The cocktails were exceptional, and so was the jambalaya and pasta

Didn’t eat but the espresso martini was great and so was our waitress Jada!!

This is my 3rd time visiting storyville. They never disappoint. The food is impeccable, service is attentive and the atmosphere is vibrant. The chicken wings are a 10/10 drinks are strong and sweet. I honestly have never had a single complaint any time I’ve been. I highly recommend this wonderful location and all of their food and drink options!

Great experience. Great service!!! I’d come back here 100 times.

Staff was very friendly and food was pretty good

Jada was a super fantastic server. The food was fantastic. Jada made me feel like we were having a family experience!

The seafood skillet was delectable. Nice size shrimp and plenty of crayfish. The ettoufee sauce was also delicious and had a nice flavor. I recommend this dish.Jada was an awesome host!! Very attentive.

First time here! Jada took care of us. She was wonderful. So fun and kind! Shrimp and grits is 🔥🔥

Shoutout to Hannah for matching our vibe! Great drinks and a cozy, quiet setting. Cute interior

Donnie was amazing!!! I loved her energy and she made sure we were well taken care of! 100% recommend

I came here for my birthday and i just loved the vibe! Our waitress Donnie was on point!! She recommended great food and was super nice and patient with us even though we had a big group. If ur thinkin about date night or a bday dinner, this is definitely a good choice!!

Donnie is the best!

Donnie was amazing!! Celebrating a friend’s birthday and she took care of us all night. Great personality !!!

Donnie was amazing! Service was absolutely top tier. 10 out of 10

Donnie was an amazing host and server! We came for a birthday celebration and she made it an outstanding experience! I will definitely be back.

Donnie was a joy! She was very attentive, offered amazing suggestions for food and drinks! She brought smiles and laughter to our birthday celebration and made it special! I will definitely come back to experience this type of service again

Loved every bit of Donnie’s service! She’s a joy to work with! Definitely coming back just for her!

Donnie was attentive and fun, just what we love about finding new places. Add in great drinks and food - definitely will be coming back!

We loved Hannah! After having a terrible experience upstairs she saved the day. We told her how horrible the service and drinks were and she delivered 10x more and exceeded expectations

Hannah is amazing. She’s so sweet and has the best energy.

I love Hannah!! She eats down and she has such a nice vibe!!! Shoutout hannah you were so cute

Hannah was the best! We had her at Lulus and she provided great service. She accommodated my friends and made amazing drinks.

Hannah saved the night when Javier gave us the worst experience. She’s literally best!!!! She made the night 10 times better.

I always enjoy my time at STK, food is always great. Dana is a kind and attentive server!

Celebrating my birthday with family and everything was great! Food, service, atmosphere were wonderful. Looking forward to my next visit. Jayda was amazing!

Jada was the best ever! Truly the best service i’ve received in chicago! Delicious food. “Spicy” is not spicy it’s flavorful for the louisiana folk. Excellent service. Excellent Atomosphere. 10/10 my girl Jada got us good with endless mimosas.

Storyville just doesn’t miss! Everytime I come here they exceed my expectations. I tried their happy hour this time we got a marg, old fashioned, beignets, and chicken po-boys. The drink were great, as always. The beignets were good though I feel like they were missing some kind of sauce? But the chicken po-boys and fries were amazing so fresh, and seasoned to perfection, we will be back !

It was my friend’s birthday & she wasn’t a fan of the seafood gumbo - so they went above and beyond and got her two birthday desserts and presented them incredibly. The waiter was amazing. The place is super cool.My food was delicious.

We're down here at lulu's speakeasy hanging out with the best bartender we've had for our stay in Chicago, Hannah. She has been so sweet and attentive and the vibes down here are fantastic! Highly recommend.

