We love SoNapa! It's one of our go to spots in our area and it offers so many options for different dining choices. They serve dinner only so be mindful of that. There is a bar area that opens at 4:00 and they offer happy hour appetizers and drinks. If you are lucky, Rachel will wait on you as she is the bomb! There is a dining room area and then there is the wine barrel room. We love the wine barrel room as it encompassed all things related to the wine country. The servers are all great, but Brandon is the bomb in the dining room. The menu is robust and everything is made from scratch. Our family's favorites are cheese bread and lamb chops to start. The favored entrees are the filet meal, the ahi tuna meal, the smash burger and for me being vegetarian, I do the curry dish with no protein. Dessert is the donut bread pudding. It's a lively atmosphere but classy. Reservations are suggested for prime hours. You will love this place. read more

There were 4 of us that went for the happy hour and it was great. The service from Mike was awesome even though we were there for the happy hour food and drink. The atmosphere was really nice, not over the top extravagant but you'll want to dress to impress. The food for happy hour was excellent. We shared sliders, meatballs which were really good, the salmon sliders were tasty too and finally the dip was good as well. The happy hour has discount on their EOS wines which were ok. We'll definitely be back. read more

4.5 Great vibe, we requested the wine barrel room which was set back, a bit less noise. Service was good, they brought us a card and spices for our anniversary which was a nice touch. We started off with drinks, beer and a gin drink similar to a bees knees (also enjoyed a French 77 later in the meal). Then bread service, with oil and three types of whipped butter. Good service of bread, moist and flavorful- worth the $9. We moved to the lobster bisque next, super rich and great flavor, service with a seasoned long cracker. Meals, the pork chop- tender, over melt in your mouth mashed potatoes with chopped apples and grapes on top- great flavor. We also had the salmon, with spinach, sun dried tomatoes, and goat cheese over a mushroom mixture, savory and great mix. Unfortunately we were beyond full and didn't opt for dessert, but I was eyeing the affogato or an espresso martini. Delicious and overall reasonable. We will be back to try more. read more

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

SoNapa Grille has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in Jax Beach. The space offers both a cozy interior and inviting outdoor seating, 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. read more

A first time visit here. This used to be a Roy's restaurant. Still looks nice inside. 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. 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! 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. read more

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! read more

This is a very popular restaurant and bar in Jacksonville Beach offering California inspired foods and wines from Sonoma and Napa Valleys. 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. 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. read more

I was taken here for my birthday dinner a few weeks ago. The food was delicious, the service was excellent & the ambience was very nice. 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. read more

Awesome dining experience! Service was great. Lamb lollichops by far took the best appetizer, and the bread was delicious. We sat in the back room and the Michters old fashioneds came out well. Had the fish special for my main and it was nice and light, fresh. Will have to come back, loved the ambiance. read more

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. We had a super cool booth in the wine room that faced everyone else, made us feel like queens. 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! read more

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. 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. 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. read more

I live 1/2 mile from SoNapa. We've eaten there many times. I looked online to make a reservation and in both seating areas they had reservations every 15 minutes for hours. I drove to the restaurant and five minutes later they would not seat us for an hour. I'm assuming it is because I had my 4 year old and 11 year old with me. read more

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. read more

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 read more

This was the best restaurant experience I've had in a long time. The food here is always excellent, the setting is perfect, and the customer service is consistently very good. But last night, the customer service went above and beyond. I ordered a flatbread, and as usual, it was delicious. After I finished, the manager came out with another one--explaining that the first wasn't up to his standard in size, so he brought me a new one at no extra cost. This was done without a single complaint from me, just his own commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. That kind of ownership and care is rare these days, and it made an already great dining experience truly outstanding. read more

Stopped in for a nightcap after a terrific dinner at Seafood Kitchen. The menu is small but looked very tempting. Next time we are in town we will come in for dinner. We each tried two different wines - Regenerator Red Zin for Carol and a Roth Cab Sauv for me. We then decided to share another glass of the Zin. Our bartender was very attentive even though we were only doing drinks. The overall ambiance of the facility was quite nice and upscale. Definitely a place to visit! read more

Food was absolutely delicious -- Korean bbq ribs had a spicy yeah flavorful sauce, and the ribs themselves were incredibly tender.

