Storyville is a beautifully decorated, quaint space with moody, dim lighting that sets a great atmosphere. However, the experience was a bit of a mixed bag.
The andouille sausage étouffée was incredibly flavorful, but the proportions were unfortunately way off, there wasn’t nearly enough sauce for the amount of rice provided. This made the dish feel a bit dry toward the end. In general, portions here tend to be on the smaller side, so keep that in mind if you are arriving with a large appetite. On the plus side, the cornbread was absolutely delicious and likely the highlight of the meal. We finished with the sweet beignets, which were fine, but didn’t quite steal the show like the cornbread did.
I ordered a dirty martini which was served perfectly chilled and tasted great. Oddly, it was served without any olives. I had to flag someone down to ask for them, which felt like a strange oversight for that specific drink. It took a moment to get the server’s attention, which added to the slightly disjointed feeling of the service that evening. While the staff was polite once reached, the attention to detail on the classic cocktail components was lacking.
The aesthetic of the restaurant is its strongest suit, making it a nice spot for a quiet date or a drink if you prioritize ambiance. However, given the price point and the portion sizes, it wouldn’t be the first place I’d recommend in the area. It is worth eventually going to experience the decor, but there are more consistent options nearby if you are looking for a hearty, traditional Cajun-inspired meal.

As a Louisianian, when traveling, every city claims to have “Louisiana flavor” food. We celebrated my birthday at Storyville. We had a blast and the food was delicious! We ordered several different plates to get a taste of everything…and everything was well seasoned.
We had:
Fried Okra
Gumbo
Pasta Jambalaya
Cajun Linguini
Chicken Wings

Stumbled on this place when looking for a last minute brunch plan and it did not disappoint! We decided to sit at bar instead of waiting for a table since we didn’t have a reservation, the staff was friendly and inviting, especially our bartender Chantel, who was really sweet and attentive. The food was so flavorful, the portion sizes were huge and everything came out hot and fresh.
Planning to check out the speakeasy on my next visit!

I’ll definitely be coming back! Donny was such a great and welcoming host. Donny and I recommend to get the southern redfish, fried. The atmosphere was fun, relieving and an escape from a long day walking.

All around great! Service, food, price, and atmosphere was awesome. We went for brunch right at 11 on a Saturday. I would definitely make a reservation as it really fills up quick and I can definitely see why! We ordered biscuits and gravy (best I’ve ever had) and bananas foster. Highly recommend!

They allowed my fiancé and I to come in a little early to the speakeasy for our engagement photo shoot. The staff were absolutely wonderful and accommodating and we truly appreciated them for letting us do this. The speakeasy is the perfect vibe that we were hoping for, dark and moody with some older charm. Drinks were also fantastic!

Happy Hour is a must!!! You definitely bang for your buck with good portions. I enjoyed the okra and savory beignets. Red beans and rice were a nice comfort food. It’s not a dish I would get each time, but worth trying if you want some warm goodness. I highly recommend the frozen hurricane!

Don’t listen to the bad reviews, I’ve been here almost 4 times and each time is better then the last. We tried the savory beignets , catfish nuggets, creamy Cajun linguine, and jambalaya and everything was amazinggg. The drinks were perfect as well. And The service is impeccable. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago !

First time visiting Storyville and we had a great time. The cocktails are awesome and they are alone worth a visit. I had the Cajun Linguine with Andouille Sausage which was quite tasty. Add in LuLu’s bar downstairs, which is a chill place to hang, and Storyville might be the best kept secret in River North.
