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 homemade cinnamon rolls were absolutely divine. These are served only on Sundays and would recommend to any cinnamon roll enthusiast.

    This restaurant continues to be the most remembrance of wonderful traditions many have going back generations. The environment is welcoming and beautiful. The food was better than I remembered having before. So delicious. The pace was relaxed and just ideal!

    The crusted chicken and pot pie were delicious. Serve hot right from the kitchen. Our server was friendly and checked on us several times to ensure we were satisfied with our meal.

    Classic dining room unfortunately almost empty on a Friday evening. Only 6 tables so service was great and everyone got a key window view. Was able to order the Field’s Special off menu and it was as great as always. Charcuterie board was a hearty starter. Cocktails were in tiny glasses but strong and no huge blocks of ice. Finishing off dinner with Frango Ice Cream pie was great. Jose our server was amazing with great service and suggestions. He clearly has been there for years.
