The ambiance was good although very loud. It was hard to listen to conversation. We asked to be moved to a quieter location and the staff were very accommodating. The food was great. Would recommend highly but note that the restaurant is pretty loud. If you’re looking for quiet conversation and ambiance look elsewhere.

Amelia Island

About the restaurant

The Louisiana French Creole use the term “lagniappe” to describe something that’s “a little something extra,” and that's exactly what chef owner Brian Grimley knows it takes to transform a dish from mere food into an experience you never forget. Inspired by the culture and flavors of New Orleans, Charleston and Savannah, Chef Grimley's Lagniappe- Amelia Island combines the traditions of the French Creole with unique twists on Southern culinary staples using only the freshest local ingredients. And should you wish to elevate your experience by imbibing one of the many cocktails on the menu, you'll choose from a range of both classic and new wave cocktails inspired by the eclectic spirit of the South.

Staff is very amiable and ready to assist in any way. The Ex S Chef made the rounds which was fun and informative. The food was very good to excellent - which has been our experience here. The vegetarian main could be a bit more flavorful, but the soup, grouper and the bread were all excellent. The lobster cake ( really more of a croquet) was very good and the accompanying citrus salad was fantastic. Always enjoyable at Verandah!
