Our server, Anthony, truly went above and beyond to make our babymoon dinner celebration so special. His thoughtfulness and attentiveness were impeccable, and we genuinely appreciated everything he did for us throughout the evening. The food was phenomenal from start to finish, with not one bad course. It was such a memorable experience, and we’re already praying we’ll have the opportunity to come back again in the future!

Amelia Island

About the restaurant

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.

Second time at Cucina South excellent again. Our server Brittany was very attentive and personable, providing suggestions and comments about her favorites. Started with Drunken Mussels which was excellent with a flavorful broth. My wife had Linguine with Clams, I again had the Pork Osso Bucco over Polenta. Each was out of this world! Chef Brett is outstanding! This has become our go to restaurant for special occasions, formerly with enjoyed the 5th street bistro but Chef Brett and his fabulous cooking and staff have now made us regulars. Can’t go wrong with this outstanding restaurant!

About the restaurant

Coast will undergo a thoughtful transformation, introducing refreshed dining spaces, an enhanced bar and lounge experience, and a sophisticated design inspired by Amelia Island's natural beauty. Drawing inspiration from driftwood, sea oats, coastal textures, and the island's storied shrimping and maritime traditions, the reimagined Coast will offer a warm and welcoming atmosphere that remains true to its beloved identity and longstanding commitment to Southern coastal cuisine.

Guests will also discover a new semi-private dining area designed for intimate celebrations, family gatherings and special occasions. Upon reopening in December 2026, Coast will once again serve as the setting for many of the resort's most cherished traditions, including the annual gingerbread house display, holiday teas, Christmas celebrations, seasonal dining experiences, and New Year's festivities.

I was part of a group of 9 for dinner and fortunate enough to be seated outside with a view of the ocean. Ambience was unbeatable and our service was excellent. I'm looking forward to returning for a brunch.
