    How about the perfect date night? This place is it! We loved the food - absolutely delicious. The service was fast and professional. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lighting is a bit odd as it felt we sat right under a spotlight.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar was crowded - a very popular spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There also were great happy hour options.

    shrimp and scallop carbonara

    SoNapa Grille has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in Jax Beach. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space offers both a cozy interior and inviting outdoor seating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], service is always friendly and prompt, and a few standout dishes keep me coming back again and again. As a wine lover, I really appreciate their extensive wine list and rotating seasonal specials. That said, don't skip the cocktails; the key lime martini with a graham cracker rim is my go-to. When it comes to food, my husband and I never skip the lamb lollichops. The bacon jam and goat cheese pairing is unexpected but absolutely delicious. For entrées, he likes to try something new each visit, but I can never resist the shrimp and scallop carbonara. It's perfectly creamy without being overly heavy, and they never skimp on the seafood. If you're looking for a dinner spot that blends approachable crowd-pleasers with creative, elevated dishes, SoNapa Grille is a must-visit.

    Ordered medium rare...

    I wish I could give this one star. I've eaten here multiple times and had no issue, but the ONE time I ordered for pickup, my $85 steak was CHARRED. Like black. It tastes like a fire. What a waste of money. I would've been happier eating the $100 bill.

    A first time visit here. This used to be a Roy's restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Still looks nice inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had reservations for a 7pm visit and were seated in the back room along with a lot of people. My sister-in-law made the reservations and I'm told you pick your spot to be seated in different sections of the restaurant. I was curious why we were being seated with a large group of people when other sections of the restaurant were not full. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Being seated in this large group made the setting very loud, with everyone talking over the next table beside them. I didn't like that![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordered drinks, appetizers and our meal. The restaurant wasn't half full and it took just over an hour to get our food. The prices are $25 to $60 for your meal not counting drinks and appetizers. So be prepared to spend over $100 for a couples meal. Food presentation was spot on, all the food brought out was delicious. As an appetizer we tried the Korean short ribs. Delish and as a main meal tried the wagyu meatloaf with mashed potatoes. Delish. As far as dessert goes we all shared the donut bread pudding. Definitely shareable. It was also delicious. I would try it again on a special occasion due to the cost.

    Met up with friends for a fun date night and kicked things off with some delicious cocktails. To start, we ordered the Three Cheese Asiago bread--and wow, that bread was amazing! It would've been a nice touch if it were complimentary, but we couldn't complain. For the mains, I went with the pork chop, while my wife chose the mixed grill curry. As always, we swapped plates halfway through to get a taste of each other's dish. Both were fantastic--really hard to choose a favorite! Overall, it was a great dinner with even better service. Can't wait for the next one!

    This is a very popular restaurant and bar in Jacksonville Beach offering California inspired foods and wines from Sonoma and Napa Valleys. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is beachy and classy. Beautiful decor with great subdued lighting. I loved it. The darker woods with very comfortable booths were just what I like.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was Brandon, who was a delight with lots of great tips about the area as well as delicious items and wines on the menu. He was awesome, attentive with a good sense of humor. I ordered the Korean BBQ Ribs with shoestring fries. The ribs were delicious and spicy but I didn't care to have so much sauce poured over the fries. Less is more in this instance. A mix of flavors would be better. My daughter ordered the Thai Coconut Curry Grill with center cut sirloin. She liked her meal just as it was. For dessert, we shared the Bread Pudding. It was very good. We had a lot of fun there, thanks to Brandon's outgoing personality! Parking was free just outside the restaurant. We definitely would return again.