Hannah was amazing. Checked on us and was soSweet. The food and drinks were 10/10 (try the red snapper)

Everyone is super nice, there was no cover and we got a table without booking and the drinks were good quality. Recommended

I asked for a stronger drink from Hannah it was the first drink I’ve gotten from a bar, it was amazing and she got me right! The vibe and ambience was really nice the low lighting and all. The music choice was very good and the food was chef kiss. The Cajun wings were very crispy tasted really well but they weren’t spicy. The gumbo was very good it was missing that soul but trust me when I say it was still very very good. The Fat Tuesday fries were my favorite thing I tried but I know that seems basic but if you want to eat the whole plate definitely order chefs kiss!

I came here for my sisters birthday and it was so fun! We went down to the speakeasy and had Hannah with the impeccable blonde hair and incredibly straight teeth (she makes amazing delicious drinks, between her and the product i was inspired to write this) i got the swamp king, gumbo, the fries, and beignets. I also had the bourbon street old fashioned upstairs served by someone with two small gold hoops who was absolutely gorgeous as well. Love the atmosphere and the people making it happen!

Came here for my daughter’s 25th birthday and it was definitely a vibe. Hannah was amazing and the drinks were on point. Will be returning for sure😊

We walked in before midnight and found this gem in River North that has an amazing ambience! Music was awesome, service was top notch! Thanks Hannah for a great service!!! ❤️❤️❤️

So great!! Hannah was our bartender she was the best bartender ever! Would recommend for a fun night out with friends!!!

It’s rare and cherished to get service at the caliber of Storyville. In addition the cuisine is premier eating. The seafood, po boys and shrimp were all phenomenal. Thank you Donnie and all staff for the congenial and convivial times! ⚜️

Hannah was great!

Hannah is the best bartender ever, I normally don’t converse with my bartenders but she was so friendly I loved our conversation. Will be back definitely

Went here for our bookclub to discuss a 1920 prohibition book. Hannah handled the busy speakeasy bar with no issues at all!! No doubt she would’ve handled the 1920s like a PRO!

Hannah was the best bartender, so accommodating and made INCREDIBLE cocktails! Highly recommend!

Hannah was 10/10!

My husband and I visited here over the weekend. We found Storyville online and wanted to give it a try. The New Orleans-inspired theme sparked our interest. Let me tell you we were not disappointed. The vibe in this place was exactly what our date night needed. I was slightly disappointed that there was no live music, as the website had mentioned Thursday-Saturday they had live music. It didn't take away from the fun we had, though. Jayde, the host, was extremely nice and made our visit super special. Her personality brought the hometown feel that we rarely find when we are in the city. She was a gem; she even stopped by our table to make sure everything was going well. Let me get to the food. My husband ordered the Steak Frites, and his steak was super tender and flavored very well. I had the Cajun pasta with honey cornbread. Everything we ate was amazing, and this comes from someone who has visited New Orleans. We talked on the way back to our hotel about how the food put New Orleans to shame. For dessert, we had beignets. They were very good, but this is where Cafe Dumonde in New Orleans takes the win. We highly recommend visiting Storyville, and have already planned a second visit, this time with a group of friends.

Went here to celebrate a birthday and it was very lovely. The food was delicious and the service was great! Try their cornbread, that was my favorite! I would totally recommend going there.

Super cool atmosphere, great friendly staff with some amazing food!! We couldn't have been happier with a random pick for a restaurant near our hotel. Will definitely be back for those awesome catfish nuggets.

Amazing service and great happy hour spot!!

If you’re looking for NOLA in the heart of Chicago this place is IT!

Food and drinks are very good, waitress Jada is very welcoming, nice and attentive. I highly recommend Storyville

Amazing food! Came here for their brunch menu on a Sunday and loved the atmosphere!! Jada, our server, was so sweet and accommodating. Highly recommend

Hannah was the most amazing bartender i hope she gets A raise!!!

Donnie J was THE BEST!! She was patient, attentive, knowledgeable, and her personality was AMAZING! She was an entire vibe!! The food and atmosphere was great!

This a dope place. Donnie was amazing. She was very sweet and attentive. She's a vibe!!

Donnie was theeeeeeeeee best!! So attentive and 5 steps ahead of us! Great suggestions and everything was bomb! Vegetarian options: . Dietary restrictions: . Parking: . Kid-friendliness: . Wheelchair accessibility: .

