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.

    We were 5 adults and 8 children. The servers, from hostess, waitress, and princess fairies could not have been nicer. My son and daughter were happy to come with their children as they have fond memories of dining under the tree as children with their cousins.

    First time dining at the Walnut Room during Christmas and it did not disappoint! We had an amazing dining experience thanks to our server, Alex. His warm welcome and thoughtful menu suggestions made it easy to choose standout dishes. Alex’s attention to detail, seamless timing, and genuine enthusiasm for the menu elevated the evening. Excellent service and food—we can’t wait to do it again next year!

    The Walnut Room was a beautiful venue, and the tree was absolutely amazing! Everyone was very helpful and polite. We were able to get the reservation easily adjusted to the 4 people we tried to get originally and had a table right by the tree. The princess stopped at the table for the kids, and they enjoyed it. The server was very helpful and answered all of our questions to help us choose a wonderful meal! We were extremely happy with this experience and glad we were able to enjoy it!

    We sat by the big beautiful Christmas tree! I loved the nostalgia surrounding the Walnut Room. I highly recommend going at least once during the Christmas season

    Great view of the tree, great food. The server was overworked and had too many tables, so it took a long time to get things like the check.
