We were celebrating one of our good friends's birthdays, and we said he could choose anywhere he wanted to go and he chose SoNapa Grille. No, I hadn't been, but I will tell you that I plan on coming back very soon. To start with making reservations was very easy, and when we needed to change the time of the reservation, that was just as easy with a simple phone call for the restaurant. I knew by the way they handled the reservations that the service was going to be excellent, and it was. We were greeted by one of the owners of the restaurant, he was so thrilled we came in that she gave us a bottle of House wine, which was delightful. Bit more than that it showed their commitment to their customers, and the experience of eating at SoNapa. And I was thinking it couldn't get any better, but it did as soon as the food started coming out. And if you read my reviews in the past, then you know that you want the details on the food: Bread Service - an excellent way to start with warm bread, honey butter and the presentation was amazing. Caesar salad - it's OK, nothing special. Next time I'm gonna try one of the other salad options. Lamb lollipops - Grilled to perfection, but what made it was the honey mustard sauce that went with it. I think I could bathe in it. Chicken bites - another excellent appetizer, Chic-fil-a watch out. Wagyu bolognese fusilli - delicious combination of savory Wagyu and traditional Bolognese with pasta. Chicken marsala - served with asparagus and risotto, it was both flavorful and well executed. Such a delicious dish. There are enough things on the menu that I need to come back and try some more things and possibly bring more people, so I can try their food too . From the hostess to the Weight staff to the bus staff, every woman's dedicated to the dining experience. The location is in the old Roy's restaurant, so parking is plentiful and as I mentioned previously, the reservation system was very easy. read more

Nice ambiance, excellent service but had my first bad experience today. Ordered the Chilean Sea Bass. I'm not sure what they served me unless it was frozen and thawed but it wasn't Chilean Sea Bass. It was rubbery and nothing close to flaky as it should be. If anyone has ever has real Chilean Sea Bass as I have many time then one knows what it taste like and how the meat will pull away in flakes Anyways I will never order Chilean Sea Bass from here. Now maybe I just had a bad piece but at $54 I won't chance it again read more

We had a delicious dinner here a few nights ago. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is very nice, and our waiter was friendly and supported the table quite well. We will definitely be back here. Then only thing we did not like was the Lobster bisque soup; that night it was a bit salty and fishy tasting. read more

The food and the service here were amazing. I got the scallops appetizer and the lobster bisque. The scallops are usually bacon wrapped but the grilled them instead. They were cooked perfectly. The lobster bisque had so much lobster in it, it was amazing. My husband got the smash burger. It was so juicy. We say neat the bar but it was not super loud. It was great. We will be back. read more

SoNapa has become our Christmas Eve destination for the last couple of years. It is always a special treat and continues to be. Sean, our server, met every detail with precision delivering delicious meals. The fettuccine made in house is extraordinary and a favorite. The pork chop and grilled chicken was well prepared. The lime martini and old fashioned matched well with our entree selections. And of course Christmas Eve dinner would not be complete without a decadent chocolate mousse cake. Reservations made it easy but the staff kept on task with seating and clearing tables without missing a beat. SoNapa is a place where you will have no regrets for special occasions, holiday celebrations or just a night out of extraordinary food and service. Thank you SoNapa and staff for making our dinner special! read more

The Wellington crostini was new to us and another delicious bite. Lamb lollipops are always s hit. Salad and wine selections never fail, and our table on the patio was perfect read more

The inside is so what you'd expect when going out to eat at a nice restaurant- inviting, lots of chatter amongst the tables and waiters/waitresses who know the menu and ready to help you make up your mind! lol! I was with a group of 5 at a work event. Will have to go back with the hubby for sure! I had the portobello mushroom raviolis - WOW! The ravioli were the perfect size and cooked to perfection! Each one filled with a smooth velvety mushroom filling served under a cream sauce that topped off your bite perfectly! Can't wait to return! read more

Had the Filet with riostto. It was good. Probably wouldn't order it again but loved the blue cheese risotto. I prefer the chicken marsala better. We saw our tables after we ate but we didn't get bread. Would have loved to have some. Service was much better the last time we went here. We felt rush and they didn't go over the specials us. Makes me wonder if they had the social instructions. We noted a severe food allergy and requested a certain server but they didn't say anything about either. read more

Food: my husband had carbonara. Yaak! 1/3 of a lb. Maybe. Watery, nothing like carbonara looks ir should taste. Watery I had fusilli. OMG. I'm Italian. Ground beef, cheap, fusilli, tomato sauce and water. Watery and awfully. What do you want for $27.00. Our 56th wedding anniversary ruined. Terrible food for a lot of money, Carbonara, $16.00. terrible, awful. Service was below par as to a four star restaurant Waste of time and money. Ruined our nice Anniversary atmosphere. Never again, never! read more

The restaurant is a very nice blend of modern comfort. The staff is well trained and attentive and the food was delicious. The menu has varied choices which allow you to try new things as well as standards like steaks and chops. A good place to celebrate our 45th anniversary. read more