Donnie was amazing from start to finish! She was attentive and got the order of my bday party of seven down without error the first time! She has charisma and a stand out personality. The food was fresh, hot and delicious!! 10/10 across the board from me on my first visit for Brunch! Such a whimsical spot. I will most definitely be back and will request the services of Donnie!!!

My waitress Donnie was over the top!!!! Excellent customer service!!! Very on point with everything!!! She's the bomb!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

Donnie is an absolutely amazing server. The food was stellar, the drinks flowing and tasty. Vibe on point. Really could not have asked for a better experience!

DONNIE J WAS AMAZING!!! Best server we have had! The food, vibes and server 10/10!

We were running late for our reservation on a Friday night, and the staff at Storyville were SO accommodating. This was the beginning of a fantastic experience. We sat downstairs at Lulu’s (it is a little loud down there and the service is a little slow, but there’s just one bartender taking orders so it’s very understandable). The food?????? You guys. PHENOMENAL. Life changing, I might add. I had the mushroom po boy— my friend said that her burger was one of the best she’d ever had. The drinks were pricey, but the food was great bang for your buck in quality and quantity. The atmosphere is beautiful and vibey, the music fantastic, the staff friendly— I’ll be back. Thanks for a great time Storyville.

Excellent service, food was amazing! Drinks strong ! Will definitely be back

Donnie J Servers were great, food came quick and tasted delicious

Storyville was an amazing experience, my partner and I had a reservation and Donnie checked us is and was our server. She was kind, very approachable and welcoming. Presented us with excellent service and didn’t mind taking the time to clarify our order and checked to see if everything was up to our expectations. Big ups to donnie, the bartender and cooks.

Exquisite and the server was amazing Kid-friendliness: It's more for adult Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Donnie is such an amazing server. She made our night. Her bright smile and kind personality added such a beautiful vibe to the already well decorated establishment. She was kind, patient, and offered great suggestions. The hostess/manager for the evening was extremely accomodating and very helful. The music suggestion was the oerfect addition. We will definitely be back!

Donnie was an amazing server. She was attentive, fun, and had great service.

Is this my new go-to spot? It just might be! The food, the atmosphere, and the service are all a perfect 10/10. I’ve been here for both dinner and brunch, and each experience has been amazing! You might just see me here next week!

Donnie was fabulous!!!! Loved her as our waitress! If you come here, ask for her!

There are not enough nice words in the English dictionary to describe Donnie. Who energy is contagious and brings a bright light to anyone who dies at your restaurant. STORYVILLE was a staple of this community, and Donnie deserves all the praise. Jada on the other hand is a saint. There when you need her, and always willing to lend a helping hand. I WILL BE COMING BACK

Food was good. Sausages were especially good. Definitely try the sausages. However, the service was terrific. Donnie changed our brunch from a meal to a celebration. Great energy, timely service, very friendly. She was amazing!!! Jada was also amazing. Very kind and accommodating. A Shaq and Kobe like duo!! Thank you guys!

Hannah was our bartender and was 10/10. Was working alone downstairs and handled it with grace and professionalism! Drinks were good, vibes on point! Will be back!

Hannah is an awesome bartender!! Hope to come back here for the great experience!

OMG!! I came for a lil birthday celebration, reserved for 8. The atmosphere, food, and service was top tier!! It reminds me of being in NOLA... The live music was the highlight to me! The TV's showed a lot of NOLA history that I didn't know about. The basement has spoken word set and a bar while you wait to be seated. You have to reserve if you have a lot of guests. I'm definitely returning back to this location. I really enjoyed my experience here.

Went here for the first time and loved the cocktails and the po'boy! Our server Peyton went above and beyond! Such a cute spot!

Food, drinks, and service were all phenomenal! Payton was our server and she had the absolute BEST recommendations (espresso martini and catfish po boy). I will definitely be back!

Jada was a nice and the vibe was really pretty! This was the start of my birthday celebration and the Cajun pasta was some of the best I’ve had!! I also got a Violet Lady w/ cucumber vodka and it was so good! Will be returning when I’m in the city!
