About the restaurant

Featuring made-from-scratch, fresh, seasonal dishes and craft cocktails, Burlingame creates an enticing dining experience. We realize that dining out is about more than just the food on the plate and drink in the glass. The total guest experience should be delightful. Here you can laugh with friends, visit with family or have an intimate dinner for two and our wait staff will work to ensure your experience is beyond your expectations. Our staff will be there when you need them but tonight is about your party not about us. If we do our job right you won’t even notice us.
We want your experience to be exceptional, and that’s why the guest experience is our focus.

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.
