About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
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.

    Waitress was absent.sides were not delivered until we were finished eating. Food was overpriced overcooked and under-salted. The pricing was ridiculous.

    With this being Shrimp Fest weekend the chef, Brandon, was not honoring any substitutions and was not going to make the vegan board to order. My husband is vegan and ate a side of asparagus for dinner. If I would have known that my husbands dinner request for the vegan board was not going to be honored, I would never have made a reservation here during Shrimp Fest. I'm disappointed with our dinner experience this evening.

    Elegant dining, but still can be casually dressed. Great service and food. Lots of variety to chose from menu. Make sure you hear their specials for the day! One of Amelia’s best!

    Sometimes when you’re visiting from out of town - you really want to find the spot where the locals go - Laginappe is that place. Bustling even on a Monday night - not an empty seat at 6:30 PM when we arrived for our reservation. Greeted warmly and seated quickly at the only open table - our waiter Rob was charmingly efficient fetching us a cold bottle of rose and taking our orders after thoughtful explanations about the days specials. We settled on the shrimp and grits (yes with the tails cutoff!) and a grit cake that was amazing. The other entree was a sweet tea brined pork chop that was decadent. So - if you’re visiting - don’t think twice about having dinner at this wonderful locals place.

    Everything was amazing from the food to our server Nathan. He did an excellent job. I had the captains salmon and my husband had the meatloaf special and both were delicious. Love Lagniappe.