They have really gone downhill this past year. The menu is much more limited, the portions have shrunk & the prices have gone up. I ordered chicken MarsAl's. It had almost no Marsala sauce whatsoever & there were no mushrooms in it. I asked for an extra sauce & I got this tiny, tiny container that was maybe 2 tablespoons. The service was decent. The food was OK, not bad, but not particularly good. The portions were ridiculously small. The salads used to be absolutely delicious. Now they, too, have shrunk in size & are just "okay". I think they've gotten a little too big for their britches. This used to be my favourite place. Now I do not think I'll be going back. read more

The staff and the food at SoNapa Ormond Beach are top notch. We are spoiled, coming from South Florida with the many epicurean delights to choose from, but we always look forward to our monthly visits to Ormond Beach and visiting this gem of a restaurant. The staff and atmosphere makes you feel welcomed and the food never disappoints. Hats off to Sara J, Rye, Sean and Rea for providing outstanding service. read more

Food poisoning Nonapa. I think it was the lobster bisque. The lamb was way overcooked and the Caesar was yellow.

This was one of the BEST dinning experiences we have had in 2023. The restaurant and bar was busy and vibrant; definitely a Local Gem. Service was IMPECCABLE, from the Hostess seating us to the DELIGHTFUL Joely's "Friends for Life" interactions with us throughout dinner. We also had a great interaction with Nick, the Operating Partner. The food was EXCEPTIONAL, each dish had an excellent presentation and superbly-balanced flavor profiles. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND SoNapa Grille!!!!!!! read more

So good! I feel that I'm pretty hard to impress with food but I was very happy with my dinner. I had the carbonara with the scallop and shrimp add on and it was 10/10!

SoNapa Grille - Carbonara with scallops and shrimp add - American Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

This was the first time here and decided to stop by because of the good Yelp reviews. The food and service was very good. We were there during happy hour and ordered the smoked tuna crostinis which were excellent. I got the Caesar salad with the dressing on the side which I was glad I did because it had a strong fishy anchovy taste. The lettuce was crisp with shaved Parmesan cheese that I enjoyed. I also got the Alexander/margarita flatbread which was very good. My husband had the smash burger which he thought was good but not excellent due to the pickled onions that were on the burger ( he's a plain white onion caramelized kind of person). It had a very nice bar, covered outside patio area, nice inside area with a private sitting area if you had a large group/party. I will definitely be back. The shrimp and scallop carbonara looked great and will try that next time. read more

Great service, great food and great ambience! I had a flatbread and salad, friend had the pork chop. Reasonably priced.

The food and ambiance were excellent! Our waitress left a lot to be desired, but other than that we had no complaints. We had the Korean ribs appetizer, meatloaf Marsala, and the fish special (sea bass) and finished with the caramel crème brûlée. We will definitely be back! read more

I've dined at SoNapa a few times and have yet to be disappointed. It's clean, the atmosphere is perfect for a date night, and there are always interesting seasonal options on the menu. The drinks have been fantastic of the ones that I've tried. When I have had a long week and want to treat myself to a nice meal, SoNapa is a solid choice. read more

We went here with my mom and friends for dinner as we were in town to visit. We had heard great things about the menu especially with the gluten-free options. Overall, it was disappointing with the cuisine, while the service was solid and accommodating. The interior showcases a Mediterranean rustic ambience that radiates a couple of restaurants located in Napa Valley that I have frequented when over there. Warm and inviting, SoNapa does generate good vibes in that regard. Our server was friendly who knew which items on the menu were gluten free or could be made gluten free without cross contamination, which my wife was appreciative. She came by frequently enough in between taking our food orders and ensuring we had our food to make sure we had refills on water and cocktails. I enjoyed the Doctor's Orders cocktail that was gin-based and very refreshing served with lime and a cucumber garnish. Food-wise, we ordered the bacon-wrapped scallops and edamame pot stickers for appetizers. The former were tasty but a little overcooked based on the chewiness and the shrunken size. For what you order, I felt the portion size should have been larger, not good for sharing. The pot stickers were very tasty on the other hand. I ordered the carbonara with grilled chicken for my main dish. While the chicken was juicy and fresh, the noodles and cream sauce seemed more like you had egg noodles and butter that you make on the fly, with little indication taste or appearance wise that it was carbonara. You didn't get any indication from the taste that there were any prosciutto or other ingredients used that you find traditionally in the dress. I tried some of the meatloaf that my mom ordered and found that underwhelming with the sauce providing minimal taste to complement the meat blend. My wife ordered the pork chop that was very good with the mustard rub used, very flavorful. My aunt ordered the donut cake bread pudding that was quite decadent, not too sweet but definitely served for shared servings, I wouldn't recommend ordering it just for yourself unless you want to be wheel-barreled out of the restaurant in a food coma. While the service good and the ambiance was warm and inviting, I thought the menu was disappointing based on what I ordered and tried. For an establishment that seems to focus on having cuisine that you would find in Napa and Sonoma Valley restaurants, I felt that it currently misses the mark. read more

Update: I went back for dinner recently and the food quality has gone down along with the service. Felt the server was making fun of my parents accents and did not bring our table any water. Very sad as I really thought this place had potential read more

