My wife and I had an outstanding experience at Coterie Restaurant & Oyster Bar during our visit to…read moreNew Orleans. We started with the Boudin Balls and the Crab Au Gratin. The Boudin Balls were cooked perfectly--light and crispy on the outside with a warm, soft, flavorful center. The remoulade paired wonderfully with them. The Crab Au Gratin was absolutely delicious and came in a surprisingly large portion. Packed with crab meat, melted cheese, and served with garlic toast, it could easily be a meal all on its own. One thing that really stood out was that Coterie happily split a po'boy for my wife and me. Many places insist on one sandwich per person, so this level of hospitality was greatly appreciated. For our main course, we ordered the Extra Napkins Po'Boy with a little beef gravy. Why? Well... beef gravy! We had to try it, and we're glad we did. It was incredibly tasty, well-prepared, and once again, the portion size was very generous. A special shoutout goes to Jena, our server. It was incredibly hot outside, and she was fantastic at recommending food and drink pairings to match the weather. My wife and I lingered over our appetizers, and when the rain rolled in, Jena returned with an entirely new set of recommendations to fit the rainy atmosphere. She was kind, attentive, quick, and provided truly predictive service--always seeming to know what we needed before we asked. And as a final touch, the handcrafted cocktails were the cherry on top of an already amazing dining experience. Highly recommend Coterie Restaurant & Oyster Bar, and if you have the chance, ask for Jena!

Highlights: - Catfish bites - really good flavor. Small little nuggets of nicely breaded catfish. - Taste of New Orleans - I chose this because I wanted a sampler dish that had a little bit of everything. It had beans & rice, Gumbo, Etoufett, and Jambalaya. My favorite was the Jambalaya. I was glad to have tasted all of them in one dish. If I went back, I would just get the Jambalaya and either more catfish bites or sauteed shrimp.

My group was positioned near the stage, so we heard all the music - though that did drown out our conversations. That said, we had a blast, and so did the people around us! The food was also quite nice - the shrimp po boy was solid, alligator bites were wonderful, but the boudin - absolutely magical. It had a wonderful char and an unforgettable great spice blend, making it the highlight of my dinner. I'd order a second of those boudin links if I could. Overall, an enjoyable experience - just be prepared for some loud music if you're wanting to chat with your party.

We were so glad we chose to dine here and enjoy our meal. The restaurant is open and spacious, great for celebrating your special occasion with friends and family, without feeling too cramped.

Our Server Michael was wonderful and told us about the specials and a few recommendations that were tempting enough for us to try.

The Bourbon Streetcar was a good cocktail-strong, but refreshing-both times. Foodwise, the Warm Skillet Cornbread was surprisingly good, while Garlic Parmesan Baked Oysters were excellent. The Swordfish Piccata was good-the Piccata part with arugula, lemon and capers the highlight-imagine what looks like a breaded pork chop, but a firm, large swordfish fillet. Louisiana Crab Cannelloni was enjoyed by several at the table. Finally, the Crab Mac and Cheese was a tasty side.

The oysters themselves were fine, not the best I've had but they did the job. We couldn't hear any music at all while we were sitting at the bar, I think music was upstairs. The lady behind the bar was slightly rude but I'm assuming it was towards the end of her shift. My suggestion: I'm sure y'all are used to late night party goers and drunk people but don't let the quality of service die down even if it's towards the end of the night. It would be great to be able to hear music on the main floor as well.

Bathrooms were clean except for a couple pieces TP. We tried their chargrilled oysters. I had an apple jack to wash them down.DELISH. I saw a small group of guys with po boys.

The service was so top tier everyone was so kind and a pleasure to converse with. 3lbs of crawfish at market price averaged around $16 per pound 3lb required $48. The spice was spicing and the flavor was bold without being overpowered with butter and oils. This quick fix before dinner satisfied my crawfish craving. If you are in the area and fave tje extra revenue to spend I would definitely give this place a go. The ambiance is aesthetically pleasing and the live entertainment was a bonus. $$$$

I started with the corn and crab bisque, which was very flavorful and had a generous amount of crab meat. For my main, I kept it simple with grits, scrambled eggs, potatoes, and a biscuit. Everything was excellent; the grits were creamy and well seasoned, the eggs were scrambled perfectly, and the biscuit was so soft it practically melted in my mouth. If you're in New Orleans and want a good, authentic breakfast or brunch spot that isn't overly crowded and is easy to get into, I'd definitely recommend Chapter IV.

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!
