We have had a little vacation home in the area for several years, however never frequented this restaurant. A neighbor recently told us about it so we decided to try it out. I must say I wish I would've known about it before. The atmosphere is casual, yet high end and the service outstanding. We had their lobster bisque, salad, meatloaf and steak medallions paired with a nice Cabernet. Everything was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back often. read more

Overall we didn't have any major problems but we definitely weren't blown away. The atmosphere is nice. No issues there. Our booth was nice and spacious. We had a res and even tho we were a bit early we were seated promptly. The hostesses were both friendly. The server was fine. She was efficient and courteous. My only issue there would be dropping the check without asking if we wanted anything else. Not a big deal though. We already had our dessert and coffee so it was highly unlikely we were going to order anything else. The food: We had the lobster bisque which we both found quite good but we both had a few small pieces of shell which was a little off putting. I would still recommend it though. The whipped burrata was a bit bland but a dash of S&P and it was fine. The bread wasn't cut very well so we had to tear it apart. When we tore it apart we ended up with mangled pieces that were hard to get the burrata on. Neither of us cared for the pesto that comes with it. The short rib arancini balls had good flavor but the short rib is just one small piece in the middle. Because the balls are far too large to eat all in one bite you kind of end up with one bite that has short rib and several that don't. Maybe shredding it and blending it into the risotto for a more even distribution would help. The wife has the lobster thermador special. She enjoyed it but said it was nothing to rave about. I had the filet medallions. They were cooked just right and the risotto that came was very good. But the filet desperately needed some salt and pepper. They also didn't have much of the blue cheese beurre blanc and which was disappointing. This may sound weird but I did not at all care for the plate/bowl thing it was served in. It's oddly shaped which made it difficult to place my knife on the edge. I had to balance it just so and it still slid into my dish several times. I finally found a way to place the knife with the point down on my steak and it sat fine. Not a big deal but a little irritating. I had the brussel sprouts on the side. They use very small sprouts so they were nice and sweet and tender but also suffered from a lack of salt. I did not taste the Thai chili at all. I would also recommend brining a spoon to serve them with. Because they are so small, using a fork was a bit more difficult than it needed to be and made getting the sprouts along with some outer leaves harder than it needed to be. Finally, we had the tiramisu and coffee for desert. The coffee is fine. The tiramisu was ok. Maybe a touch more sugar and we would have liked a bit more espresso flavor. Drinks: My wife had some kind of fruity cocktail. She said it was really sweet. I had a Woodford old fashioned. Ironically mine could have used just a touch more sweetness. They did have a pretty good bourbon selection for a smaller place. The wine list was reasonable with plenty of options and all the prices were fair. I had a cab I had never tried and it was quite tasty. The wife had a Riesling she said went well with the lobster. Overall it was fine. There were no major problems, it just left us feeling a bit underwhelmed. While there were several other entrees that looked really good, I think next time we'd pass and give somewhere else a shot. That being said, most of our issues could have been resolved with a bit more salt and seasoning is highly subjective so you may find it suits your tastes better than we did. Cheers read more

Menu eclectic. We thought food was satisfactory. Waiter was middle-aged man who spoke quite loudly. We all enjoyed our meals and conversations and ordered coffee and desserts. Desserts were excellent, however coffee was awful! We were so looking forward to it to top our meals off. It was luke warm and tasted like dishwater ! A restaurant of this caliber needs to have better than average coffee. Attention to these details is important. Thank you. read more

SoNapa Grille - Sorry, Nick but was giving you an honest appraisal - American Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

I've come here a few times before. I usually bring my dad and step mom here when they come for a visit. We've always had great food and service and they are very accommodating if you come in with a baby to find a spot to sit. Some visits were better than others. When they are great they great. When it's not so great they bomb. Last time I brought my family and parents here we rarely saw our server so it was challenging to get our needs met. But Happy Hoir at the bar always brings good service for sure. The food is really fantastic and consistent with the exception of 1 out of our 5 visits when everything came out all wrong and improperly cooked. PROS: - Good service - Happy Hour 4-6pm weekdays, $2 off wine by the glass and appetizers. - Barkeep always delightful - Food is great CONS: - Servers have way too much conversation to tell bartender at "service bar" spot. Like it's loud. I don't wanna hear about your Bar mitzvah or drunken night out. WINE CONS: - I'm from cali and love the wine there but could we please get some Zins from Lodi?!?! - Russian River is delicious for Pinots, get more please - Need Decoy by the glass. - Wine Flights/Tastings please! - Need more wine by the glass options read more

Food excellent, service with Dana excellent and Ambiance was very nice . My first time here and I will definitely return. read more

