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.

    If I take the time to make a reservation, which I did because it was my birthday, I expect a good table. We got what I would consider "a walk-in table," so close to the other table for two that the waitress worked us as one group (telling us the specials, etc.). The food was good, but the service was too rapid (ie. starter arrived before the drinks). I think we were in and out in an hour. For a variety of reasons, I would not say it was a great dining experience.

    We had a very enjoyable evening there. The food was outstanding. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the specials and made sure that we had everything that we needed for an enjoyable experience. The noise level was very low so we could easily talk to each other without having to raise our voices to hear each other. It was a very delightful experience.

    We had high expectations for our dinner. When we arrived, the parking lot was full but finally happened upon one on our 3rd trip around. We arrived early and they were able to seat us. While our server was decent, we felt rushed to order drinks. They has an amazing cocktail list and it took some time for the 4 or us to read/decide. The drinks were great and our order was placed and delivered quickly. The restaurant filled and became very lively by the time were were finished. All in all it was a good outing and are likely to return when in the area.

    We had a very good dining experience at Lagniappe. It is a very popular restaurant for good reason. The ambience and food are both very good. When making a reservation, I would suggest requesting a preference of either the main dining room or the front dining room. They are both very pleasant but very different.
