Wooowwww! On 7/11/26 I came with my family plus relatives to this modern, classy atmosphere. The ambiance was calming plus comfortable, yet warm. The food was amazing, bar none! My relatives came in from out of town and ate in silence (which was a good thing). Safely to say they were impressed. Lastly, hats off to the employees! They were warm, friendly, yet professional. My Aunt, cousin plus myself ordered shrimp and grits and our plates were clean once we were done. The others ordered wonderful dishes that looked scrumptious as well. Wished I could rate this place 10/10 but only allowed 5 stars. Well done, Mr. Chase! Well done. read more

This place deserves to be rated high for its EXCELLENT culinary service! Not surprising at all as Chef Edgar "Dook" Chase is simply skilled in Creole cuisine and it shows through this gem. The ambiance was something amazing and each artwork told a unique story and brought an art gallery vibe across the restaurant. Great staff and very friendly team. Our waitress Kierra was so sweet and attentive, such great hospitality. The coffee was brewed to my loving. Ummm NOLA has some of the best coffee and this place lived up to the hype. FOOD I had the fish and grits and honestly, this was the BEST fish and grits I've EVER had. I need to break down each component to help you understand the magic. 1-The fish was fried to perfection, crispy and golden brown on the outside with a flaky juicy texture inside. 2-Next was the crawfish and andouille maque choux placed on top of the fish. Baby when I tell you that if they sold this online I would be their biggest customer. It was sooooooooooo scrumptious. WOW! Literally no comparison to this. 3-Lastly the grits...whatever culinary magic they used for this dish did not stop at the fish or the maque choux, no, it ran down to the grits-the most creamiest and delicious ever had. I added a biscuit on the side as a compliment but honestly, everything was incredible. We also had the BEST chicken and pancake ever and once again there is no comparison to how AMAZING the food here truly is. Add it to your must visit list! read more

Chapter IV - Southern Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

A group of friends and I had brunch at this restaurant owned by Dook Chase. We were excited to dine here and get a taste of what New Orleans has to offer. I ordered a Lychee Blossom cocktail. It had a mild flavor incorporating Prosecco and elderflower. It was okay. For my meal, I ordered the Fried farm raised catfish, crawfish & andouille maque choux creole grits. My food lacked the flavor I was looking forward to. Not sure that I would dine here again for breakfast. Maybe I will give dinner a try. The best thing I had was my Arnold Palmer drink. The server was very good and made recommendations from the menu. read more

Amazing shrimp and grits, service was amazing and the atmosphere is very pleasant. We made reservations online and arrived prior to opening by a few minutes, but they allowed us to wait inside due to the rain and heat. That was a very nice gesture and set the tone for the rest of the visit. The menu had your traditional breakfast fare, such as bacon, eggs, pancakes. But I wanted shrimp and grits and I was not disappointed. The grits were creamy, flavorful, and I did not turn into a liquid mess once cool. Shrimp is deveined (YES!!!!) and it's a nice size portion. This restaurant is definitely on my list of New Orleans favorites. I'd like to return to try their other menu items. Do yourself a favor and go there ASAP! read more

Located on a cute little street. You walk in to a small quaint restaurant. The hostess at the door greeted us and asked if we had reservations. So I assume you can make them in advance. Luckily; we didn't need it at the time for lunch. The waitress was attentive, polite and pleasant. I love the extra attention to filling my water glass. The food came in pretty fast and was delicious. You can pay via the QR code on the receipt which was seamless. Overall, Greta dining experience read more

The staff were great My old fashion was perfect! The ambiance is loud. The bathroom was clean Our 12:30 reservation was halted because it started raining and the power went out. We we to another spot and then was called back that the power came back on. Whew came for Saturday brunch to celebrate a birthday. Party of 20. I got the chicken sandwich with sauce and pickles on the side. The sauce was sweet and so are the pickles. Not a fan of sweet pickles. I didn't finish it because it was just bland, fried well though. I did try my partners chicken and pancakes which I should've gotten. Pancakes were crispy edged and fluffy but th chicken wasn't seasoned‍ so maybe a no to that as well. Other than that, everything was good. I may come back to try something else‍ I ordered the sandwich due to the reviews here on Yelp. You guys steered me wrong read more

My first time brunching in New Orleans and I'm glad it was at the beautiful location Chapter IV. This spot is walking distance from the Saints football stadium and Pelicans basketball stadium which is perfect for people who want to indulge in good food and sports. When we walked in we were greeted by manager Erin who was so nice and felt like a friend from home. The interior was lively, with a bar and tv for those who want to watch the games. Our waiter Jena was very helpful and gave us the best recommendations. My husband and I loved her! We ordered the following: Brunch champagne mimosas special, Oyster Rockefeller, Crab fried rice, Crab cake, Gumbo, Bbq shrimp omelette, Seafood pasta, Bread pudding. Every single thing was so full of flavor and delicious. The drinks were hitting, and the gumbo and bbq shrimp omelette were my fave! But the very best thing on the menu was the bread pudding...OMG my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Come to find out this Black owned establishment is the son of Dooky Chase restaurant. It's great to see how much African American culture is celebrated here on the walls with the beautiful pictures. I can't wait to come back and also I hope to check out the original Dooky Chase restaurant one day! read more

