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.

    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.
