The Walnut Room Chicago Reviews
Went for lunch to get holiday reservations
We went for lunch so we could get a Christmas reservation before the reservations go-live next week. We almost thought they weren’t going to seat us because half the room was shut down for an event. Turned out fine. Staff are not very attentive but
Everything was great.
I visited here during Thanksgiving break and it was so crowded. The food was alright. My first impression was the iconic Christmas Tree

The food was delicious and our waiter was great, though he did forget to serve my lobster bisque, but apologized profusely. He offered to bring it along with the meal, but by then I felt it was too late. This was a minor inconvenience and in no way d
The food and service were incredible.
It wasn't busy and the food was amazing. I recommend The Walnut Room for any size celebration.

The Walnut Room on Marshal Fields, make that Macy's, 7th floor is a forgotten treasure and is now our go-to restaurant when we are downtown. The chicken pot pie lives up to its legendary status. The turkey club is also great. Comes with the best
The food was spectacular.
The service was top notch. The views are Devine. Love this historic spot to get a bite while shopping. We are fortunate to have this Macys and the Walnut Room.
Foods okay but the ambiance and family tradition of going
Foods okay but the ambiance and family tradition of going there at Christmas is a Chicago thing. Do it at least once.
Came in birthday of Muddy Waters for a blues tribute.
It was my first time in such a renowned room. A room from a different era, when people shopped in person primarily, when people dressed up to go to the movies and fly on planes. I like the wood used in the room. It's beautiful wood like you'

The Walnut room is located on top floor of the Macy's building. Had brunch with my friends there, and it was amazing . Services was amazing.
Unique atmosphere that combines history with comfort
The American classics on the menu were satisfying, and we particularly enjoyed the Sunday brunch buffet—perfect for a lazy day out. The service was attentive, making us feel right at home. While it may not be the most extravagant dining option, the

Came for a book club mid-week and the entire restaurant was dead empty. Service was good, food was mid-tier (pot pie, salmon, club, soup), but the drinks were great.
A holiday must!
First off, get your reservations early, and definitely get on the OpenTable waitlist if the list is full. That being said, the OpenTable waitlist alerts were very sketchy. For the week leading up to our trip, I kept my cell phone open and unlocked in
Disappointed and Cold
My retired ladies group visited the Walnut room in December 16th. We all live in the southern suburbs of Chicago. Upon arrival; one of the ladies had to go to the ladies room. While we waited in line, my friend hurried to the bathroom. Remember we
Great Experience, Average Food
My wife and I were looking for a place to have a quick bite after taking in the sights and sounds around Millennium Park. We wandered into Macy's and asked the friendly lady at the information desk for suggestions. She pointed us to some casual
Hard to get in at Christmastime, but excellent food!
Was very excited about going here over Thanksgiving. Located 7th floor of Macy's. It is very family-oriented (kids) at this time of year. There is a huge Christmas tree/decor, with tons of seating. It was very difficult to get a reservation. Sig
Lovely Holiday Dinner with Friends
So, so lovely. Couldn’t find a reservation online but they were able to accommodate our party of six near the tree anyway. They really try to please their customers. Food could have been hotter/fresher but it was near their closing so I can give th
Walnut Room.....It's holiday magic in a nutshell!!!
My Mom, Auntie, husband, cousin, and I kicked off the holidays with a super fun lunch at Chicago's, Walnut Room, on the opening day of, The Great Tree! And what a magnificent tree it is! Decked out in classic Christmas colors, towering over the
The Walnut Room at Macy’s is a must go.
The chicken pot pie and salad were delicious and brought back memories of dining at Marshall Field’s in the past. I was saddened to see how few people were dining in this great restaurant.
Jazz Lunch
Beautiful Old School room, with excellent city views. We really enjoyed the Father's Day lunch, especially the live jazz, simple but well-prepared Caesar salad, and delicious Frango ice cream cake and pie.
Unacceptable
I was billed two (2) times for the same meal and no one would call me back to straightened out the problem. Could not get in touch with anyone to help me. Worst service and customer relations I've ever been through.

I went to the walnut room in November when they had their famous Christmas decorations up. It was a cute vibe and fun to see the big Christmas tree. The food was decent, I got a burger. It seemed a bit outdated and not the best ambiance.
Overall experience was just ok.
It's a Chicago staple known for its Christmas decor and that's really what people go for. I've been around Christmas and it doesn't disappoint. The restaurant is gorgeous no matter what time of year you go. However, I can say less about the food. We
This place is awesome! You should make a reservation.

We had a wonderful brunch - which set us in the holiday mood. The service was great and we had a wonderful experience. It is definitely a holiday To Do if you are in Chicago. Also, the souvenir glasses were a nice touch to take home as well.

