Relocated from Mississippi's Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina, Chappy's on Church presents New Orleans Creole cuisine with an elegant old-world flair featuring a hand-carved bar, stained glass and Parisian street lamps. The cheerful Chappy himself may grace your table with a warm greeting. The large, two-level upscale dining room seats 220 guests, with intimate curtained alcoves for smaller parties. The restaurant offers extensive dine-in and custom catering menus, including regional Gulf, Bayou and Swamp specialties, and a sparkling-wine brunch. Smoked alligator butter, milk-fed veal and gumbo are standouts.
