“Meal was good. Only thing that I wasnt really happy with with the oversized Brie fruit platter that I ordered for appetizer. Didn't really fit in as an appetizer and the size was way too big. Most went to waste. More like a dessert course.“

“I love this place their only downfall is they arent open for dinner.. Indiana tenderloin, biscuits and gravy, corn beef omelet, country fried steak ALL DELICIOUS!“

“Where to begin?! We went for supper last night with a friend visiting from out of town. It was a first time for all of us and we were absolutely BLOWN AWAY! From the tastiness of a simple appetizer [herbed bread with butter, pesto, and olive oil for dipping], to the incredible entrées [filet medallions with Parmesan risotto, chicken carbonara], and ending with one of the most decadent desserts [brownie a la mode] we had ever had, all of us left talking about it and planning our next visit. It was so, so delicious. We were able to speak with the manager Nick, and he was beyond pleasant and friendly. My husband and I have both worked in restaurants before and to see a manager take such time and care in ensuring guests are happy and enjoying themselves is next level service. Our waitress Katelyn was wonderful as well, and funny by joining in and cracking some jokes back at my husband. We cannot say enough positive things about SoNapa, specifically this Ormond location. We will most certainly be back and highly recommend going to see for yourself! No photos because we were living in the moment and savoring every single bite!!“

“the restaurant is located in ocean jewels resort . the restaurant is extremely clean. I have food allergies an the lady let me read the labels , made my hamburger with cheese no bun. I substituted a fruit cup for French fries. that was a bit skimpy, even tho I paid a $ additional $3.00. my husband ordered BLT, he was happy with it . a bit pricey but the food is excellent and it's very clean. the only issue I had was the trainee perhaps? eating a biscuit right behind the counter“

“Food was really good, my wife dinner was a small portion for the price. But she said the food was very good. I had the fish dinner and it was good.“

“Shay was our server and made our first Cheddar’s experience positive and inviting. The food was great and was served in large portions. I also highly recommend the strawberry lemonade— will definitely come back when we come through the area!“

“Overall good experience. My fiance and I picked this restaurant for our date night because of the reviews. Our server was great, she was attentive and stopped by our table an appropriate amount of times. We started with drinks , the mango martini was perfect, my drink not so much. I had a Malibu somerhing. We ordered the goat cheese platter as a starter and it was amazing. Probably my favorite part of the night. We picked simple dishes, the street tacos and the burger. I hate to say I was a little disappointed. The chicken street tacos had little seasoning , the burger seemed more like meat loaf than a nice burger. I still think this restaurant deserves a chance , maybe we will stop by again and try different dishes. Hope you have a great experience!“

“Our server Stephanie was absolutely wonderful, as always! She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect, and her friendly, attentive service truly makes the experience memorable. The food was great (the wings especially hit the spot!), but Stephanie is a big part of why we keep coming back. She’s a real asset to the team, and we’ll definitely be back again soon!“

“Very nice facilities super helpful pleasant employees and a delicious Indiana Pork (Bigfoot) tenderloin. Brussel sprouts and coleslaw were on point too.“

“Such a laid-back and Chill Spot to take a lunch. Not to mention the wonderful customer service and staff. If you notice, the more years go by the more we lack in customer service. Will this place just restored my faith in the field of customer satisfaction. Food is top quality with premium ingredients and very well reasonably priced. I will be back at least once or twice a week. Thankfully I only work walking distance.“

“I am so happy that this restaurant has vegan options! Plus they fixed my dish without oil. I should've asked for no salt, too, because I found my dish too heavily seasoned with something that they said wasn't salt but it sure tasted that way. Enjoyed that yummy green juice and ate the tofu and gluten-free avocado toast and sent back the potatoes for a fresh order, no seasoning. Perfect! They were happy to accommodate. Will definitely go back!“

“Best breakfast in town, been going since the 90’s.“

“Kudos to the drive-thru team on 10/7! I made an unusual request, and four employees came to the window to help understand and fulfill it — all with big smiles. What an amazing team! This was some of the best customer service I’ve seen in a long time.“

“If you get the chance to try their food, TAKE IT! From the chicken Alfredo to their rice bowls, everything tastes fresh and hot, and seasoned to perfection. Their rice bowls are something special. If you have one, you’re gonna want another.“

“My family hosted an 80th birthday party at Flagsticks and it was amazing! John and his staff were extremely attentive to our needs and requests during the planning, the implementation and execution of the party. The food display was magnificent. The service was superb and the attention to detail was on point. This location is the perfect spots for locals to host events!“

“Good food“

“Good restaurant, liked the food and the staff was friendly. You do need to check into the community as a guest, so just drive up to the gate and let them you want to go to the restaurant. I had a burger and it came with am inch thick patty!“

“Along with many awesome visits here, we had our daughters rehearsal dinner at Ocean Breeze and I can’t compliment Jimmy and his team enough!

“This is cutest place! I visited Daytona Beach for my birthday. I met some friends from out of town that rode on the plane with a guy that recommended this location. Robin and Charlotte waited on us when we visited and we had an amazing time talking with them. We ordered the lobster rolls, Caesar salad, cookies and cream gelato, and key lime pie. The food was amazing!! We’re glad that we made the trip. I’ll definitely be visiting again! If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant!!“
