Alex is an amazing bartender! Always makes our night memorable 🙂 thank you Alex!!

Good ambiance, and Hannah our waitress was great!

Hannah and the banana fosters were amazing! 10/10 recommend!

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!

The food was amazing and being my first time in Chicago this was a memorable and enjoyable experience. Staff was very friendly. Hassan was an absolute delight and would go back again for his service!

Hassan was an amazing! He took care of us and really made our visit to Chicago a great one! Will DEFINITELY one back!

Hannah was a great server, accommodated us even when the hostess probably sent us down to Lulu’s when it didn’t have space.

Hassan was amazing with his fine self.

Hassan was awesome!!! Go see him. Food was amazing

Hasan was amazing, great customer service Good food and great vibe! I had a great time thanks Hasan until next time!

Visited from Georgia for my wife's birthday and we actually found this spot on Tictok stopped threw late night and vibed out it was playa.. Oh yea them drinks hit me across the head 💰 but cool place

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!!!

Alex made our night really fun

WE LOVE ROCKY… She was the only person on staff (her bartender was late) and our good sis still rocked. She didnt break a sweat. She still maintained a great attitude and was able to manage the entire restaurant solo. Her drinks >>>

Service, food, drinks, and romantic ambiance were amazing!! Vegetarian options: Fantastic options! Fried okra was amazing!!!!

Really intimate and sexy venue/ restaurant , there's also a really cool Speakeasy downstairs. Dope art on the walls and Montiors

I loved the drinks, food, and service. I only wish the place was a little bigger, but I had no complaints!

Great food and great service, thanks Allison and Rocky!

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.

Wow this place is lovely! Make sure to ask for Hassan when you come!

hassan was great, will definitely come back solely for the experience he provided

We had an absolutely fantastic time. The vibes and food were just what we were looking for! Hassan was great and took care of us, gave us the true hospitality touch.

Hassan was amazing! The food was excellent, I will definitely return in the future. Fingers crossed that next time they’ll have the Redfish or catfish available.

Very small but the atmosphere was really nice. It was a nice speakeasy ambiance and very laid back. I was in the basement (LuLu’s speakeasy) section and it was nice. Not a place I have to go back to.

Excellent Team, Hannah and Hassan

Racquel was awesome for us. We loved her

It was a great time! Hannah was a welcoming and friendly hostess and Hassan made amazing Negronis. I’ll be back

Great food and drinks. Rockies was an amazing server.

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.

Food was great and our waitress Rocky was amazing and so accommodating!!!

Rocky was amazing! The cocktails were great!

The food was delicious and Rocky was a fantastic server! This place made me miss NOLA.

Rocky was a great server! Good food and great ambiance.

Found Storyville on a Thursday night, came for food but once we seen the menu we couldn't leave. The cocktails are amazing and Hassan was so cool! Will be back forsure!

Hassan was great and very attentive and made great cocktails

Great service and great atmosphere. Rocky was a fantastic waitress!

very good!

Took a little get away to Chicago and had to try Storyville. Rocky was our server and she was amazing ♡ def finish off with the beignets. ♡

We had a great experience in the Lulu Chambre Privee with Hannah. Great food and service

Helped us remember our trip to New Orleans a pre-Covid. Staff is awesome, drinks are great, food is authentic, and atmosphere is great.

Amazing experience! Hassan was great, made great drinks was attentive and very personable 10 stars!

This was the first time my friends and I went to Storyville. We had a great time. The food, the drinks and the service by Hassan was awesome! We'll definitely be back...

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

Such a cool spot & great service!!

First time in Storyville, had a great experience thanks to our server Hassan. He made the experience even better. Nice and quiet atmosphere I highly recommend a visit.

wow! talk about exceptional! I went for a Sunday brunch. food was amazing. I love that they have vegan eggs and options too cause I dont eat regular eggs. Buffalo Chicken Waffle was GOOD

Amazing food, great ambiance and our server Hanna was excellent!

