I must agree with others' assessments of the Court of Two Sisters as a "good value." The eggs benedict were absolutely incredible - the vast variety of offerings on the buffet are incredible - but as are most buffets, I found everything to be basically mediocre. It was definitely worth the $25 but I wouldn't do it again. I also found the food at the Court of Two Sisters Jazz Brunch rather unimpressive, but it was certainly an interesting event and definitely good value. For dinner I went to Bayona and Commander's Palace and both were very good. If I had to choose between them I would probably go back to Bayona for the nice atmosphere on the patio -- if only they could steal that Bread Pudding Soufflee recipe :-) |
Went to Mothers for a late breakfast and Irene's for dinner last Sat. Mothers had very good food, a basic no-nonsense breakfast.
Dinner at Irene's was excellent. We arrived around 5:30 and were seated immediately (later the wait was over an hour). Very good elderly Welsh gentleman served us. |
A couple of good experiences this week.
Bacco - always has been a favorite of mine. I got the feeling that the primary chef was out - food and presentation wasn't quite what it has been in the past - but still excellent. Muriel's - goat cheese crepes, pecan encrusted drum fish, and the foie gras - gotta love it! Petunia's - no wait - crepes are excellent and the banana's foster to die for. A little more expensive than I expected it to be - but well worth it for an occassional splurge (I'm so impatient though, I'd still never wait in line.) :D |
^ The crowds were down Memorial weekend compared to the 3 past years -- don't know why. But all the major restaurants sold out for the vintners' dinners and the Royal Street Stroll sold out weeks ago too, so go figure. :confused: Glad you didn't have to fight past crowds!
Weather was gorgeous too! We had the best dinner and service ever at the vintner's dinner at Stella! I think it even beat the Chef's Table splendor at Commander's a couple of years ago. And Sara Jessica Parker was at a table across the room and that wasn't so bad either... ;) |
