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.

    What a welcoming restaurant! We just moved here and this was our first visit. We were welcomed by Stella our waitress who we absolutely loved and neighboring tables were talking to us like they knew us. It really felt like Home. We had the calamari as an appetizer, which was one of the best we’ve ever had with the sweet chili sauce. I had the lamb chops that were out of this world, and my husband had a special which was duck that he said was delicious. We will be back probably sooner than later.

    Excellent food & service as usual. We love this restaurant. The atmosphere could use some work, maybe something to drown out the noise levels at the bar area. Not sure how, though.

    Food and service very good but not worth it considering the crowdedness of the tables and terrible noise level.

    Food was very poor. It was clear that the most used appliance in the kitchen is the microwave. Would definitely NOT recommend!

    Emily, as usual was awesome. The food is good, but the experience is the service. It was very busy when we got there, but Emily, backstopped by staff who appeared as if on cue, was always there to make our second outing enjoyable. We will be back.
