Storyville

Storyville is a Cajun restaurant and bar in River North. The space has a rustic design, with dim lighting, exposed brick, and ornately framed screens shuffling through digital old photos of New Orleans hanging above red leather booths. But despite the comfy booths, the lackluster food makes it hard to want to stay in them. From the bland boudin balls to dry jambalaya to po’ boys that seem like they were just chucked on the plate, dishes are either flavorless or feel sloppily thrown together. The cocktails are fine, but aren’t enough incentive to make this place a priority.
