This place is a complete vibe! The food is delicious and the drinks are 10/10. But the ambiance is the best part of the entire experience. We had dinner at Storyville and then moved for downstairs to Lulu’s for some after hours drinks and music. The period furniture and jazz music makes you feel like you’re in 20’s NOLA. Make this a must on your list of places to try. Shout out to Hannah for the amazing service!

This place is such a gem! My fiancé and I fell in love at first visit. Amazing food, and me being from New Orleans, I know good food. Everything was delicious. The vibe was great, and the staff were amazing. Thanks to Rocky, Edwin, and Ellison taking such good care of us. We will see you soon!!!

My best friend and I chose this restaurant because we love creole food to celebrate her birthday. The atmosphere was cute with a New Orleans theme. The food was delicious but not the best I ever had. We had the catfish nuggets, boudin balls, beignets, cajun pasta with shrimp and jambalaya with steak and shrimp and the banana foster was to die for. The drinks were ok and wished they were stronger. The service was decent. Overall a good dining experience.

First of all, Hannah was the most attentive and most pleasant server I have encountered in months! Storyville is an entire vibe. Quaint with all the New Orleans decor, delicious food, well crafted drinks (try the Paloma), and just a feel good time. 10/10 Sidebar: If you’re into rewards with OpenTable this place will score you 100 points.

The ambiance was cool, especially because our party ended up being seated downstairs in the basement with no other guests, so it felt exclusive lol keep in mind some seating provided is backless stools, so if you have back problems get a seat on one of the couches. I really enjoyed my food! I got the savory beignets which were so fluffy and had good flavor, and creamy linguini with chicken which, to me, had good flavoring as well. Our server Rocky was great! Very nice and personable and she has a great memory and got all our orders right... read moreThe ambiance was cool, especially because our party ended up being seated downstairs in the basement with no other guests, so it felt exclusive lol keep in mind some seating provided is backless stools, so if you have back problems get a seat on one of the couches.

Very nice and personable and she has a great memory and got all our orders right (party of 8) without writing anything down. She informed us, too, about the portrait of Lulu down in the basement. Only bad thing is that it was really cold in the basement. We asked them to turn the heat up and they did, but it didn't make a huge difference during the time we were there. I just kept my coat on. Overall great experience! read less

We had a great time this was my wife’s 40th birthday and we came from Philly to Chicago. It was an awesome experience the host Katey was the best, super friendly and made sure we got everything we needed, even got us a booth when my wife was cold. Totally awesome experience, highly recommended. Thanks Katey. ❤️✌🏾

Some friends & I wanted to check this spot out for Chicago Restaurant Week. I love the vibe & energy of this spot. I got there early so I sat at the bar while waiting for my friends to arrive. The bartender was super cool & friendly. Now let me get to the food. I ordered their catfish nuggets, jambalaya w/chicken & a couple of beignets. I must say that everything was delicious!

They ordered the linguine dishes. One added shrimp & the other added chicken to hers. The cocktails were tasty too. I left before the live band got started. I will definitely be back! Also they offer “Happy Hour” from 4pm thru 6pm. Not sure if this applies on weekends though. Definitely check this restaurant out. read less

The service was good, professional. Our table ordered cat fish nuggets, okra, fries, pasta, and gumbo. The best items were the nuggets, okra, and fries. I didn’t care for the main entrees (pasta and gumbo). I’ve never had a beignet, so not sure what to expect but it was like a funnel cake with a lot of powered sugar. Overall, the service was good, the apps were tasty, but the mains and beignets I wouldn’t recommend.

EDIT to update- wow, I am very impressed with their customer service. Sarah, their general manager, reached out, was apologetic for our experience, and she made it right for us. She explained that they are undergoing a revamp on their food and working to improve service as well. I feel very heard, appreciated as a customer, and I will definitely give them another chance. Thanks Sarah. We’ll see you in the new year. Original review- Went here based on the raving reviews. Very disappointed.

Thanks Sarah. We’ll see you in the new year. Original review- Went here based on the raving reviews. Very disappointed. I called to let them know we were running late for our reservation and the person on the end sighed, said "that's fine" and hung up. When we entered, we saw the hostess (assuming the same person who answered the phone) with the worst attitude. We asked for a booth but were told very rudely it was only for people with 3 or more. There were clearly multiple booths with only 2 people in them... but okay. Ordered appetizer and entree. Both came together - 45 minutes after we ordered. Got the savory beignets and the cajun pasta. The food was bland... especially the beignets. We were very disappointed. We paid, walked out, and went across the street to Moti Cafe and had meal #2. Less than 1/3 of the price there, great food, great service. read less

I would give this place 4.5 stars but its not an option. This spot can easily be 5 stars with slight changes. The decor is beautiful, its definitely a vibe. I didnt have any problem with the customer service. The food is not great. It's cajun, so you expect flavorful and savory, but was not. I would go back because the food isn't nasty, just bland. I will be bringing my own spices next time!!! The banana foster is a hit!