Chapter IV was one of the best dining experiences I had during my recent trip to New Orleans. The restaurant is owned by Chef Dion Chase, grandson of the late great Leah Chase. I had them bookmarked on Yelp, but one of the local drivers said they have some of the best gumbo so I knew I had to see for myself. I called prior to arriving to inquire if they would be able to accommodate a party of 6 and was told to come on in. The restaurant is bright and modern. The menu has a good mix of Louisiana staples as well as some other stand out dishes. I wanted to taste a bit of everything, so I ordered the gumbo, sweet chili wings and ribs and the oysters Rockefeller. The gumbo was fantastic! I wish I could've taken some back home, lol. The sweet chili wings and ribs were a favorite amongst our table. The meat was a bit crisp and tender on the inside. The oyster Rockefeller was good too. The oysters were fried, places on top of creamed spinach and topped with pickled red onions. One dish amongst the group was sent back, but overall everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Our server was outstanding! She was so personable and even recommended some other places to check out during our stay. read more

Make a reservation for brunch. They had same day time slots available! Otherwise we were quoted 1 hour wait or so, but it ended up being less. Walkable from the edge of the French Quarter. It's in a random spot with not much around it? Got seated around 1pm or so and it actually emptied out quite a bit... Shrimp and grits ($22) which was a good portion. Tried some of the gumbo ($12), which was good. I enjoyed and would recommend to people visiting New Orleans read more

Chapter IV is opened by Chef Dook Chase and his wife Gretchen. It's named for Dook being fourth generation of his family, and this being fourth restaurant under his operation. Aside from his culinary training in Paris, he also trained for a lifetime under his grandmother, Leah Chase - who is the owner of the famous restaurant, Dooky Chase where many celebs including Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama have dined in. I didn't know about the history till after my visit (and seeing Chef Dook Chase's name on the door), but regardless, I still had an amazing meal. Chapter IV is located under the new apartment complex Thirteen15 and has street/meter parking. The space is minimal and welcoming, with very nice artworks hung around the restaurant. STARTERS: - Oyster Rockefeller: Crispy fried oysters on creamed spinach, topped with pickled onions and jalapeños. This isn't your average Rockefeller oysters because the slight twist is, it isn't on the shell and it's deep fried. The crispy fried oysters gave a light salty taste with a crispy texture to it, but the pickled onions and jalapeños were semi-sweet giving the right balance of flavor to it. Probably one of my favorite ways of a cooked oyster. - Sweet Chili Wings & Ribs: The wings and ribs are cooked in sweet chili, soy sauce, ginger and garlic. We ordered this because my mom has a new allergic reaction to seafood and this was something she could eat since the oysters were no good for her. So glad we ordered it because the flavor is so good. It's not spicy at all and more of a sweet & spicy flavor to it with a very subtle ginger taste that just brings out the flavor in it. Literally finger licking good, because that's what my mom and I were doing after eating it. FOOD: - Seafood Linguine: My cousin ordered this and it is squid ink linguine with lump crab, shrimp, peas and mushrooms. He allowed me to try his dish and the pasta is creamy and cooked al dente, and the shrimp is nice and plump. Definitely something I'd get next time! It's also his favorite - he says it's the best squid ink pasta he's had. - Grilled Redfish: I ordered this as a recommendation from our waitress and it was delicious. The fish has a nice flaky texture to it and perfectly pan-fried with that charred outer layer. It's served over a bed of crab fried rice and a side of yellow and zucchini squash. The perfect veggies as a side to my carbs. - Filet Mignon: The only meat option on the menu aside, my mom enjoyed her steak. It was served with some crispy Brabant potatoes, creamed spinach, and garlic butter sauce. This tender steak was cooked perfectly medium rare. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and our waitress was amazing too - she consistently came by to check on us and filled our water cups. Definitely a place worth coming back to next time! read more

Went on a Monday and easily found parking right out front. The food came out hot and well-seasoned, and our server was friendly and attentive. The ambiance was bright, clean, and modern -- a nice touch for a casual meal. I do wish they offered a small birthday treat like an ice cream scoop, but overall the experience was enjoyable. The BBQ shrimp was especially flavorful and a standout dish. The crab fried rice, however, could be improved with jasmine rice and a touch of soy sauce, as it was my least favorite item. Still, I'd definitely come back. read more

