It was very chilly inside. The place is beautiful. My pot pie was luke warm, and the server didn't even ask to refill our $2.49 drinks. It was a nice experience but won't be going back.

Beautiful ambiance love the humongous Christmas tree in the center and the fairies walking around making wishes for you (yes yes even if I’m old it’s still nice ????????). Had the meatloaf and pot pie ???? which were both wow! Would go back cause had an amazing fun time with friends. Ordered the garlic butter bread which was larger than I expected.

This was a bucket list experience and it was awesome. I was worried the food would be average, but the burger was great. Kids chicken fingers with chocolate milk was also a big hit. We got seated next to the tree and it was awesome. The server, Annette, was super kind and good. Highly recommend doing this if you have kids!

This has been a favorite since I would come here 30 years ago when it was in Marshall Fields. Although it no longer has a long waiting list to get in or its signature dishes it still has excellent food, service and a beautiful setting. The salmon salad was large and delicious and my husbands sirloin burger as good now as then. Great memories here.

Had the opportunity to attend a drag show at the walnut room, the event was fun. Staff was friendly but some seemed overwhelmed as they they did not have enough staff for the event. We ordered one appetizer, which was ok because it was cold when it arrived. The drinks were fine,no issues there. Seating was first come first serve, which caused some confusion. We were lucky enough to sit with another friendly duo and share a table.

What a cool experience. Who would have thought that a luxury restaurant would succeed in the back of a department store! Really cool history here. Must try the historic chicken pot pie!

i want to like this place more so bad that i'm giving it an extra star on ambiance and service alone located just a couple short blocks away from millennium park + the bean, it's located the 7th floor of the macy's on state street and honestly, everything we tried, other than the pot pie, was really just okay and not worth writing all too much about; but the location itself felt otherworldly. upon entry, we were greeted by a beautiful marble fountain in a bright foyer, and then taken back to a massive but practically empty dining area, surrounded by wood paneling and dark but intimate lighting. to happen upon this place on a rainy weekday afternoon, with the high class of servers and hosts in their employ -- it made me feel nostalgic for a time i never personally experienced myself (i think the word is anemoia?) because even though all the tables around us were almost completely empty of other patrons, i couldn't help but picture this room full of businessmen in suits and fancy women in beautiful dresses; of clinking glasses and roaring gossip in old chicago, whatever that might mean if you're in the area and you have a couple hours to burn, i urge you to please, please, please consider burning them here. i imagine other places like this still exist in someplace, somewhere, but i sure as heck haven't been in them/wouldn't know how to find them/won't be invited to them any time soon thank you for the wonderful experience, and for still standing here after so many years. we will definitely be back again, and hopefully during some sort of holiday or event when it's more bursting with life, as it should be

This place is awesome! You should make a reservation. I had the Sunday veggie quiche brunch menu with walnut salad . It melted in your mouth . It's beautiful inside Cloth napkins white tablecloth Beautiful view Nice sites We will be back Thanks for the pleasant day

The sauce is made of pommery mustard with cheese crusted chicken that was so good and savory along with the mashed potatoes and veggies. Came here for lunch with some coworkers which happens to be located In the macys building. Beautiful space and lovely to visit if you've never been.

The Walnut Room is a Chicago Christmas icon, so I was pleased to get a reservation for the week before Christmas. Check OpenTable frequently, as reservations become available and they are a must have during the holiday season. The highlight of the experience was the decor. The center of the room was taken up by a larger than life Christmas tree decorated like it was flown in from Candyland. The menu is holiday comfort food and was just okay. This place is more about the ambience than anything else. Our server, Sierra, was above and beyond at her job. We placed our orders with her and the food was brought out less than 5 minutes later by another server, before Sierra could even bring our drinks! Our sides were incorrect, but Sierra brought out the correct items very quickly. Overall, I wasn't a huge fan of the food. The chicken pot pie was a little too salty and lacked much filling. The caesar salad was soggy and the signature mocktail was overpriced cranberry juice in a wine glass. We got carrot cake for dessert though and that was spectacular. Pricing is very reasonable for a famous restaurant downtown. The chicken pot pie was served with salad and was $16. The service and atmosphere were really where the Walnut Room shined though!
