“Absolutely top-notch! We have very discriminating palets and see no reason to go out to eat if we can’t get good service. SoNappa is 100% on point! Our first visit was to the Ormond location, which was also absolutely spectacular, which led us to visiting the New Smyrna Beach location. This location is much larger with dining indoors, upstairs and downstairs along with patio service.
Our server was Amanda and we have every intention of asking for her in the future. We were so happy to have all of our expectations met.
Presentation, flavor, portion sizes, and value is completely there. It’s an experience rarely found in Volusia County. The atmosphere and vibe is absolutely there for everybody from every walk of life. This restaurant in particularly this location is extremely highly recommended from someone who usually only goes out to eat when I can have a chef tasting or Michelin star experience. There’s absolutely no reason to be on the fence on whether or not you should go. Sorry no photos, I was busy being present with the awesome experience.”
“Went with friends on Easter Sunday - we made a reservation and everything was great. Table was nice we sat right down and the food was timely and delicious. The sangria is amazing. Can’t wait to go back ,thanks Michelle!”
“First time at Voo La Voo cafe - what an amazing culinary experience! Sylvie, the owner/chef prepared the most succulent tasting crepe, stuffed with goat cheese, mushrooms and spinach. Additionally, we tasted her partner’s Larry mouthwatering Lemoncelli cake. We sure will return to try more menu options.”
“Friendly atmosphere drop your cares at the door! A place that makes you smile”

“Exceptional Green Curry. Blonde Waitress was a very positive person who complimented the good vibe of the restaurant.”
“The food is absolutely the best in new Smyrna! the black and mahi is to die for service is great. I must try.!”
“I wanted to try a different restaurant and A friend recommended as a nice place and said the food was “ok”. So My first time visiting Corkscrew Bar and Grille and I agreed with her. The food wasn’t bad but was just OK and average. The atmosphere was awesome! Nice Upscale. I would probably only go back if I went with others that specifically wanted to go there. They also offer outside seating. Pretty pricey.”

“Great wines, fun, and wonderful staff! 🌹🌹”
“Best place in town! Bartenders are super friendly, excellent service and delicious food!”
“Budget Tip: If you want the experience without the $200 price tag, their Happy Hour (usually until 5:30 PM or 6:00 PM) offers $10 cocktails and smaller "Spott Sliders" or "Hot Honey Shrimp" for $12–$16, which can bring a meal for two down to around $80–$100.”
“Simply wonderful at every bite.
We have been planning to visit the Bakers Table for a few years now , but never really had time. Today that was remedied.
We truly enjoyed each dish we ordered for lunch/brunch !!
Every dish had its own unique flair with fresh ingredients and nothing was over done or over seasoned.
Shrimp and grits - my favorite ever.
New England clam chowder - perfect.
Shaved prime rib sandwich - fresh and amazing.
Pastries - delicious
Cappuccino- delightful
Aaron - our server was amazing and perfectly attentive with great knowledge of every dish. Our water glass was never empty.
We will definitely return here at our next opportunity.”

“Big Joe's is a local favorite. It's been there for as long as I can remember. The service is always on point and the subs are delicious. I think its the bread (amazong bread) that makes the sandwich but it could also be the meat. Everything is always fresh.. portions are always large and ive never been disappointed.
My only warning is.. once you go.. you will go again and again.
It's always packed for a reason!

“Had a wonderful evening with some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had the steak fajitas with the side dish is just a wonderful meal. What made it super special was our wonderful waiter Luis B. 🎵😎🌮He was so friendly and upbeat and super accommodating. Thanks so much, Luis.”
“last night was our 17th wedding anniversary and we chose Bella Valentino’s for dinner. They took reservations which is a plus and when we were running late, they said don’t rush and we will change it to 7 see you when you get here. we didn’t feel like we upset anyone and we felt very welcomed. We got there and immediately was greeted by Paula (who we found out was one of the owners) and she told us all about the place and the special features that her husband and staff would be creating tonite. Once we sat we were not only greeted by the server who took our drink order but brought fresh bread and bruschetta to the table. (soo good by the way) The wine was terrific and let me tell you what else was. The shrimp 🦐 appetizer, the Pear pasta purses and the escargot. (There was four of us, relax lol) But then came our entrees. I had a taste of everyone’s and they were all amazing but mine was the best. I had the eggplant 🍆 and shrimp 🍤 parmigian. Holy smokes it was yummy!!! We ended up hanging out there for a total of 3 hours, I mean we literally closed the place down but not before dessert!! We had tiramisu, and two others I can’t remember but what I do remember is that their 80 plus year old mom makes all the desserts and there were like 10 or so options. Yum yum yum and more yum. We ended the evening with espressos and more wine 🍷. We had more amazing conversation with Paula and the staff (her family) and then we finally made our way to the car. Long story short we will be back time and again! Amazing place for dinner if you are looking for great food, romantic and cozy atmosphere with the friendliest staff ever‼️ I have never been treated so well at a restaurant before and if there was a 6th star to give I would give them six because it was really that good. So thank you Paula and everyone at Bella Valentino’s for making our 17th wedding anniversary a memorable one! -Albert Amalfitano”
“Simply a first class Italian fine dining restaurant. Excellent menu and wine selections. Attractive, classy ambiance. Attentive and personable staff and the food is excellent.”
“Such a wonderful addition to Canal Street. The atmosphere is quaint, the food so good, service outstanding. Husband had hamburger and French fries, I had Eggplant Parmigiana with a very fresh side salad. I felt the prices very fair and the menu to suite many tastes. . It will become one of my favorite restaurants in New Smyrna.”