My Husband and I tried this place for the vwey first time. We order for our appetizer alexander Valley flat bread and the house salad it was good ,but for me it lacked flavor maybe some added garlic would have made it a bit better tasting. My husband order the grouper served with risotto he said the fish was cooked to his liking ,but lacked some flavor.I ordered shrimp and scallop carbonara the shrimp sevred over fettuccine Parmesan Alfredo.tje shrimp was perfect and the scallops were okay..everything we had seem to lack flavor.For our dessert He ordered the hollow mountain ( aka pineapple upside-down cake served with vinalla ice cream he said it was very good! I had the blueberry cheese cake which was good as well It was pretty pricey for just okay food.I have had much better for less tne cost. I'm not saying Not to try this establishment. It just isn't a place I will be running back to anytime soon. Serves was good but, everything felt rushed my husband and I were out for date night and wanted to enjoy our meal.and conversation we both felt as if we didn't get the chance to enjoy the abeyance read more

We had 21 attend a party our 3 children threw for our 50th Anniversary! We had the best waiters and the food was divine! Every minute was extremely memorable for our family! Thank you SoNapa! A beautiful event and very much appreciated! read more

Tried to make a reservation online as the phone tree instructed. VERY FRUSTRATING when it showed 7p available but could not confirm it. So we drove to Sonapa and were told they had overbooked that time. They need to fix this glitch. Now they had a 30 minute wait. We said 'No thank-you' and left--NOT TO RETURN. read more

My son and I visited the other night. We had the surf and turf -- lamb lollipops. The cheesecake dessert. Everything was well prepared and presented. The server - Kate - made it a very special night for us. We will def return. read more

Went for my husband's birthday. First time here , not our last . Party of 10. Everyone enjoyed their meal , except for myself and friend . The only dish i would not suggest , steak sandwich . Which we both had . Tasted like minute steaks . The cheese and onion was so chopped up , it got lost . Did not enjoy at all . We both left more than half behind . Service was great and we did not make it easy . Unintentionally ! read more

Our go to date night restaurant everything is phenomenal. Make sure if you haven't tried it yet the chicken marsala over risotto and the short rib raviolis both out of this world and you can check their website for daily specials, which are always on point make sure to end the meal off with an espresso martini , and one of the amazing desserts. They also have a really great happy hour. read more

Food is delish ,service was above and beyond. Gabby was very attentive, and knowledgeable. Food brought out by a very nice young man. Not rushed and check was ready when we were. The one in new Symerna was small and a little to cozy with the bar, but not disruptive at all. All in all a great experience. read more

I just want to start off by saying there is nothing wrong with this restaurant. The staff is all nice and the food I have eaten is good. My issue is that there is no actual Vegetarian entree in the menu. I know there's 1 regular margarita flatbread and some sides of vegetables and a few appetizers that are without any meat, but to not have any entree seems a bit ridiculous. There is every type of cuisine possible on the menu and this isn't a steakhouse, so to not have a pasta dish, a chefs choice cooked vegetables, or even a flat bread with vegetables on it, is something I feel needs to be changed. I'm sorry if this seems like a harsh review for just 1 entree to be added. read more

I'm so happy that this restaurant has appeared on the scene. The ambiance of the restaurant is lovely. There's something on the menu for everyone and the service is stellar. The hubs and I enjoyed our meatball and polenta appetizer. You should order this tasty duo. The meatball is delicious and moist while the polenta is a creamy accompaniment. We ordered the Silverado Steak salad and the Choose Two (choice of 1/2 flatbread, soup, 1/2 salad). Everything was delicious and the steak was cooked perfectly. I must admit that while the bread pudding was fine, it wasn't what we were expecting. It was actually made of donuts rather than bread. You must visit this restaurant today! Two thumbs up! read more

My husband and I have eaten dinner here several times and we've always had a great experience. First, the wine list has a nice mix of high end and more affordable wines with very reasonable markups. We've spent a lot of time in Napa and their wine list provides a good cross-section of the diverse varietals that can be found in the region. We've been impressed with their by-the-glass selections as well as the specials they run on bottles. The food is also consistently delicious. We typically start with a flat bread and a salad to share. My favorite is the house salad and the Santa Rosa flatbread. We've also had the scallops appetizer a couple of times - very delicious! The three-cheese Asiago bread is also a favorite and it comes out with a really cute presentation. For mains, the Bison Bolognese is my favorite. The portion is huge so be prepared to have leftovers the next day. My mom and sister both had the Sonoma Style Chicken and said it was yummy. All in all, a great place for good wine, good food and a nice atmosphere. read more

This is a brand new restaurant for Ormond and the Trail plaza. The owners have a place in New Symerna Beach for years and wanted to try one in Ormond. I am so glad they did. This location was the Ormond Steakhouse and the remodel was wonderful. Now very opened up and bright with big windows to slow natural light during the day. They also extended outdoor seating that the previous steakhouse did not have. The service was great. We were seated quickly but I can see on weekends you will want reservations. We both orders the house wines that were very good. I had an amazing steak medallions on a cheesy risotto. My wife had the salmon on cauliflower rice. Great first impression. read more

