Service

"Just plain magic" rave fans of this "romantic" French Quarter "institution" , where a "gorgeous" , "vine-draped" courtyard and a dining room reminiscent of a "fine French home" play host to a daily Creole buffet of "staggering" proportions (the "only problem" with brunch is "too many choices" ); in short, it's a "must-visit for visitors" , who consider it money and time "well spent" , especially when daily live "jazz music fills your soul" ; P.S. also serves dinner.

The Court of Two Sisters is a New Orleans iconic! It's almost a mandatory part of the New Orleans experience. But that means you will be standing in line, rain or cold or heat for some time... probably. This is one of those places where everyone goes. There is as good a chance as not that you'll be standing in line in front of a celebrity. I've literally been in that situation 4 to 5 times over the years. Great drinks. The mint juleps are good. Watch it on the Hurricanes. That famous punch is basically a big red sleeping pill in a souvenir glass. During the winter time the flaming fountains are fun. Very historically beautiful.

The brunch menu does not disappoint. I tried quite a few local, new items and liked it all. If you want variety this is your place. Great menu for kids with so many options. The 3 piece jazz band was enjoyable and I recommend sitting outside. Service was a bit slow getting us the check but I’d highly recommend this place to others. Great atmosphere!!

Very disappointing. Being from a multi-generational New Orleans family, I know good New Orleans style food. The food here was just too bland. It is obviously made to cater to tourists more than natives of NOLA, because the flavor just wasn't there. The atmosphere was nice, I did wish the band had played more than 3 or 4 songs though, seeing as I paid extra for the jazz brunch.
