You will feel like you’ve died and gone to heaven, as my grandma used to say, (no pun intended here). You absolutely must try the gumbo - it’s fabulous!! Their dishes and their décor are inspired by New Orleans, but they definitely have a unique Chicago flair. Every dish comes beautifully displayed, but you’ll probably be digging in so quickly that you may forget to notice. Try a combo platter on your first visit so that you can get a sample of a few of their specialties. And, ask for a doggy bag before your plate is half-empty, that way you can save room for a delectable dessert. Key lime pie, pecan pie or New Orleans style chicory coffee are good choices. This place is in my top 5 Chicago faves because their food ambiance and customer service are all top notch!