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. ❤️✌🏾

Amazing experience, will definitely be back! Amazing drinks and food, and the best service! If you go, ask for Hanna!!!!

The restaurant and our server Racquel were amazing. The food was on point and the servers went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. definitely on our list of places to return. if you havent been and are even considering then donyourself a favor and come. You won’t be disappointed.

The food was great! Service was great too - especially Rocky!

Rocky was great! Loved it and will be back!

I had never been … so thank God for restaurant week ! This place is really great. The food was delicious, the atmosphere is great, and Rocky took fantastic care of us. Will definitely be coming back.

The food was phenomenal, the savory beignets were a particular highlight. Hannah was our server and host and they were super on top of it even though the place was full!

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!

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 speak easy ambience was nice and the food was good. The drinks we had were just ok. Overall, we will be returning for dinner in the future.

Hassan made my birthday outing special !

Hassan’s service was EXCELLENT!!

The food was amazing, and so were the cocktails. The bartender Meka was so knowledgeable and funny. Will definitely come here again for the food but specially the cocktails

Hanna was a very sweet server Parking: Parking was very easy to get

Vegetarian options: Great cocktails!

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.

Rocky made this such a great experience. She’s super friendly and kind.

Great brunch spread, food was out very quickly

Food and drinks are good service is great great place to meet friends for night out Parking: Meter parking in trsmp he area Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp available

Parking: paid street parking

Amazing cocktails- great Sunday funday location- good music- great waitstaff and well balanced cocktails!

hannah was an amazing and sweet server! 10/10 years would come again for the atmosphere

The food was great, Hannah was an excellent waiter. I will be back, there’s so much more food to try!

Jazz music on videos. Loved the old time songs. Great customer service. Tried tastes of Cajun. Next time crawfish.

Great food and drinks! Limited beer selection, but the cocktails were tasty. Vegetarian options: A few dishes can be meat free.

Raquel was awesome!

Warm and welcoming atmosphere friendly waitress super nice

Had Racquel as a server- fantastic and attentive. Helped us pick out our drinks for brunch! (Wonderful Bloody Mary) Dietary restrictions: It certainly seemed like they had a little something for everyone!

Food was amazing, especially the bread pudding dessert 🙌🏼😋 Hanna and Meka downstairs in Lulus provided amazing service. Attentive & friendly. 10/10

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. I called to let them know we were running late for our reservation and the person... read moreEDIT to update- wow, I am very impressed with their customer service.

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

What a great spot with great music, drinks and vibes. Our server Meka was exceptional and made the evening even better.

We had an amazing time. Michelle, our waiter, was great. We had to tell her in the middle of our service that she has an amazing disposition. We wanted a white a Christmas so we came to Chicago to a blizzard! The food was great. Thank you guys for making Chicago so special.

Wonderful. Charming. Amazing staff and delicious food. Great vibes and jams!

Nolynn was a fantastic server. Friendly environment and great drinks!

Nolan was the best.! She is gorgeous and accommodating. It is not possible to enjoy yourself more than I did at Storyville.

The host Donnie was spectacular she made my stay dope!!

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!

Wheelchair accessibility: Nice

Food incredible & Sazaerac better than that! Highly recommended. Waitstaff attentive but doesn’t hover. Rocky took good care of us

Rocky was amazing with our group. Best experiences I’ve had in Chicago. Great food and great drinks!

We showed up with short notice and got great food and service. Thank you Rocky!

Rocky was great!!! Thank you so much for taking care of me 🖤🖤

Great New Orleans themed bar with craft cocktails and a small food menu. The place is very small so you'll need a reservation if you'd like to go or you'll have to get pretty lucky to get a seat at the bar. I'd recommend coming here for a drink before or after dinner.

Kind of a swanky vibe. Food was excellent. Staff was extremely pleasant & attentive. Parking: Parked in the lot a block away.
