What diners say — our read

The recurring subject in this corpus is the staff, not the food in general. Where front-of-house comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.8, so it reads as a strength.

Of the 28 rated reviews, 27 sit at four stars or better and 1 at two or below. No one in this corpus comments on speed of service at all. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (26 of 28).

On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (96/100), with 1 intermediate and 1 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. The visit behind that grade was March 16, 2026. On health score it sits safer than 73% of the Volusia County restaurants we grade. For specifics, the last inspection cited wiping cloths.

Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

    We keep coming back for all our special occasions. Great anniversary diner!!

    Love the food and the atmosphere, and I would definitely recommend coming here. The reason I did not give five stars is because a restaurant of this caliber should provide the proper glasses for drinking red wine. My husband, who was a wine wholesaler for many years, was quite upset because he ordered an expensive glass of red wine, but it was provided to him in a white wine glass. I guess the average person wouldn't really care about this, but anyone who knows good wine would probably prefer that their wine be served in the appropriate size glass.. Other than that, the place was very good.

    Large group of ladies, every meal, service and drinks were perfection. Attention to our group was amazing. Thank you to Nick and his team for making our dinner out , one to remember!! Sarah M and Lauren were very attentive and always smiling. Great evening spent with great service, food and attitude!

    Amazing!! The service wa exceptional. The food was probably one of the best we’ve had in the area. We enjoyed spinach dip, short rib ravioli, the fish special and yes the donut bread pudding!! We will be visiting again

    Sarah was amazing and food was fantastic!!!

    Service at the bar was abysmal, for a Monday night especially.. trying to buy a nice bottle of wine and watch the nba finals. They tell me they don’t have a full wine list and they can’t find it, and say I need to walk to the wall of wine and then ask for prices. While there’s tables dining in that area of the restaurant.. just weird. Never asked how the food was, just purely taking orders and not giving any service. I left after an appetizer and cocktail. If I’m going out and willing to spend $200-300 for one person, at least give an ounce of effort. I’ll spend my money somewhere else gladly.

    Sarah M. was the best server i’ve ever had, so so so sweet. She’s was adorable. The mushroom ravioli was amazing and the prime ribeye was so so delicious and I will be coming back to request Sarah again.

    Wonderful dinner at SoNapa Grille! The food was great, but our waitress Kylie truly made the night. She was personable and on top of everything all evening. We even had a fun moment teaching her the difference between “pecan” and “pecan” — she was a great sport! Highly recommend, and ask for Kylie- Prost !