Everything at Chapter IV is a 10/10. This spot hittts all things Southern and NOLA. The cocktails are on point, the grits are perfection, the gumbo is authentic, and honestly every dish I've tried has been packed with flavor. Some of my personal favorites: * Gumbo * Shrimp & Grits * Redfish * Chicken & Pancakes * Espresso Martini * Mimosas The ambiance is great--cool artwork, clean bathrooms, and a fun, lively vibe. The staff is consistently warm, attentive, and passionate about the food and menu. Every visit, Chapter IV has held the same high standard, which is why I always recommend it to anyone visiting NOLA. Bonus points: there are TVs by the bar for Saints games on Sundays, and street parking nearby is usually easy to find (except during Sunday home games). Your meal here won't disappoint!! read more

The atmosphere really stood out: airy, bright, and inviting, with exposed windows that create a light, open feel.

Portions were generous, prices were reasonable, and the staff was attentive and on point throughout the entire meal. Will definitely go again! read more

Came here for a birthday brunch. It was busy on a Sunday but the service was still good especially with our large party. The place itself isn't very big and has a casual vibe. Now let talk about the food. I'm going to be honest it just wasn't it for me. We had the crab cake appetizer and it was literally one crab cake and I didn't like it. Wasn't awful but it was too bready I guess, too thick and definitely needed more sauce. Then for my meal I had the oysters Benedict, which visually so pretty, looks amazing but it was just bland. Idk how but they need to work more flavor into that, maybe do something to the hollandaise because the potential is there with that dish. My sister had the chicken and pancakes which was actually very good, delicious pancake and chicken but just not something I'd go back for. We ordered the mimosa for the table which came with a bottle of prosecco and 3 juices. Based on what I had I don't see myself going back but at the same time I gotta support our black businesses so I am willing to try it again and maybe get something else. read more

Beautiful spot! I made Friday lunch reservations for 2 through Resy. Street parking was available. There is paid parking on the left side of the street and free parking on the right side. We were seated at bar table with an outside view. The decor was beautiful but our high table was wobbly. Our server was a nice young lady. She made a great suggestion for mocktails. We went with the Leah's Garden. It was sweet and delicious. We started with the Thai Chili Ribs and Wings. These were good. 3 wings and 3 ribs. For our entrees we both went with the grilled redfish served with crab fried rice and yellow and green zucchini. This dish was just okay. The fish was seasoned well but the crab fried rice was a big let down. It tasted like boxed rice with carrots and added piece of crab. The zucchini lacked flavor. Overall, great atmosphere. I'd probably return to try more appetizers and brunch. read more

Such a beautiful restaurant with AMAZING food! The only reason, and I mean ONLY reason I knocked off one star is because the service was a bit slow. The restaurant is minimal and gorgeous, I really loved the artwork. We all enjoyed our food, and wish we had another day in New Orleans to go again and enjoy another dish on the menu. For food, you have to get the shrimp and grits. THEY WERE SO GOOD. The grits were creamy and yummy. The taste of the shrimp My man got the chicken and pancakes - also very good. I really enjoyed the pancakes. We also loved the bread pudding, especially the crispy edges! If you're in New Orleans, you have to try this spot out! read more

I love this place real bad. My mom, brother and I went there for Mother's Day, was unaware that there was a modified menu until we got there. Was sort of disappointed at first because I wanted their Squid Ink Pasta but the fish and grits did not disappoint. The fish was hot and crispy and the grits were so creamy. Our server, whose name I forgot, was very pleasant and patient, especially since another person in our party was late. The restaurant in itself is really nice. The whole ambiance is laid back and refreshing. I recommend this place to anyone who asks about brunch. Definitely can't wait to visit again.

About 3.75 stars. This is high class southern cuisine. There is plenty of customers even during lunch. There is one menu for lunch and dinner. Basically is sandwich, small plate, shareable, soup and entree. They do have cocktails on reverse side of menu. I am here for the blackened redfish. I have it extra blackened with crab fried rice as a bed and stir fry squash. The blackened redfish is delicious. We also got a shareable for crawfish and Andouille corn Maque Choux. This is creamy corn crawfish andouille sausage. It great dish. Service is a bit mixup. But got corrected. read more

Me an my cousins visited New Orleans for the weekend to celebrate on of my cousin birthday. We stopped by a few of our usual spots and tried some new ones, and Chapter IV was the last restaurant on our list. We definitely saved the best for last. The service was excellent!!! Friendly staff, smiling faces, and very attentive throughout the whole meal. The establishment itself is beautifully decorated and very classy. It was truly a breath of fresh air. You can tell the owner and staff pay close attention to detail, from the fresh flowers on the tables to the presentation and flavor of the food. The atmosphere is a 10/10. The music plays lightly in the background at the perfect volume, making it easy to enjoy a conversation without having to raise your voice. The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. This restaurant truly stands apart from the rest. We will definitely be back read more
