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.

    The food is fantastic. We got the ravioli with wild mushroom and it was sooo fantastic. The service was great. The ambience is beautiful. They set us by the windows and we could see Chicago. It was so lovely.

    The chicken pot pie is really a fantastic Chicago treat. Great place for dinner before a show in the Chicago theater district. Elegant, not too pricey, not overcrowded.

    The carpet by the washrooms was filthy. The potatoes were stale and overcooked. Lights were turned off to conserve money and probably energy. Thus, the restaurant looked and felt closed. It was just sad!

    Hadn't been for years, but glad to be there on a quiet Saturday night before the theater. Food was excellent and service was great. The menu was updated with a variety of options that all looked good. Will make it a point to return more often.
