About

The secret of SoNapa Grille is in the name, which is a tip of the hat to California's Sonoma County and Napa Valley wine regions. While it began as a wine-tasting club, SoNapa Grille has become a popular dining option in Jacksonville.

Your dining experience can best be summed up by the website's motto: "Taste. Toast. Together." Here, you can sip exquisite California wines paired with chef-inspired cuisine that, like wine, must be savored to be enjoyed.

The founders of SoNapa Grille, no doubt passionate about California wine, are equally passionate about friendships and savory fare. They add that the best way to sum up dining at the eatery is that it's more of a lifestyle than a restaurant. Here, you celebrate camaraderie, delicious cuisine, and delightful conversation.

SoNapa Grille's menu features fresh seafood and hearty meats, each prepared with intention. Sustainable practices are central to its philosophy, which prioritizes farm-to-table freshness.

The restaurant's central location makes it easy to visit local landmarks like Atlantic Beach followed by a delightful meal at SoNapa Grille. Like California, the vibe is casual while exuding an upscale decor. Don't equate this with snobbery or pretentiousness. Instead, picture an atmosphere with a friendly mood, making for a memorable dining experience.

Vibe

The exterior of SoNapa Grille welcomes you with a modern yet warm aesthetic. The building features a mix of wood and sleek glass accents, reflecting Jacksonville's contemporary vibe.

The interior's wood decor, tables, and flooring set the tone for a romantic evening or special dinner after a game at the Jacksonville Beach Golf Club. But the elegance is subtle, and it would also appeal to families or groups out for a fun night on the town.

The bar is suitable for solo diners or those wanting a place to watch the game on the flatscreen TVs while enjoying drinks and chef-crafted fare.

Unlike many fine dining establishments, where conversations are a whisper, the atmosphere at SoNapa Grille is jovial and lively. Laughter and stories flow like wine to create a communal atmosphere where dining is a celebration.

SoNapa Grille: Menu & Drinks

The menu is a fusion of East and West Coast cuisines with a few twists, making it one of the best dining options in Jacksonville.

Kick off your meal with an appetizer like the Korean BBQ Ribs! The meat is tender and moist, seasoned with sesame seeds and green onions. The ribs are served with Korean street fries and are a favorite with guests.

For a healthy option, select any of their outstanding salads. One favorite is the Dutton Ranch Apple Chicken, which features mixed greens, grilled chicken, dried cranberries, roasted pecans, blue cheese, and apple vinaigrette. The "Choose Two" option lets you combine soup, salad, or flatbreads for a meal uniquely yours.

Speaking of flatbreads, SoNapa features standouts that reflect its California roots. One example is the Central Valley, which features Mission figs, prosciutto, goat cheese, caramelized onions, arugula, and balsamic reduction.

Regarding entrees, the Mushroom & Cabernet Meatloaf is not your mom's special! This comfort food centers around Kobe beef and pork blended with spices and covered in a portobello mushroom and cabernet sauce. The meatloaf comes with white cheddar scalloped potatoes, making it a hearty meal after a day at Thompson Surf School.

Other notables are the SoNapa Smash Burger, the Sonoma Style Chicken, and the Highway 29 Famous Pork Chop. Add in the Thai Coconut Curry Mixed Grill, and you can easily see how diverse the menu is.

When you are ready to toast your adventures at Bird Island Park, the wine selection at SoNapa Grille will amaze you! And if you prefer a craft cocktail, the mixologists can fashion anything you crave.

Should I worry about sharks at Daytona Beach?

Florida is famously known for its beaches, and, truth be told, the state is home to 9 out of 10 cities with the most shark attacks since 1642. While neighboring New Smyrna Beach and Daytona top that list of over 350 years, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission states you shouldn’t be worried about a shark attack. Stay alert to any warnings or announcements, and here are some shark pointers to keep in mind when hitting the Florida waves:

Stay in groups and don’t wander too far from shore
Avoid swimming at dawn or dusk or in areas with a lot of fishing
Limit splashing and don’t make sudden or erratic movements
Don’t wear shiny jewelry or enter the ocean if you have an open cut (or are bleeding at all)
Build sandcastles and sunbathe on land.