SoNapa Grille SO SUCKS. Went there last weekend with a big group. No one will return. My salmon was the worst salmon I ever tasted and the presentation? Both me and my sister said, "It looks like it was just thrown on the plate." Would have liked to have had the sea bass but that was priced at a whopping $51!! We are on the ocean! No reason to pay these kind of prices for mediocrity!! The wines they have for happy hour are rank. Ice cream had no taste. Very poor quality in food. Bartender was very poor but server was very good. Truly disappointed in every way! read more

Absolutely great! Rachel makes my husband a great spicy marg. I still love the chicken marsala. We even had our 25th Anniversary party there. You did a great job in the special room. It was perfect! We have not been disappointed there with a meal. The lobster bisque is maybe the best there is....it's amazing! read more

This was an excellent choice for a relatively early New Year's Eve dinner: very attractive space, very lively energy level, excellent food and service. Our server, Samantha, communicated effectively with the chef to prepare large, perfectly seared sea scallops over wilted spinach; not on the menu as such, but a wonderful way to accommodate my wife's IBS diet. She LOVED this dish. I had the pappardelle Parmesan with shrimp and scallops, which was delicious. We split a garden salad and had an excellent California red blend. Our tab was just over $100 before tip, an excellent value. Highly recommended. read more

In terms of the quality of the entrees, SoNapa is one of my favorite places for a pricier meal in the area. It's clear that the kitchen cares about the quality of the products that are coming out. The thai coconut mixed curry has incredible flavor and textures throughout and is my go to order. If that flavor profile isn't your style, the seafood options are incredible. The ambiance is also wonderful with multiple dining areas and a quiet room in the back called the "barrel room" that you can request with your reservation. The service is impeccable, and I can't recommend their food enough. read more

This is a hard one to write. Let's be clear it has nothing to do with the food as it was amazing. This is a story of sitting at the bar and being discounted and ignored. Upon arrival on a drizzly Friday night we were excited to see two patrons paying and leaving 3 open spots at the bar. Bars are our favorite places. We sat for what seemed like an extended time with dirty dishes and debris before us. Finally a bar tender dropped menus and began to clean our area. The menus stuck to the bar top and made it difficult to pry up to read. Her cleaning continued without a word. She then returned and collected our drink orders. The drinks arrived as ordered. This is where the story gets interesting. The gentleman to my right obviously a regular was advised that the evening special had been saved for him. Just let me know when you want me to put it in. Hello.. we are ready to order and never a mention of nightly special. Guess you have to be special to get the special! But no order for us.. not before we chat with another regular about a 1/15 party. Oh and then there was the other regular that we overheard the conversation and needed an invite. Hello.. can we order Finally order taken.. son orders entree and a side salad.. Time goes on and salad is dropped and Nano seconds later entrees are dropped. No time to eat or enjoy salad. My entree salad needed more dressing but not once were we approached by a bartender/server to ask how our meal was. Finally I got the eye of a server and asked for additional dressing. Time goes on and would love another cocktail but we are still talking about the party on 1/15.. order finally happens and 2nd cocktails served. During this time a couple arrives who really thought they were entitled to our seat one was vacant and the other occupied by my son. We then were subjected to keys being banged on counter. Wine glasses being separated into our area and a helicopter on our back.. This was the most absurd dining experience I have had in a very long time. Perhaps "SoNapa" should become a private club so there front of house staff can fixate on their favorites. My next $$ will be taken to a place where I am appreciated as a customer and not viewed as final check. I so wanted to love this place but it is obvious this place only loves the chosen. read more

Scallops sauce was very complex and amazing. Lamb was perfectly cooked and sauce was good but a touch heavy and covered up the chops flavor with heat. Great ravioli and short ribs. Probably the best saucier in northern Florida. Can't go wrong with here. read more

We sat down immediately in a booth at the bar, it reminded me of other upscale chain restaurants in the area. The food was good and the service was good but there was something missing. The meatloaf was a bit dry and the risotto was over cooked and a bit mushy! We are being very critical because our bill was over $200 so I wanted perfection! Overall it was good but if I'm going to spend that much money then we're probably heading elsewhere! read more

