It means that the plan for walking to the restaurant is no longer valid. Something happened to make walking to the restaurant impossible.

"I was planning on buying my parents a trip to Hawaii for their anniversary, but my siblings will not help me pay for it. So much for going to Hawaii." (The plan is no longer possible)

It means it is not a good idea to walk to the restaurant.
We thought it was possible before but now maybe there is a big storm or maybe we are a tourist and see a big expressway that we can't cross or someone has uncomfortable shoes etcetera.
'so much for' is an idiom.
