SoNapa Grille - Restaurant in New Smyrna Beach - 3406 S Atlantic Ave, USA

Second time here. The dishes looked very appetizing, but we were disappointed with the taste of the main entrees. The tuna nachos were very good. Lots of tune and good flavor. Mushrooms are an essential ingredient to chicken marsal, and yet, there were hardly any. The only "flavorful" part of the dish was the sauce and there wasn't much flavor. The Risotto was creamy and flavorful. The chicken was cooked perfectly. If you want a vegetable, however, you are going to have to pay for it. The chicken came with asparagus, but it was probably one stalk cut up as a garnish. The meatloaf was ok, but the onions on top had no flavor to them, which was disappointing. The best part of the meal was the bread pudding. One of the best I have ever had. We will definitely go back to try other items.

My friend picked this restaurant for us to have a late dinner and I was impressed. We started out with the SoNapa Nachos, the marinaded raw yellow fin tuna chunks were fresh, tender, flavorful with sesame overtone, generous amount of fish lends to the main flavor of this dish, the wasabi garlic aioli has a nice punch and a welcome addition on the cripsy wonton “tortilla chips”. The Kobe/pork meatloaf was divine, condensed beef flavor that almost knocks you out of your seat…the mushroom chardonnay gravy is succinct with the meatloaf and highlights the profile with great fanfare. The cheesy scalloped Yukon gold taters made me smile as each bite was relished with anticipation. We had the bread pudding with candied pecans with gelato (this was the better of the two and had us fighting over the last crumbs on the plate) the pineapple upside down cake with vanilla ice cream. The caramelized pineapple was warm and luscious, tangy yet sweet and buttery. We left satiated and satisfied, I highly recommend SoNapa and it’s a new favorite place for me. You can taste the difference…the clean ingredients, the complex flavors that play well with the wine selection, relaxed atmosphere and eclectic menu that gets you excited about their cuisine. Well done!

Love this place!! Food was fantastic and service was great!! I had the tuna salad, not much flavor on the tuna, but still very good. My husband loved his smash burger. It was cooked perfectly and juicy . My MIL got the Ruben sliders that came on pretzel rolls with pickled onions. The French fries were amazing and came out hot. The margarita was another do not miss item. So are the Thai Chilli Brussel sprouts, they come as a side item, however we ordered as an appertizer and loved them. I almost forgot to take a picture so bowl does not show how full it was. The place is very clean and the servers were very nice and professional. Seems like a place were the locals hang out.

We arrived at SoNapa Grille without reservations at about 6:30PM on a Saturday and we greeted right away and sat immediately at an inside booth. Deanna was our waitress. She was warm, welcoming, attentive and professional! We enjoy the variety and the taste of everything we’ve eaten at SoNapa Grille and we will be back! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

We were in town visiting family and asked locals for good food in a quiet setting for our anniversary dinner. SoNapa was one that was recommended quite a bit. Sara, our waitress was phenomenal. She was courteous, very knowledgeable and gave great advice. We never wanted for anything before she was there to ask. We started with the Brie. My wife ordered the Filet Medallions which were incredible. I ordered the lobster bisque which was delicious. My meal was the seafood special and it was light and fresh with fish, shrimp and lump crab over squid ink pasta. Very nice dish. After dinner Sara suggested the bread pudding. One of my favorite deserts ever (our first time for this desert). Overall it was a great experience. Right across from the beach, we went on a stroll on the beach afterwards. Thanks Sara and SoNapa for an amazing night!

I have been here 2 times. We had a table of 9 the second time and everyone enjoyed their meals. Drinks were good- a bit too sweet for me. It was loud on the main floor. Upstairs was taken already when I made my reservations. The first time we showed up at 8pm and got a booth in the corner. Food was amazing both times. The wine is very good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. And best of all I can walk there!

Our service and outside seating were the best. Second time eating there and as I ordered the scallops both times, they were consistently delicious. The fresh catch was grouper. Cooked well and light flavor. I wasn't big on the risotto but it was very pleasing because I shared mine with my boyfriends steak medallions and potatoes which was equally cooked perfectly. I wish I could remember her name and I even specifically asked her. Anyway thank you to the blonde waitress! From Jared and Ashleigh 11/08

Oh my goodness you need to go... I've been to both New Smyrna and Ormond beach SoNapa Grille. Although I've been to New Smyrna the most... both have excellent food, well made cocktails, and a pleasant, welcoming atmophere. The staff are all very friendly, helpful, professional and fun! I highly recommend SoNapa Grille!
