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.

    One of the last fabulous department store dining rooms in the United States. Not to be missed, especially at the holidays with its 30' high Christmas tree in the dining room. Lovely windows over looking State Street as well.

    Everything was perfect except the chicken for my quinoa dish was cold. This happened last year when we went to the Walnut Room. The chicken I ordered on my salad was cold. Just a little advice, I would grill/bbq the chicken and then cut it up in strips and then serve it on the salad. It would be much tastier.

    We were having dinner with a toddler, which can make things very chaotic, . Our server, Robert was very nice and patient.