SoNapa was a pleasant experience. The space is welcoming and offers a clubby feel. The food was delicious and the service at first was a bit cold. But our server warmed up and enhanced our experience. She made a few delicious suggestions and turned out to be a wonderful addition to our evening. read more

I went to dinner with 3 friends last night and just had the most wonderful dinner. We all got something different and everything was absolutely delicious. The menu is very eclectic and creative. So many choices it was hard to decide. We wanted to order everything. Meatloaf was a very sophisticated version of an American favorite. Flat Breads were so good! We also had a custom Caesar Salad seared Ahi! Wow the portion was amazing. We finished our meal with the Key Lime martini. Such a delicious cocktail. Tasted just like a Key Lime Pie. The restaurant was lively on a Saturday might but not loud. Our server was outstanding, Her name was Ry. The other thing that we loved was the great Wine list. We shared a bottle of Caymus. Our group our frequent visitors of Napa Valley and we all agreed the menu really reflected and captured the Napa Valley feel. read more

Been here several times and it's always good. The service last night was very slow and our waiter was not the best. That along with the fact that they don't give you bread or anything (for free) despite the moderate pricing brought this review to a 4 vs. 5 star. We decided to order the Asiago bread appetizer since they don't provide bread and it was fair. I'm not a fan of asiago and would have preferred just plain bread with butter. If they aren't going to provide that for free then they should have a $5 plain bread and butter option. Onto the good: the key lime martini, which I've had previously, was excellent. My husband and son got the lamb chops dinner special which they both loved. I got the Thai coconut curry mixed grill which was so tasty and good. My son ordered the special soup of the day "cream of crab" but the waiter came back and said they were out of it. Disappointing and it was only 6:45 in the evening. He got the lobster bisque instead and liked it. Overall a good meal despite the fair- service. read more

We had such a great time at the @sonapagrille tasting with the owner event with @brassfieldestatewinery. It started with a tasting of the great wines from Brassfield and migrated into an incredible dining experience at SoNapa Ormond Beach. We had such a wonderful time with Adam, Shannon, Emily and Tom, who represented Brassfield. Thanks to Jason for stopping by to say hello. The food and the service were both awesome, as usual, as were all the wines. We just love SoNapa. If you're ever in the area, stop by. You will be so happy you did!

Had a drink and appetizer at SoNapa, in Ormond Beach, tonight. Molly was the bartender, tonight. we ate, at the bar. She provided excellent service, she was personal and accommodating. I had martini and a house salad, both were excellent. I ordered the lollipop lamb chops, off the appetizer menu. The first ones that came out, were a little undercooked. So Molly wished them away, and the manager came out, and assured me, they would bring me, another order. Joe, the expeditor brought me, another ordered, that was excellent! They were grilled to perfection. Tender and juicy. Another excellent meal, at SoNapa. read more

SoNapa is my favorite restaurant in all of the Daytona metro area and every time I visit, I have to scold myself for not coming more often. The happy hour is amazing but you need to get here early. I haven't had one thing on the menu that is even mediocre, everything is great. We celebrate a birthday today and everything and everyone was amazing from start to finish. A special shoutout to Sarah for taking great care of us and going above and beyond. We spoke with Jason twice (2nd time was to tell him in person how happy we were with the experience.) I also want to compliment the wonderful bartenders and the greeters and everyone else. This is a professional operation that would succeed in the largest cities and I am grateful to have this here in little Ormond Beach :) read more

First, the service was excellent! A very well trained staff served us an amazing meal. Great clean decor greets you and sets the mood. Cocktails were delicious with a generous pour. Asiago bread appetizer melted in your mouth and the pesto/herb butter/oil & balsamic were very well presented and delicious. The Korean spareribs with shoestring fries fell off the bone and the sauce hit you with a great flavor and tang. While the price is steep the Wagyu beef entree was worth every penny! Melt in your mouth beef with a great sauce. We substituted the Yukon gold mashed potatoes and were pleasantly surprised by them! Bread pudding dessert is made in house and was the perfect ending to a great experience. read more

We just walked in not really knowing anything about this spot aside from Yelp reviews. The food was excellent! My husband had the special triple tail with he loved; I had the mushroom ravioli with short rib and it was flavorful and delicious; my daughters had the cavatappi with bison bolognese and the Central Valley flatbread. Both were excellent. Only note on the flatbreads are they are very small, more of an appetizer than a meal. The desserts were to die for - the bread pudding OMG. Definitely give this place a try! read more

This was our first here and it was very late after 9:00 pm when we walked in. We sat at the bar, the bar tender was very busy chatting with the locals but another server didn't catch her name saw us come in & sit down and was quick to help us get in our order. They have a very nice wine list. The menu has a lot of steak options. I ordered the steak salad it was delicious. I really loved the dressing. My husband got the burger and he loved his food. The fries were great and I don't like fries. A very sweet lady next to us ordered the pork chop she was very happy with it. This is a very nice place. You can see the locals hang here at the bar. The ambiance is very nice. Our plans were very last minute and we are glad we got to try this place. We can't wait to go back again soon. read more
