“Thoughtfully creative yet approachable dishes in a cozy, casually refined contemporary bistrot...”

Thoughtfully creative yet approachable dishes in a cozy, casually refined contemporary bistrot atmosphere in which you can have an actual conversation without shouting--in other words, a fun rarity in the Chicago food scene worth a visit, and then a follow up to try everything you couldn't get the first time. Food was very good overall. Mussels were exceptional ans unique—fennel giardinera was inspired—and the cabbage was excellent. Lamb and chicken were both very very good, and perfectly cooked (though it should be noted the lamb was wrapped in a sausage layer, more sausage than pure lamb, which was a surprise, though still quite good). My table also had carrots and fries, both perfectly good, but neither particularly special like the other dishes. For dessert, we tried the cherry sherbet meringue, which was fine, interesting texture combination, though a bit one dimensional in flavor. And they have decaf espresso, which is always a plus.

Completely awesome, lived up to the hype. Expected to be bored by the chicken but it was excellent. Mussels and dessert especially stood out. Great service.

We enjoyed dinner at Creepies, with a few standout dishes such as the saucisson, gnocchi, gem salad, and butterscotch dessert. Service was very good, in fact exemplary once we got going. Seems like they team rather than own a table, the server who was with us about half the meal especially good. Mark it down one for atmosphere due to both the noise level and the lack of wind protection around the door. It is going to be very uncomfortable colder it gets, blowing right into the dining room. The large crowd waiting (which included us at some point) also makes the front room a little uncomfortable. No bar area for people to wait. Definitely recommend checking out the food and creativity but will only return if we can be in the second room.

“Super enjoyed Creepies!”

Super enjoyed Creepies!! It was hard to get a reservation so would definitely make one in advance. Perfect spot for a cozy date night or drinks with the girls. I would also love to bring my parents here. Great wine list of all natural wines. I am not as familiar with natural wine but our server made a great recommendation based on our preferences so we got a bottle! We asked the server to recommend to us the biggest hits based in combination with the most interesting dishes - he totally delivered! We started with the fluke tartare “gribiche” which had amazing and surprising flavor. Great dish on the lighter side to start considering the rest of the meal was indulgent. The sweetbread schnitzel was another highlight, which was completely brought to life by the sauce. A theme of the whole meal was amazing sauce. The roast chicken is a can’t miss. Perfectly cooked, moist, with the most flavorful and decadent sauce. We also had the escargot dish which was very approachable, creamy with lovely color on top. The gnocchi was so fun with the crispy layer of cheese on the top to offer another texture, super creamy and super soft. We finished up with the butterscotch dessert! Topped with a creamy citrus layer and a perfectly thin and delicate chocolate tube on the top. Perfect meal for winter, cheesy and delicious dishes. Atmosphere was great very buzzy and stylish decor. The branded plates were a fun touch. Will definitely be back!

Everything was incredible. Standout dishes were the Lamb, halibut, gnocchi, tart flambe, carrots, and brie. But everything was top notch

“I was SO excited to try Creepies and it did not disappoint in the slightest.”

I was SO excited to try Creepies and it did not disappoint in the slightest! We went for dinner and had the best time. Starting off with service, our server Inesse (Inez? so sorry if misspelled) created a very welcoming environment for questions, was attentive throughout all of service, and overall made dinner that much better. Next, food! I mean, everything was exquisite and I will 100% be coming back for the in-house made beer as a pairing with the gnocchi and halibut. Besides those three standouts, we tried a variety of plates and not one was a miss. Flavors were robust and everything was meticulously plated. We finished our meal with two of the desserts: pleasantly surprised by the butterscotch custard and could not get enough of the meringue cake. I will most definitely be coming back to try the baguette soft serve!

“Came to creepies for a birthday dinner.”

Came to creepies for a birthday dinner. I’m a chef from Ohio and was extremely excited. The bread & butter was so flavorful tho the bread was a bit tough, you’ll have that with baguettes. We also had the saucisson w/ puff pastry and it was probably the best thing I’ve eaten all year. The mussels were great, gnocchi lacked texture but had great flavor. Roasted chicken was cooked to perfection and so juicy. And the cabbage was to die for. Highlight of the night for me was Anna’s raspberry buttermilk cake. The meringue melted perfectly without getting tacky in your mouth and the dish over all was more tangy than sweet which I loved. I can’t wait to see this spot get a Michelin star. Well done