“I literally just left Brew. Ate my crunch wrap honey chicken siracha deal and I couldn’t wait to review this yummy of a wrap. A Must get! And I’m a great critic! Place looked amazing inside. Very cozy and the espresso was delicious too. Everything about this place! I give it an 11 out of 10! Will definitely be back!”

“Great tasting and hot.
Didn’t love the unusual smoked pepperoni, but that’s a personal preference. Delivery estimate was off by 10 minutes on a holiday weekend - that’s understandable. Overall, excellent! Thank you!”
“My husband and I love Italian spots — we were excited to try a new place in NSB and we were not disappointed. We started our meal with a perfect bottle of sauvignon blanc, complimentary olives, and the whipped ricotta appetizer (10/10 recommend). We both love spicy vodka sauce so we couldn’t resist. I went with the spicy vodka pasta with shrimp and my husband enjoyed the special, which was a lobster ravioli with the same sauce. Absolutely perfect; great spice and even better flavor. The vibes inside are cozy, yet sophisticated and a little moody in the best way. We can’t wait to come back 🍝🍷”

“Jayde was an awesome server! Friendly and helpful. Food was amazing. Drinks were fabulous too! The saxophone added to the ambience. One of NSB best restaurants. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I revised this review to 5 stars. The manager reached out to me within minutes of posting my original review—Julia—to address my experience and that really impressed me. Thank you, Julia. I respect that. 5 stars.
Original post:
Maybe I am just being spiteful. I admit that. However, I went into this bar/restaurant because I was parked at the public beach parking next door and the meter could not accept credit card payments—it was broken. I asked if they could break a hundred dollar bill and they flat said no. She said they didn’t have it. The bar was packed. I find that hard to believe. She didn’t ask any of the servers or the manager. I realize it is a restaurant and not a bank but the interaction just felt discourteous. I worked in the service industry for years and it just was not personable. End rant lol. I will be at the beach all day but I will not be taking my family to this restaurant for lunch or dinner. Not today or ever. And I’m posting this review because that is the impact of a negative service interaction”
“I love the Flagler Tavern atmosphere and staff. However the burger sliders were not favorable at all! They were the most overcooked and smallest sliders that I have ever had and were not up to Flagler Tavern standards. I’m sure I will be back as a Loyalty member but will probably pass on the apps.”
“Have eaten here 3 times in 2 months! Food, presentation and staff were terrific! Everything was outstanding and we can’t wait to return to NSB to eat here again!”

“Their croissants are unbelievably scrumptious! We've been a faithful customer since the 70s when we lived in New Smyrna Beach! Some things you will always remember and their pastries are right at the top of our list! we return to this wonderful place every time we visit Florida and it's always as yummy as we remember! Don't change a thing!”
“This is the best coffee shop on Flagler avenue!!!! coffee shop is just adorable! Super great spot to sit and enjoy local roasted coffee and pastries. The service was wonderful and our barista was so friendly and helpful. They also have some amazing gelatos! I would 10/10 recommend”
“This is the greatest place I’ve ever been! Came highly recommended. Birthday dinner. Pulled up, it was packed. Seated in less than 20 minutes. Our appetizers came out quickly. The”garlic” and bread…. Omg! Dinner was out of this world!! 32oz rib eye! Wow! Cooked to perfection! The decor is spectacular, plants, garlic hanging from the ceiling too much to mention. All staff very friendly and professional! Thank you to “Lucky” our server! Very knowledgeable and packed our “to go” carefully for our bike ride back to Satellite Beach. Definitely our new found favorite place!! Be back soon!”
“My husband and I enjoyed dinner here this evening. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was gorgeous and our server was super friendly! I had the coconut curry with fish and shrimp! Best curry dish I have ever had!”

