Downtown Chicago Restaurants

Honestly one of the most incredible meals we’ve had in a while! The food was exquisite and the atmosphere was lively 🤍

We love the Walnut Room and are especially fond of the short rib and, of course, Mrs. Haring's Chicken Pot Pie. We find it a perfect pre-opera dinner spot.

We loved our server, but I think there were only 2 for the whole restaurant, and the kitchen was a little slower than we'd expected, and one of our party was late and we waited for her to order. Our friends barely made their 7pm concert. Fortunately, our show didn't start until 730. The food was outstanding, as were our mocktails (the Farmer's Daughter and Coconut Butterfly) and cocktails, 2 Black Manhattans. 3 of our party ordered the 3-course pre-theater meal and the portions were a little large, but if we did it again they might share one, but the both the chicken and the salmon were delicious and beautiful. Because of the tight timing 2 of our party didn't have time to enjoy the gelato that came with their meal before they had to run, which was a little disappointing, but meant that I got to have chocolate gelato, and it was lovely and a perfect portion. The odd one out, I ordered the Boursin dates with bacon to share - yum! - and the fried chicken appetizer, which was more than enough for an entreé, especially when my friends shared their excellently roasted Brussel sprouts with me. We love Roanoke. It's location is perfect for dinner before a show, and the area is still busy after the show, so parking nearby is easy, too.

This was my second time visiting this wonderful restaurant. The food, service, sommelier, bus staff, and management were all amazing. The sommelier (I’m kicking myself for not remembering his name), went above and beyond when he saw that I was trying to clean a stain off of my blouse. He showed up with a tide pen. I had no idea he noticed! Attention to detail is comparable to restaurants mentioned in books such as Unreasonable Hospitality. I’m completely impressed and so appreciative. I can’t wait to go back the next time I visit Chicago. Thanks for making our night out a complete and individual experience.

Very accommodating, super location from nearby attractions - good for after work too. Nice menu- something for everyone.
