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.

    Disappointing! We thought it would be fun to experience this classic Chicago restaurant and we won’t ever return. They didn’t seat people near the beautiful fountain. We were in a dark corner by the bathrooms. The famed chicken pot pie was not hot and not that tasty. The service was also sub-par. Too bad.

    Jose was an excellent server. Made great recommendations. Food was very good Charcuterie was perfect for 4, small caesar salad was shareable. Mushroom ravioli dish was very good as well. We had a great view looking out at Muddy Waters mural. Great for pre show dinner. And of course , the building is iconic Chicago history!

    Sad that the lunch crowd on a Saturday is so declined from the days of Marshall Fields or the Christmas rush. Always love the traditional Peach Nest and our server Vincent was incredible. Bring back the franges on a plate with the receipt!

    Excellent lunch in a historic room, by a window overlooking Chicago? Perfection. Food was delightful! Pot pie and mandarin orange chicken salad were ample, and tasty. The pot pie was perfectly season and the crust was flaky. Mint ice cream pie was dreamy and harkened back to Marshall Fields chocolates. Cocktails were also spot on! Nila, our helpful and cheerful server, was an added bonus and sealed the deal! Would definitely return!

    Chef ignored most of our requests just as far as temperature of steak cooked. Drinks were flat and service was lack luster
