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.

    Enjoyable overall experience, we ordered the lobster bisque. It was delicious but it could have been warmer. The mushroom ravioli was good and the burgers were a little sloppy. Overall it was a great experience and the staff were amazing.