“We’ve eaten there for two days in a row! Our Airbnb host recommended it, so we went just across the street and arrived late, but Sarah was a JEWEL!! We dined outside to enjoy the nice breeze. Today, we decided to do carry out, and they remembered my husband and even asked where his wife was… very thoughtful! You rarely find that kind of service! Their food is delicious, and plenty of it! Hats off to them for clean restaurant, great prices and friendly service and cooks. We’ll definitely return on our next trip to New Smyrna Beach! Kimberly and Galen Roberts Chattanooga, TN”
“Good food and service. Our server, Christian, did a great job and was friendly and helped us make choices on the menu. Service was prompt and attentive. We also found out he's from Denmark and our daughter and her husband had just hosted an exchange student from Denmark last year!”
“JBs is one of the best places on earth. Fantastic seafood, drinks, service, music and atmosphere bring it all together at the Mecca. Been coming here since I was a kid and don’t plan to stop!!”

“Wonderful facility who hosted our 4th Annual Raynor Strong bicycle ride and provided our riders with A/C, snacks and refreshments. They even had a woman sing the National Anthem before the race started, which was very moving. We appreciate your support and hospitality very much ❤️👮🚴♀️”
“It's a cool place to hang out have some drinks meet people there's arcade and casino games pool tournaments trivia tournaments and trivia for amusement and the staff for all pretty great pet friendly ice cold beer and drinks big screen TVs sporting events and things like that do star boards ringtones thing ring on a string with a hook thing it's it's a nice place so make sure if you go to YouTube well bartenders are all cool but tough which is a good thing so yeah I give him five rotten tomatoes and five a five stars”
“First visit to this culivers and was quick getting my order and the waitress Breanna was going above and beyond her job duties helping customers feel at ease tending to their every need, I was happy she was the waitress on the floor. Great service friendly workers!!”
“I want to like this place more. Great prices, great service, probably the only true hole in the wall place in all of NSB. Unpretentious, open late, has its own vibe. But..the smell is hard to deal with. It smells like an old musty back bedroom in grandmas house. And the bathroom smells like rotten piss. As constructive criticism…please fix this.
Edit: They haven’t said anything but the last couple times I’ve been in there it’s noticeably better. Maybe it’s a coincidence maybe it’s not but at any rate….thanks for the improvement.”

“i wrote this once but i am not sure if it actually posted. there was this super cute ginger that worked there and omg i can’t even stress how cute he was. he was rlly tall and ginger. if anyone knows who he is, help a girl out and lmk?. i was too scared to ask for his number but he was adorable.”
“Loved it here for lunch as did our guests. Riverdeck did a great job on the renovations, clean, bright, tables on the deck ,not crowded in and with a beautiful river view all around. Interesting menu choices, lots of fun cocktails too. We had the pleasure of meeting BRAKUS (not sure of sp) on his first day there as a server. He was quite personable, fun, and entertaining! He will definitely be a great asset to the restaurant! The pesto shrimp flatbread and ahi tuna app were very good. My husband had a burger that had ham , cheese, onion rings, bacon stacked on it.. it was over 4 -5 in high.. difficult to eat but good. * I really dislike when ppl give ratings of 1 or 2 ‘based on an issue such as valet, or club colors ’. Not food/service. Doesn’t seem fair. I can see why they use valet, the parking lot has ruts that rainwater accumulates in, ppl would get wet getting in or out of their cars.”

“This was a quaint little spot “off the beaten path” in New Smyrna that was a pleasant surprise! My husband got the Curry and I got the Pad Thai and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. YUM. I also got Boba, which is one of my favorite things. I highly recommend this spot!”
“Definitely could use some serious updating done.to the rooms considering how over priced this place is per night they charge just as much as some 3 and 4 star hotels over on beachside in daytona. Although the tiki bar definitely makes up for the lack of attention these rooms get from the staff here.
/2026
Looks like there have been some updates to these rooms and some other improvements around the property not sure how the room rates have or have not changed to date but I wouldn't imagine they have changed too much since my last review.”
“Saw their truck around and decided to check them out since I needed some work done before selling my house. They were able to get everything wrapped up cleanly, right on schedule. A few hiccups with communication, but overall no complaints about the work itself. Made my life a bit easier during a busy time (and that’s helpful).”
“Never been to a Starbicks before but wanted to try something new. Ive always got the Caramel frappucinos from McDonalds. But today I ordered the Starbucks Caramel Ribbon Crunch frappacino. And Zinnia the server was amazing. She was patient with me while I asked questions. And then when I got to the window, I had a mishap, but she helped me out. So I got to try the frappacino even when my internet unexpectedly came out of my account. Now, I will never see McDonalds Frappacinos the same. The Starbucks one, though kinda expensive, is so worth it. So all in all, the drink. Amazing. The store. Amazing. And Zinnia? Absolutely superb!! Thanks for a wonderful first experience.”

“excellent food, drinks, and service. Michele was our server and extremely knowledgeable of ALL menu items. If you like bloody Marys, the Holy Mary was delicious, just like an appetizer...lol. I highly recommend the place and Michele!”
