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.

    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.

    We normally enjoy our visit but this time all of our food was not good. Steak was rare and cold, Mac and cheese cold and dry. Salmon and rice was dry, all veggies were bland and hard. Even the side of fries was undercooked. Very disappointing especially for the cost.

    Excellent food and service with a lovely ambiance. Some items were overpriced so ask the waiter for the price of the specials. Great place for date night or to meet up with friends!

    Food is always delicious with great variety on the menu. Plenty of service people so never waiting for service & food even though restaurant is always busy. This is an excellent place to dine and our favorite on Amelia Island.

    We love Lagniappe and wish there was a restaurant back home. It’s one of our go to spot on every visit to Amelia Island. Our server was Jessica and she did a wonderful job of taking care of us. We’ll be back again next week before we head home.
