Chapter One: the modern local

The sisig fries are amazing, it's definitely authentic when it comes to the sisig , the pork cheeks is what makes it. It's like Filipino carne asada fries . Great happy hour and a great deal.

Got the skin fried chicken with risotto ! Really tasty! Everything is a bit on the pricey side tho. 12+$ very hipster place and very dim lighting for dinner . Had to use my phone light to read menu!

Crazy good. The pork fries were loaded with different flavors. Go before 7pm and the appetizers are half price. Wine Wednesday ... half off a bottle PLUS a free bottle of champaign . Yes please!

Second time here and the food was better than the last time. Calamari with curry was lightly fried and delicious. Lentil salad was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The cocktails were perfect!

Everything I had was delish! Moscow mule was best I've ever had. Hangover helper was exactly that! Friends also enjoyed chilequiles, donut burger , and Texas sos.

Pork Belly on a Chinese type bun is a true Masterpiece! And those craft Beers they have on tap make it the best Chapter in my book ! ????

Great food. Crowded for only being 7:00, but I found seats at the full food service bar with my girlfriend. The twice baked potatoe was to die for.

It's a touch loud , but best playlist I've heard in awhile. Cocktails knocked my socks off--the flavors, presentation, & creativity were off the charts. Get here. Soon.

The fried Cornish hen with kale and jalapeño grits was out of this world amazing! Go on Wednesdays for half off a bottle of wine , free bottle of champagne and live jazz :)

Great food, ambiance, and music . Dinner on Wine Wednesday was more than reasonable with a half-off bottle of wine . Nightly specials seem good; will come back soon (in a cab)!

Nice atmosphere, drinks and food! Wish the live music was a little quieter since I was catching up with a friend, but overall a great time!

Lot of great menu options, definitely try the Jalapeno Poppers . The burger was messy but delicious - just ate with a fork ????

Find tasty and creative culinary creations at Chapter One! Bacon-wrapped steaks , Panna cotta , Greek kataifi, and more. Voted Best New Restaurant in OC Weekly's Best of 2011 Issue.

Bacon Mac n Cheese + fish-n-chips. Perfect sharing meal. Chimay! Eatingoutwithandrew.tumblr.com

Had a great dinner ended up hanging out for over two hours without even realizing it. Beer selection was fantastic. Will definitely be returning.

Great cocktails and Moscow mule . Great drink menu and lots of craft beers and more. Terrible food - just avoid the foods :p

This place is amazing. Daniel is being a downer. The entire menu is filled with delicious foods. The drinks are out of this world. The service and atmosphere are grade A. Can't wait for my next meal.

Skirt steak , duck fries , Mac and cheese . Stick with those as they are outstanding. Loud loud loud but damn the music is fantastic! Frank, Dean, Buble.

Try the Whiskey & Coke - Black pepper sponge cake , coke foam, whiskey ice cream , unconched chocolate . Where ever you need to drive from....do it. This will be worth it.

Not sure what Daniel is talking about but I've been a few times since they've opened. The food, drinks, & service all make it worth the visit. Go with the fish and chips ! Different and delicious.

Try the The Dude - Chocolate donut covered with chocolate love, vodka whipped cream , shaved chocolate and coffee beans. Literally....perfect

The specialty cocktails are the most unique drinks I've seen in years. You've got to try their take on the Moscow Mule , Druid Divination or Holiday in Cambodia .

Great local spot for casual , albeit tasty concoctions . The cucumber cocktail is on point.

Say hi to Uncle James and go in with the right attitude of fun. The place is one of my favorites right now.

Get the White Chocolate Rum Bread Pudding ... it's not on the menu but our waitress recommended it. CRAZY good!!!

All the food looked amazing, the burger was almost too big for my mouth! ????

They are so friendly and they know what they are doing and serve very well . Thanks alot!

Wednesday nights are great. Bottle wine is half price. Always interesting people to talk with who become friends. See you there.

The banana bacon bourbon dessert is mind-blowing. You will be upset when it's all been devoured.

Apparently, even though "snacks " are listed as half off during Happy Hour , not everything on the snack menu is half off during Happy Hour . Like everything I ordered.

Portobello Napoleon is an amazing vegan option !

Good place, nice atmosphere...tried old chub draft beer and i loved that!

Duck fat fries are delicious as are the assortment of Moscow mules on their drink menu.

Best tip is not listening to a word this guy Daniel is saying. Salmon Nachos , Elvis and Culotte are must haves. Great atmosphere.

One of the first places to start serving Moscow Mules before everyone else.

Amazing place! Great drinks, food and staff ! The manager, Chris kicks ass!

Food is served till 1AM every night w/ the "Late Night Kitchen" menu starting 11PM-close. Great alternative to your typical after hours dining options.

Try a Irish Mule (Mule made with whiskey ) - such a treat !

Go on Sundays for brunch ! It's a blast! Endless Champagne flights!

Delicious Moscow Mule and Cucumber Cocktail !

The drink selection is not common which is great, you must try the Dude!

Delicious mezcal cocktails .

Loveee their mac&chz. Not too salty and a great blend of artisan cheeses !

They have. Holiday In Cambodia and a California Über Alles, what's not to like?

Great craft cocktails and delicious food!

Duck fat fries , burgers and beer are damn good.

I know the guys who started this place. Give them a chance. The place looks great and the menu looks delicious.

Buster Bluth would love this place. Unlimited juice with bottomless mimosas !!

The Lamb Burger and Duck Fries will renew your faith in humanity. Highly recommended.

Be careful with the drinks the can really mess them up a Gin Tonic here is not a Gin tonic anywhere else. They have strange drinks here. Don't try the blood Mary way toooo salty!