    I was taken here for my birthday dinner a few weeks ago. The food was delicious, the service was excellent & [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambience was very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Surprised by a different little gift given for birthdays. The manager came by to wish me a happy birth & part of the gist was a card signed by the staff. Highly recommended.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great ambience and decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was attentive, an offer specials and suggested dessert. The food took a bit longer to come out, but it was well worth the wait. Salmon salad, and steak plates were delicious and well cooked. Will definitely return. Dessert was well worth the experience

    Bacon wrapped scallops

    I was able to sneak in a last minute reservation for a GNO on a SATURDAY, so happy about that. When we got to SoNapa we were promptly sat, with no wait whatsoever. I feel like this never happens these days. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a super cool booth in the wine room that faced everyone else, made us feel like queens.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the scallop app which was ok. Seemed like it was missing a little something and came out very like warm, but tasty nonetheless. My friends split the carbonara w shrimp and I had the salad w steak. Steak and pasta were amazing. Another friend did the pick two and the Caesar salad was extremely over dressed. Hence why I did not take a pic. Overall the experience was good, no major misses, will love to come back!

    This visit was prompted by an email I got from the restaurant offering a free glass of Caymus wine with any dinner purchase on the patio. Well who could say no to "free wine" especially Caymus. I've probably been here 20xs over the past few yrs. & almost always sit at the bar because I love their wine selections by the glass. I also love the fact that they do a 6 ounce and 9 ounce pour. When I sit at the bar & I usually just get an appetizer. The few times I've sat at a table and have had a full meal, it was always delicious.Their bread pudding is amazing & friends rave about their Korean ribs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This was my 1 st experience on the patio. It's a lovely little space that unfortunately faces A1A. You can't really see most of the road but you can hear the cars wizzing by.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was thorough and attentive, which is all you can ask for. Our complementary glasses of wine turned out to be Conundrum produced by the same family vineyard as Caymus. We all chose the red. It was actually quite nice. For my 2 nd glass I chose one of their Sauvignon Blancs that I have had here many times before. For dinner I had the sashimi tuna with coconut rice and crispy Brussel sprouts. The dish was quite a good portion of tuna. I enjoyed the dish but I felt the tuna quality could have been a little better. Fresh quality sashimi just has such a good taste hard to find these days. My dining companions had the Thai coconut mixed grill and the salmon. The salmon was prepared gluten free for my friend. She said it was excellent . The dish really looked beautiful. Both people loved their meals. Although dining at So Napa can be a little pricy their food is really good & their portions are ample. We truly enjoyed our evening.

    This is a beautiful restaurant with a bar and multiple dining rooms. I had reservations for 4:30 PM and when I arrived, I asked about the happy hour. I was happy to hear that I could enjoy the happy hour specials from the bar or in any dining room, so I decided to keep my reservation and sat in the front dining area. Our server, Casey, greeted us and took our orders promptly. I chose a Sauvignon Blanc wine from Ghost Block and ordered the Korean barbecue ribs with a side of fries and a Caesar salad. I had tried the ribs at a Yelp event last year and wanted to have them again. Although they were still tasty, they weren't as good as they were at the event. Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We decided to have dessert as well, and the doughnut bread pudding was absolutely stunning and delicious. Overall, I would rate this place a four out of five and would definitely dine here again. The pricing was reasonable for a place of this caliber.

    Goat cheese with honey and Apple appetizer
    Mariana I.

    This place is so good!! Idk why there isn't more of a younger crowd here. The restaurant was filled with lots of senior citizens which was such a surprise because they have a beautiful bar with cocktails, plenty of delicious wine and food!!! The goat cheese appetizer was so creamy and full of sweet flavor dropped with honey. The wine was good this was a Sauvingon Blanc. And for my entree I had the special of the day -Wild caught halibut with creamy wine risotto and asparagus

    Chicken Marsala
    Gina R.

    Great food, great service! Loved the chicken Marsala and the happy hour appetizer! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fantastic ambiance. Not too loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend.

Considering the price, I felt the food fell short of my expectations. That said, I still enjoyed spending quality time with my mom and sister over good conversation. As the restaurant filled up, the noise level increased quite a bit, making it a little harder to talk. I did see a few other items I would like to try so a return visit is possible, but definitely will expect more of a food quality is needed.

Also got pancakes & bacons, vegan mexicali wrap and size of haus fried (potatoes cubes). Portion size was huge, we could only finish half the food. Everything was delicious & if you get the vegan mexicali wrap, 100% would recommend trying with the hot sauce with it. Food and staff were great, but I am not sure if it was worth 20-30 mins wait and the hassle of parking. Would definitely go back but will not be a regular place for us!
