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.

    It is always fun to come here at Christmastime as the Christmas tree is fun to sit by and enjoy its beauty. Our waiter was so kind and even though he was very busy with a large table he did a nice job of getting our order and then received our drinks quickly followed by our food order quickly. We had the chicken pot pie and the Asiago crusted chicken and both were very good.

    The staff were fantastic. So very helpful knowing we had a special needs child in a wheelchair. Good was outstanding. I had the cranberry citrus chicken salad, my favorite. We were never rushed. I love that they now take reservations. No stress.

    The server was less than friendly to the point one guest didn’t eat because of allergies and when asked about making sure no cross contaminations would take place she said she didn’t know. It was like we were bothering her. Photographer was out in store area when we left but we seen her taking pictures by tree for groups inside then selling the prints. Disappointed we weren’t offered that. We can say we came but we wouldn’t come back.
