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.

    Have been coming to the walnut room for years! In fact, this was our 27th visit and we had the most wonderful time & our server, Lori, really made the experience special. She was kind and went above and beyond so we could have a good time. It’s people like her that make coming back year after year worth it. I hope Lori sees this! Thank you!!

    We have been celebrating the Christmas season with lunch at the Walnut Room for 38 years. It is a tradition begun with a young family and has continued as that young family has created families of their own. We hope to continue for years to come.

    Had a marvelous time. Lori, our server, was phenomenal. My mom and I try to meet in Chicago and visit the Walnut room each year, and this was our best experience (service-wise) in years. Food and drinks were great as always, but Lori really made our experience wonderful. We also had a great view of the tree this year - a special tradition I continue to cherish!
