Restaurants

A Chicago Tradition. The world-famous Walnut Room was the first restaurant ever opened in a department store.

Get a glimpse of the famous Great Tree and if you’re hungry, stay for lunch. A Chicago landmark since 1907, the classic restaurant is a holiday tradition for many in its own right — you can still order Mrs. Hering’s famous chicken pot pie, which dates all the way back to 1890.
