The Marshall Field's Walnut Room

Set inside Macy’s on State Street, the expansive 17,000-square-foot dining room pairs its historic woodwork with Austrian crystal chandeliers, widely spaced tables, and window seating looking out toward the theater district. Menus lean into traditional comfort fare anchored by Mrs. Hering’s Chicken Pot Pie, alongside afternoon tea served beside a courtyard fountain under a glass skylight. Come winter, the space centers on the soaring 45-foot Great Tree, an annual installation crafted by artisans each season since 1907 that draws visitors from across Chicagoland.
