The place has a nice ambiance. The food is good (not amazing, but good.) After waiting over an hour to be seated... as it was clearly understaffed, the pace once we sat down was not any better. We ordered two appetizers and two entrees that came out well - cooked but took a long time. Never a peep from a manager, or a comped or discounted meal for our inconvenience and FOREVER time waiting to sit and for our food!! Oh, and then at the end of the meal we split our bill. One cash and the other credit. Waited for the receipt from the cash.... never came.... notified the manager.... who insisted there wasn't a second receipt! It wasn't the waitress's fault... We were waiting for that receipt to tip her! The manager never apologized for his mistake, or our wait for the food. Won't be back. Sadly, it was one of the only better options in New Smyrna. Back to Norwoods we go.... though it isn't much better food wise. I guess you have to choose slow service at SoNapa and a RUDE manager, or crappy food at Norwoods.... I'd be open to any better suggestions to eat while over there.
Review Source:Delightful evening with my wife and her parents. The menu is great. Ambiance is very nice with clean lines and vaulted ceiling, but it is a bit noisy. We had the signature salad (fresh and crisp, side salad-size, just right. This is a bit overpriced ala cart, but cheap to add on to an entré) and the lobster bisque (rich, flavorful) for appetizers. For mains: Sonoma Farms Chicken juicy with nice flavors and not too much sauce; Meatloaf, which is a very personal thing, was okay but preferred ketchup to the fancy sauce; Chicken ravioli which was perfectly cooked, covered in rich, creamy alfredo-tomato sauce; vegan flat-bread that they created for me off-menu with onions, mushrooms, spinach with a balsamic reduction -- loved it. We also loved the sweet-potato tater-tots with truffle oil (don't waste these on children). Crème brûlée cheesecake with a lovely crust and ample size to share. The server was very good, but the pace was too slow (we arrived at 7 and didn't get our entrées until after 8). Definitely will return!
Review Source:I loved the old location. Â They had wonderful wine and service. The food was pretty good.
Nothing like that at the new location. The wine selection is nothing. No nice wines like before. The server had NO wine knowledge. Â The Flat breads fell short from what they were.
We decided to cancel our dinner order after we go the appetizers and move to another location.
Went to the fall wine tasting dinner last night. Â The owner Brad and his lovely wife were our hosts. Â Four course dinner with a blind wine tasting contest for each course. Â The person who was able to correctly name the wine won a bottle of it. Â The food was amazing (they graciously accommodated my vegan menu request) and the service and atmosphere were outstanding. Â Looking to come back to this gem in the near future!
Review Source:I've been to SoNapa more times than I can count and the food, service and atmosphere is incredible!  The mayor is a young and hip smart man who knows how to run a business AND the city  :)  Go Adam!
The lobster bisque is amazing and so are the salads...its great to go there and have a great glass of wine filled by one of the wonderful bartenders and have some food/drinks with friends.
We have been dining at SoNapa for several years now. Â SoNapa has been one of our favorite restaurants since our first visit (5 years ago). Â We can always count on a great meal, great atmosphere and also great service. Â We are also very happy with the new location. Â I especially LOVE the salmon, but recently had a Mahi dish and loved that as well.
Review Source:I came to this place after a Paddleboard Orlando race in NSB. The owner of So Napa is also the Mayor of NSB and one of the coolest people I've met in awhile. He's one of those people who have a glowing aura around them you can't help but enjoy. The atmosphere of this place is elegant yet fun. The outdoor seating is really cozy and they've got some great wines and napa beers to quench your thirst.
I ordered a few appetizers and the fresh catch of the day. Everything was very well made and our waiter was on top of his game making sure we enjoyed everything. I had a spectacular meal and can't wait till this restaurant comes to Maitland next year!!
(07/30/2010) Nice selection of mid-range, Calfornia wines. Â Frequently updated, seasonal small plates. Â Tried the Yountsville artichoke dip, creamy enough (small portion), savory with parmesan; Knights Valley flat bread (delicious mix of savory beef, sharp blue cheese, sweet carmelized onions, with a little acid from the balsamic drizzle); tuna sashimi, your now-familar seared tuna steak with the usual sushi fixings (soy, wasabi, pickled ginger), serviceable. Â Cozy, dimly lit, seems like a place your first date would take you. Â Something a little different for NSB.
Review Source:I'm a big fan of So Napa as they have brought a classy place to NSB.  Originally located in the Publix  shopping center, they've moved over to a lovely new location but brought the charm and class with them.
The menu is varied with a lot of tasty dishes...don't miss one of the flatbeds...in fact you could make a meal on just the and the wine!
A few of us at our table ordered the apple salad which was terrific, and my petite filet was just perfect. Â I went for the blue cheese topping, which was excellent but a little strong...next time I'll ask for it on the side.
The music was a little loud when we were there, which didn't really jive with the ambiance, but was adjusted quickly.
Service was great, food and wine all excellent. Â Can't wait to return!
I'm torn about this place. Â It was very comfortable and wine at $2.75 a glass during happy hour is a pretty good deal. Â We had flat breads and salads and it was all good but nothing was great. Â The most disturbing thing was that someone thought they should play an entire Eagles concert on all the TV's in the place. Â Now there may be a couple of Eagles songs that I like but I really don't want to be inundated with those insipid songs throughout my evening out. Â I mean really... life is too short to waste on an entire evening with the Eagles! Â Vary the music and I may come back.
