    Wonderful food, wonderful service and great experience celebrating an anniversary. Music was just a little loud - seemed like people had to talk louder to talk over it at times but it was not an issue.

    We brought our two grandsons (ages 5 and 3) to the Walnut Room in Chicago on 1/3/2025, to experience the holiday decor. The "fairies" circulating around to each table were so engaging while chatting with our grandsons, and explaining how to "make a wish". Our server was very friendly and efficient, even under the pressure of a very busy day at the restaurant. The food was very good, and I was pleasantly surprised to see kids menu items available, which our grandsons thoroughly enjoyed. Two small glitches. . 1. Upon arrival, there were soiled napkins/food items on the floor next to one of the chairs at our table. I was disappointed at that mess. One of the "fairies" noticed this mess and got the staff to clean it up and 2. Our cocktails were served AFTER our food arrived. Despite these two small glitches, we had a wonderful time together, and on the way home, our 5 year old grandson told us he had the BEST DAY ever.

    Our server, Dominic, made it a fantastic dinner! He was attentive and in a great mood even though he was working on Christmas Eve. He made suggestions and seemed to know the menu very well. Other servers stopped by the table, as did the chef and the manager to make sure we were happy. There was a surprising number of guests in the restaurant that night and they still made time for us. The Fra Gee Lay was delicious and the leg lamp glass was hilarious! It was my first Christmas Eve without my whole family home and I wasn't sure what to expect. Dominic helped make the night a lot of fun and we had a great time! The food was outstanding - I have been to Fiori many times but it was my son's first time as he lives in Ft. Wayne. He raved about the food and said I didn't do the place justice even though I told him how good it was. My only wish would have been for more holiday decorations. The other side restaurant was very festive, but on the Fiori side you almost didn't know there as a holiday going on.
