⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4 out of 5 stars)

Despite our plane landing later than expected, we managed to make our dinner reservation at The Court of Two Sisters. We felt bad that the hostess told us we were the last table of the night and that guests that showed up shortly after were sent away. After we reached the second host stand, the gentleman said we had a choice of sitting in the dining room or out in the well-lit courtyard. The service was above and beyond (Thanks Angela P.). The food and drinks were delicious.

For drinks, some of us ordered award winning cocktails including the Bayou Bash and Hurricane, while others shared a bottle of The Court of Two Sisters Chardonnay. All were great choices.

The Bayou Bash consisted of a blend of whiskey, fruit juices (e.g., orange, cherry, and pineapple juices), grenadine, sweet and sour mix, and a splash of red wine and garnished with orange wedge and a blueberry. It reminded my mom of a fruity red sangria.

The Hurricane consisted of a blend of rum, orange juice, grenadine, and sweet and sour mix and garnished with orange wedge and a maraschino cherry. It reminded me of a spiked punch.

The Court of Two Sisters Chardonnay was light, juicy, and fruity.

For food, we ordered a Lump Crab Cake, Creole Seafood Gumbo, Arugula Salad, Blackened Alligator, Trout Amandine, Louisiana Catfish, and Gulf Fish.

The Lump Crab Cake consisted of a panko crusted and deep-fried creole mustard crab cake. It was seasoned with red chili flakes, fried to golden brown, drizzled with white remoulade, and surprisingly spicy.

The Creole Seafood Gumbo was flavorful and had a hint of cayenne.

The Arugula Salad consisted of baby arugula, baby radish, roasted shallots, toasted almonds, and crumbled goat cheese tossed in champagne vinaigrette.

The Blackened Alligator consisted of tender white alligator meat, marinated in Cajun spices for 24 hours, served over romaine heart, and drizzled with white remoulade. It's hard to pinpoint what it tastes like but it's chewy like chicken.

The Trout Amandine consisted of a pan-fried filet of trout topped with almonds served with roasted new potatoes and steamed asparagus in a garlicky butter sauce. The Louisiana Catfish consisted of cornmeal crusted deep fried Louisiana catfish served with creole mustard napa slaw, jumbo lump crabmeat, and cayenne tartare sauce.

The Gulf Fish consisted of a grilled amberjack served with a Tasso and corn puree and lump crabmeat risotto in garlic Chablis butter. I'd say that was my favorite entree of the night.

We finished the meal with a Creme Brûlée and Courtyard Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce. The Creme Brûlée consisted of rich and creamy vanilla custard with a crispy caramelized sugar layer. We liked how it served warm. We were surprised that it's heavier and richer than any Creme Brûlée I have had. The Courtyard Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce consisted of vanilla and nutmeg bread and raisins in a whiskey sauce.

They also offer a live jazz brunch buffet daily from 9am–3pm for $36 per adult and $14 for children ages 5–12 (price excludes tax and gratuity).
