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.

The chicken pot pie is really a fantastic Chicago treat. Great place for dinner before a show in the Chicago theater district. Elegant, not too pricey, not overcrowded.

The carpet by the washrooms was filthy. The potatoes were stale and overcooked. Lights were turned off to conserve money and probably energy. Thus, the restaurant looked and felt closed. It was just sad!

Hadn't been for years, but glad to be there on a quiet Saturday night before the theater. Food was excellent and service was great. The menu was updated with a variety of options that all looked good. Will make it a point to return more often.

I always love visiting this iconic restaurant when i am in Chicago. While dining and drinking a delicious latte there are great views of the city! The food is delicious and we especially enjoy the homemade cinnamon rolls on Sunday!

Today’s lunch was outstanding. We had 3 different entrees, salmon, mushroom ravioli and meat loaf and all were outstanding. It was a perfect meal. Jesus was very attentive and made our meal special. Thank you.

We had an outstanding experience. Mark was our host and Liz was our waitress. Both were attentive and gracious and the food was everything I remembered. We had traveled with friends by train and this was our must do restaurant. Chicken pot pie is the go to, the salad dressing is amazing and the drinks were well made. All and all, a truly wonderful experience.