Wonderful food and drinks and a great HH too! Bar area is very friendly and bar tenders very nice and service is attentive. Great expresso martini's.Their signature Asiago bread with olive oil and. Balsamic dip is to die for! read more

When you order a cocktail, and the check comes, and it costs $17.35 something is wrong. And, this was barely a shot of a cheaper vodka with a little olive juice on the side. My husband got an Old Fashion, also in a small glass, with barely a shot, unlike other bars in the Daytona area like The Chart House or even Charlie Horse. Then, if you want any bread, which they call "bread service", that's another $8.90. The dinner portions are small too. The ONLY fish option on the menu for a restaurant in Florida on Saturday was Tile Fish. I ordered it, and it looked like it was left on the plate of some other diner, because the portion was so small for the price of $38.10. It came with some bland, tasteless dough balls called gnocchi. My husband got mushroom ravioli for$32.90. Also, not a large portion. Wine prices are through the roof too. Maybe they actually think they are in Napa? The cheapest was a $36, which we took home. The place is pretentious, catering to those, who believe "price is no object" to maybe just be "seen". I do not intend to be "seen" there again. It was NOT a $160.00 dining experience plus a $25 gratuity. Too much to spend on a subpar meal. A better bet, not that far from Daytona/Ormond, is "Seasons 52" in Altamonte Springs. Not pretentious, just good! read more

Great food, very clean and nice wine list. I really did enjoy my Chicken Marsala and my parents enjoyed their entree's as well. Go give this place a try. Think you'll like it read more

Food is fan. The service is above par. My husband and I celebrated our 45th anniversary there and they couldn't have been more attentive to us. They let us celebrate with friends that happened to be there also. The wine suggested by the server was perfect for the evening. After dinner they gave us a beautiful slice of carrot cake and a small gift to finish off our celebration. Love this place and will definitely go back read more

Food and service were exceptional! The Lamb was fantastick. I had a large group and service was great!

Always a great experience. Great selection of wine. Food is always good. Not usually a fan of bread pudding, but their bread pudding, made with Krispy Kreme donuts is to die for! read more

The food was good. Our server took a long time getting to us, but apologized as did the manager, which we thought was considerate. But the noise! The place is overcrowded with tables. No room to walk between them, and impossible to carry on a conversation. Reminded me of a school lunchroom. We might go back on a warmer night and sit outside, although as we left people out there were smoking, so that would rule it out for us. We've been to their restaurant in New Smyrna Beach and the noise level was just as bad there. read more

Great food, service and ambiance! I had the shrimp and scallops and it was delicious and so was the peanut butter and banana cheesecake!

Truly a great experience out there at the nap! Check out that staff full of enthusiasm. It is a bit loud inside, our go to seating is outside. My favorite addition is the great string lights. Will be back for another meal! read more

We tried this place in Ormond Beach for the first time and I must say it was spot on. The food was great, the service was great, we will be going again. I had the hanging tenderloin which was delicious and very tender . My wife had Lamb also done to perfection. I might mention Kent was our waiter and he did a tremendous job of taking care of my parents for their 69th wedding anniversary. read more

Great service. Delicious meal. He had the Bison Bolognese, and I had the Braised Short Rib & polenta. Both were completely delicious, if a bit overpriced. His portion was enormous, and mine was good and manageable. Flourless chocolate cake for dessert was rich and delicious, too. I'd definitely recommend, but be prepared to spend $100 (or more, if you're drinking). read more

Another great meal and enjoyable evening with SoNapa Grille!! Started off with the meatball and polenta appetizer. Delicious!! Ordered the triggerfish special with lemon caper sauce with fettuccine.

This is a more upscale restaurant in Ormond. There are lots of great selections and everything that we have tried so far has been good.

Had a delicious meal at Sonapa last night. 4 meals 4 satisfied customers. Our waitress Angela was wonderful! She knew the menu v well & listened to our tastes & offered excellent suggestions. She also knew the cocktail menu v well & described the drinks nicely. Highly recommend! read more

Love this place - my only complaint is there are so MANY great things on the menu I struggle to pick one!

Have been twice since this location opened and thrilled both times. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, the manager came around and introduced himself both times we were there. The wine selection is excellent and the food delicious. I've had the Korean ribs, scallops and shrimp carbonara ( which is more like Alfredo than carbonara but still delicious) the chicken risotto, the pizza and loved all of it. You can make reservations on Yelp, super easy. Outdoor seating is also available. read more

Food was amazing our server Erin was great. We had the pork chop and lamb chops. Do yourself a favor and try this place you will be glad you did. Delicious!!!!! read more
