River Grille - Duck Wraps, Grilled Oysters, Steaks & More

Tara

The weather was absolutely beautiful and perfect for an afternoon luncheon on the patio, so the Tara's Taste of the Town crew ventured through the double doors and onto the veranda to enjoy the scenic overlook and breeze coming off Bayou DeSiard.

At first glance, the menu is aesthetically pleasing to the palate and River Grille menu items seem to leap off the pages they are printed on.  As we sat, we couldn’t help but salivate watching the scrumptious morsels coming forth out of the kitchen, wondering not what we wanted to try, but what would we NOT want to try!

After moments of joyous interjection from our wonderfully hospitable waitress, she turned in our menu selections as we eagerly anticipated their arrival! Guest one ordered an appetizer of the French onion soup, followed by a fantastic chicken kabob accompanied with a twice baked potato. Guest two opted for the bowl of seafood gumbo with side of French bread; and, for myself, I couldn’t contain my longing for the crab cakes!

Upon their scrumptious arrival, we could not wait to dive into each dish with the utmost urgency, and it was absolutely worth the short wait!  My crab cakes were melt-in-your mouth fabulous with a sauce unlike any I’ve tasted this side of my beloved NOLA.  Each cake was perfectly crafted with finesse and the perfect amount of lump crab meat, blended together with the perfect accompaniment of seasonings and spices.  All of this mouth-watering taste could only have been escalated by the merriment of their wonderful “Sha-Bang” sauce loaded with crawfish tails. 

From start to delightful finish, my crew enjoyed every aspect of our luncheon at River Grille and will most certainly return in the near future to sample more tantalizing creations! For wonderful wait-staff, fantastic food, AND an amazing patio view – I highly recommend a trip to visit with Adam & Julie Hansen, Ashley Bergeron and the crew at River Grille!