The ambiance is the only nice thing about this place.
The food and service were very sub-par, including the cost!
Ate at Walnut Room tonight, it was clean and empty.
But the filet steak was the worse I've eaten ever! Walnut Room chef put some kind of gravy mushroom over steak?? A good filet steak does not need drenched in anything. Plus it was a fatty steak? It may have not even been a filet. Mentioned to our w

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 lo
Lovely historic restaurant.
Great service. Delicious food. If you want reservations for a table near the Walnut Room Christmas tree, you will have to make reservations months ahead.
Came here after Hamilton.
Arrived at 4:45p and it was absolutely dead. Our waitress was pleasant and the food was good. Take note this is on the 7th floor above Macy's.
Walnut Room great experience
Wonderful atmosphere for a very nice and emotional place. Suggested for a great place where you can eat delicious dishes in a very ancient and elegant sensations.
Sad and Tired Christmas Experience
My daughter and I visited for the Christmas festivities. It was strange that it was very difficult to get a table yet the space was less than half filled when we arrived for our reservation time. Also there was just the 2 of us and we were seated at
Pass
I was looking forward to coming back as it’s been a while since I dined here for the holiday, but if I could give zero stars I would as the dining experience was terrible. We had to ask twice for an additional chair as the table they sat us at didn
Very disappointed
The food was good, the service was very bad and very slow. Waited for the bill over 30 minutes. But the worse thing is asking the manager by the tree to take our photo, me my friend and 2 little boys he replied absolutely not , then he loudly asking
Best Chicken Pot Pie In The World!
This was our first stop when we got to Chicago. The decorations were beautiful. I had read where they had the best Chicken Pot Pie in the world. Well, they did not lie, it was wonderful. Walnut Room Salad was also very good. We finished the meal
Good Food - Great History
The History of the Walnut Room is excellent. The Christmas Season is a special occasion to visit the Walnut Room. The tree is beautifully decorated and the seasonal holiday menu is very nice. The historic Chicken Pot Pie is must to eat.
Beautiful decor, average food!
The decor at the Walnut Room is stunning! However, the queue to get in (despite having a reservation) was huge!! Once in the staff were pleasant enough. I felt the full experience was very rushed. The food came out very fast and was average. I felt I
This just became a tradition for us!
The food came out really fast and was fresh. We came here primarily so my daughter could see the gigantic Christmas tree in the walnut room and see the fairy princesses. We got all of that and visits from THREE fairy Princess. My daughter was loving
Very Special Experience
We were so looking forward to this and were not disappointed! It was our first time, and we loved the dinner, the dessert, the souvenir glass, the tree, and everything! We were treated well and made to feel special. I can understand how people might
Christmas Time at the Walnut Room
The Christmas time here will be a yearly treat; but I recommend you start looking for reservations in September as it was IMPOSSIBLE to get any reservation by the tree in November-December. I was LUCKY to get the first day at 630pm! Overall, it was a

I wasn't sure what to make of this place at first - it's upscale, but inside of a department store. There's limited seating due to short staff in the evening, but the service is efficient and friendly. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised. Our cock
Refined Dining...
I wouldn't go so far as to say the Walnut Room is fine dining, but it is refined; nice decor with a properly laid table setting, not a knife and fork wrapped in a paper napkin. Tablecloths would be a nice touch, but no one seems to do that anymore

I've been to many drag brunches in Chicago and this was unfortunately my least favorite. It's very stressful to find a seat and our seating arrangement was not very comfortable. The room is also just too big and you barely get to see the queens per
Classic and timeless.
Although it's shrinking in size, it's the Walnut Room! A Christmas tradition.
My first time going to the Walnut Room in many years.
We were greeted by a very nice hostess and were seated near the large windows overlooking State St. I asked the hostess if she could lower the volume of the music. She said that she would look into it. About 15 minutes later the hostess was seating a
The chicken pot pie was tasty.
However, the Vegan option was awful, inedible. The Server still charged us despite the fact my daughter hated it and didn't eat it. In fact the Server didn't seem to care. The Christmas tree is gorgeous as are the rest of the decorations. The history
A fun Christmas tradition.
The restaurant is super festive with a nice cozy atmosphere and the iconic beautiful tree. Very family friendly, especially brining our infant for the first time. The food is noting to write home about. Small portions and kind of salty. Nonetheless,
Walnut room is an iconic Chicago must see and eat it.
The Decour has definitely changed inside from the traditional walnut walls and wood. However, the food service and tradition of going is an experience for all. Great family day or if you're here visiting downtown or in the burbs, please do partake in

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Walnut Room Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Walnut Room Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at The Walnut Room Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Walnut Room Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
