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.

    Lex was an amazing waiter. He did an amazing job staying on top of things and keeping drinks and food in time. Hands down the best service experience we’ve had at the walnut room in over a decade of going there.

    Five stars all around. My waitress Genevieve was excellent! I ordered the Walnut Room Old Fashioned and the Chicken Pot Pie. Everything was great and I thought it was an excellent value for the price. I was seated at a table with a great view of the tree. I am spending this Christmas alone in the city and I’ve always wanted to visit the Walnut Room. This dinner was everything I wanted it to be!

    Love the experience dining here. The Christmas tree is absolutely beautiful. The mushroom ravioli was incredible. Wish they would serve bread with salad, pasta and soup. No bread to be had. Famous Lezza chocolate cake was fine but overrated. Should have ordered the Yule log dessert. Overall I would recommend the holiday experience dining here.

    Our server was great! Told what wasn’t selling or others were not liking, which were dishes we were good to order - I’ve never experienced this before! Instead she gave us the best selling dish recommendations- we had the meatloaf, ravioli and asiago chicken, all very good but the meatloaf was amazing!
