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.

    Lunch in December was excellent and the Walnut Room didn’t miss providing a Christmas vibe! Definitely set us in the mood for the holidays.

    This has been an annual tradition for us for the last 4 or 5 years. Being in the Walnut Room truly helps get everyone in the Christmas spirit. We had our favorites for lunch and the food was comforting and tasty. Our server was attentive and sweet, even though she was serving a large number of tables! Thank you for keep this Christmas tradition alive. The tree centerpiece was stunning as usual! 🎄

    Wonderful staff. They were able to change our table and place us near the Great Tree. The food was great and came out pretty quickly. Everyone was friendly and accommodating.

    Another wonderful experience at the Walnut Room! James, our waiter was phenomenal! He was knowledgeable, efficient, personable and fun! Our husbands decided to play a game with us, which they discussed during g our “potty break” and they pulled off flawlessly. The fairies stopped by our table to make our wishes and even had our photo’s taken. A holiday must!
