The Court of Two Sisters
The Court of Two Sisters is a third generation locally owned and operated Creole restaurant.  The building dates back to 1832 and was once the home to two aristocratic Creole sisters, Emma & Bertha, for whom the restaurant is named.  The gala will be held in the beautiful Terrace Dining Room which features hand painted murals of New Orleans and a stunning view of the courtyard.  The menu for the night has been specially prepared by Chef to showcase multiple uses of pork throughout classic New Orleans dishes.
