River Saint is an inviting new restaurant and inn housed in the historic 1834 Annadele’s Plantation mansion. Helmed by renowned chef Pat Gallagher, the venue features multiple cozy dining rooms and double bars. Steeped in local history, the property sits near the Bogue Falaya River on land that once served as an 1800s summer home for New Orleans Mayor Walter C. Flower. The menu shines with classic regional flavors, offering starters like crispy Oysters River Saint and Eggplant Bogue-Falaya, rich Creole turtle soup, and traditional seafood and andouille gumbo. Main courses highlight local catches such as Gulf Fish Pecan Meuniere and Blackened Redfish Courtbouillon, along with signature cuts like the 16-ounce ribeye, roasted rack of lamb, and quail filled with Chef Pat's famous oyster dressing. Guests can end their meal with indulgent local desserts like Bananas Foster, white chocolate bread pudding, and fresh New Orleans beignets.
