Restaurants near Chicago Opera Theater

went here for our anniversary and was not expecting to love it so much. the service was amazing and they really pay attention to detail. the ambiance was perfect and the food really speaks for itself. we were pleasantly surprised at how authentic the flavor is to traditional korean food while fusing the american palette as well. this was the best dining experience we have ever had and we were in such good hands during the whole meal. our server gave us a great recommendation to a dive bar a couple blocks away and we thoroughly enjoyed that as well. i personally think this is the best dining experience i've had in my whole life - from the food (the sesame oil dipping sauce is perfection) to the service. my boyfriend agrees that this was the most perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. we hope we have the opportunity to come again for our next milestone anniversary.

First time experience on a busy Valentines holiday and we will be back! Ordered the Wagyu Filet. I have had several good meals in my lifetime but this steak was the best I’ve ever had. Service was excellent. Can’t recommend enough. Thanks S&W!

Great to hear live music. Paul Marinaro quartet were amazing. Service very good and food and wine good enough. We will be back ! Glad there is a podium ask to keep voices down but some could have used a reminder during the set

I took my mom for a Valentine's Day lunch. We went around 3 PM, and even though my reservation was at 3:30 PM the staff were nice enough to let me in. Granted it was a low volume of people eating at the time. We were sat near the windows which added to the ambience of our visit. The music made it feel like we were in an old fancy jazz club. I had the French onion soup and the chicken sandwich while my mom had the Walnut turkey club sandwich. Both sandwiches came with well seasoned fries. The food was delicious and our waitress, Annette, was very attentive and sweet. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely go again. I would highly recommend the Walnut Room.

Our server, Angelica, really made for a delightful evening. We celebrated my husband's birthday and enjoyed everything from the icy-cold martinis to the appetizers to the two entrees we ordered - one seafood, one steak. Only downside to the experience was that the lovely downtown view was marred by the sight of Rump Tower, but they gladly changed tables for us when we let them know that the very sight of that name tends to make us sick to our stomachs. Thank you for making a special evening. We'll be back - and again ask for a table where we don't have to see that horrid sign.
