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.

    Main entrees were good (shrimp basket and L burger), however, our sides (fries and cole slaw) were underwhelming.

    This was the last restaurant we went to before my wife had our baby so it was only fitting to make it the place we went out for our first date night as new parents. It felt great to come in and have my note about it being our firat date night acknowledged. Our server, Chris, was amazing and very attentive and provided wonderful service. The food, as always, was delicious. I loved the steak frites and my wife love the halibut. We really appreciated the desert. It was the perfect cap to the meal and our night. Ever since we moved to the area Lagniappe has been our favorite place to go for a nice night out and we can't wait for the next time we can go.

    Had a reservation at 6 but decided to go early and sit at the bar. They actually had a table for us so we decided to just eat early. Drew was our server and he was excellent. Attentive but not pushy. The food was excellent. My husband had the catfish and I had the shrimp creole. We also had fried green tomatoes to start. All 10 out of 10. Highly recommend.

    A very special dining spot, that accomodated my family several times with patience, courtesy and kindness of their staff from hostess to bartender. Food was delicious, portions were generous and the specials were delicious!

    Mixed feelings on this restaurant. Disappointed as soon as we arrived. We had a reservation for 6pm for 4 people with a requestfor a booth, we arrived 550 and were a little harshly told that there were no booths available and they couldn't guarantee special requests. Ok, understandable I then asked how long to wait for a booth since my husband is hard of hearing and a booth helps block the ambient noise. We were told it would be over an hour since they just sat all their booths (?!?) Why would they sit all their booths when there a reservation requesting a booth?? The service good, not great. Not able to provide a list of scotches due to the iPad not being charges (?) My husband finally just ordered a wine because scotch options did not seem to be forthcoming. After dinner we requests an additional drink and decaf with our desserts. Neither drink came in time to be paired with our desserts. We received some excellent dishes- calamari app, seafood special, peanut butter pie were all spot on delicious. We also meh dishes- the L'Cobb salad was just ok, nothing special. The gumbo tasteless and the full bowl was sent back, the waitress asked for feedback on why the gumbo was disappointing but kept it on the bill. With all the restaurants in the area I am not seeing a compelling reason to spend a few hundred dollars here again.
