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.

Food was delicious, wait staff courteous and efficient. If only the noise level could be lowered it would be the perfect place. Very difficult to have a conversation in the main dining room without yelling at one another.

The entree was maybe the best of all time: flounder cooked perfectly with sun dried tomatoes and couscous and small delicious asparagus. Dining room is just too loud. Even in a booth we could barely hear each other.

We recently dined at Langnaippe. We had a reservation and were seated within five minutes of arrival. It was a very busy Friday evening. We were seated in the main dining room and because it was full, it was noisy. They also have an outdoor patio. I had their Country Captain salmon, which was delicious. Be sure to make a reservation as this place is popular.

You call the noise level "energetic", we call it loud and distracting. The volume was so loud I had to turn off my hearing aides. Its the acoustics of the building (high open ceiling) and tables close to each other. Our table was jammed up next to another party with kids who kept getting up and down. The member of our party sitting on that side had to continually get up to allow them to get in and out. We should have asked for another table but the restaurant was crowded and we didn't want to wait (we had a reservation). Food was generally good but not as good as past visits. This was our third visit and it is always loud, even when the restaurant isn't full.

Our visit to Lagniappe was truly outstanding. We started with the fried oysters as an appetizer followed by my L Chicken and my wife’s Shrimp and Grits. All the food was prepared properly and served piping hot. Our server checked on us regularly and made sure our evening was enjoyable. We will be back soon!

The atmosphere and ambience in the this restaurant was very appealing. My wife's sword fish and prepared to perfection. I ordered filet mignon and while it was good, I found it to be slightly over cooked. I order medium, but maybe I should have ordered medium rare. The calamari appetizer was crunchy, but not greasy. Very good with a generous portion.

Our 2nd visit to Lagniappe this week was not so great. They were obviously crowded but our server did not come back to check on us for the entire night after bringing our drinks! Our glasses were left empty and we were not able to order the bottle of wine we were wanting. He did however have plenty of time to chat with the young couples across from us all evening, but he was so unaware that we could not get his attention. Such a shame to ruin our evening, because our first visit earlier in the week with Kelsey (?) as our server was outstanding.

We tried Lagniappe on a whim and were glad we did. Service was good, our server was very friendly as were most of the other team members we encountered. Gumbo was really tasty as was the calamari app. We both had salads as it was an early dinner and while my wife’s salmon Caesar was good (nothing crazy amazing) my artisan salad with blackened chicken was really tasty. We also had the pot d’crème for dessert and it was amazing!!! Looked like they had a bustling happy hour and most folks looked to be having a really nice time. Friendly people and staff all around. Would return.

delicious and our sever was impeccable. We sat near a window and needed to drop the shades a bit and it was nice, food was great and larger servings. the calamari and fried banana peppers was more of a treat than we needed, perhaps a 1/2 order of that would suffice.