The restaurant was very busy each time we went, not sure if they take reservations but it would be a good idea. We sat on the patio and the weather was perfect. Food was really good, I had the flatbread and pumpkin soup. My coworkers had the meat dishes and they both thought it was the best meal they had that week. Service was not great, but perhaps they were having an off day? I'd go back, and so would my fellow diners. read more

I arrived on the a Friday evening during happy hour, which they offer $2 off wine and cocktails. Their drinks are really good and strong. We were also great by the head chef, who is a really nice guy. After a brief chat, we were seated at the bar area. Beware that this place get crowded quick. My wife ordered lobster bisque soup and salad. Which she said was the best ever. I ordered the burger which was really good, but not the best. They offer their house ketchup which was amazing. Excellent food and service. Our server Wendy was so polite, patient, and attentive. She was able to accommodate my order since I'm extremely picky. She also gave us a sample of their soup. That by itself is a plus, which is why Im giving them five stars. I highly recommend this restaurant, please ask for Wendy, she is the best ever!!! read more

My wife and I had dinner here on Friday evening with my mother and a long time friend who is in town visiting. The food was amazing with some of the most tender meat I've ever tasted. The Chef, Ash did an amazing job on everyone of our dishes. Even came out to introduce and welcome us to the restaurant. Our waitress, Cristina (hope I spelled her name correctly) was also a gem!! We were sad to see that a couple who had come in after us, were upset about someone in our party being too loud and instead of saying something to us, they blamed our waitress AND didn't tip her. WOW!!! That's ok, we made sure to tip her over 60% of our bill!! Message to the owner... Ash and Cristina were amazing and handled everything with class... unlike some of your patrons! read more

Absolutely delicious! The edamame pot stickers were so flavorful and had a wonderful crispy/crunch, cooked perfectly. The Coconut curry dish combined sweet and savory along with tantalizing textures.

She made excellent suggestions and was very attentive. I will gladly return and recommend to others! read more

I would like to preface this with I have visited the Ormond Beach location as well as the Daytona location, and although the food is consistently good, this location is THE BEST! First of all, Ryan, (aqua man look alike) with the personality of a heart of gold, WOW'd us in every way tonight! One of the best servers we've ever had in our lives!!! Margaritas were amazing and came out so quickly! Tuna tacos and bacon wrapped scallops were divine and also came out quickly!! I had the Korean ribs and mom had the rack of lamb. Everything was over the top phenomenal!!!! Bread pudding to end the night was the icing on the cake. What I really enjoyed about Ryan was even though he was slammed, he would stop and make us a priority. Top notch food and drinks. Do yourself a favor and come here and ask for Ryan. read more

We ordered carry-out food. It looked promising after reading the reviews. The person who took our order was very helpful and friendly. I wish the food was as good as the reviews said. The bison bolognese was served on what tasted like house-made fresh pasta! A definite plus but what should have been a great dish was ruined by too much salt. We LOVE salty food but this was over the top! If you have any BP or kidney problems, beware of the salt!! The Korean rib appetizer also looked so inviting-- glistening and nicely presented. But again, waaaayyyyy to salty. Tender but deadly salty. I wish I could say that one of the dishes we ordered was good... but the meatloaf although not salty was totally dry. I think it would be nice if someone tasted the dishes that came out of the kitchen. Maybe just not a good day for the kitchen but am afraid we won't go back. read more

This was my first visit to SoNapa. Went with a friend to enjoy happy hour, they were quite busy. Sat at one of the high tops in the bar, it took a little long for us to be greeted, another table sat after us and was greeted first, that's the only negative I have as once the server came to the table the service was excellent. Started with a glass of Seghesio Red Zinfandel, Sonoma County, it was a nice full body Zin. We split the Bacon wrapped scallops, edamame potstickers, Knights Valley flatbread (Steak, mozzarella and blue cheese, red onions, balsamic reduction). They all were excellent, the scallops were on the smaller size but delicious. The flatbread had a nice tangy blue cheese, The edamame potstickers were very unique and I enjoyed the sauces on the plate. I will definitely be going back to enjoy these appetizers and to try a meal. I recommend you giving it a try yourself. read more
