We had a party of 5 and not a single drink was ever empty. He made sure our special requests were met with perfection. We informed Lex of our upcoming theater reservations and he made sure we were able to enjoy our lunch with time to spare to make the theater. He is truly an asset to The Walnut Room.
