“First time visiting - I’ve always heard great reviews My Mom eats organic so we went to check it out for family dinner Beautiful dining room as well as outside seating / I believe they have an event space as well - tucked in venue off US 1 - you’d never know it’s back there We started with lobster bisque - flavorful and tasty Had steaks as entrees - cooked as requested - seasoned well with mash & veg Hubby had sea bass - fresh and flaky with rice & veg This restaurant is a “special occasion “ type place for us - but worth its reputation“

“Had the pleasure of eating dinner here last night , staff super friendly, food was awesome!!!“

“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!!“

“Our family absolutely loved it! I had a Model A and it was delicious!“

“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.“

“5 stars! Best hidden gem in Daytona !!!“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE 💕 FRAZE’s cooking no matter what my husband & I order it is YOP NOTCH. Especially love the Pot Roast!! And no one can beat their Cole Slaw!!!!“

“Great place all the way around! Awesome food! Great staff! Don't skip out on outside area just because it's a little chilly out. The wind blocking curtain and heaters make it such a cozy spot!“

“I love farm to fit. The food is exceptional, so fresh. I love the salads. You can taste how fresh everything is, plus the owners are so down to earth and if you want a little change on anything they do everything they can to make you happy. I want to eat there everyday.“

“Daytona Dog Beach Inc hosted our April Paw Ambassador Celebration at Ormond Garage. The outside patio served as the perfect setting where our volunteers could choose to bring their pups along too. Frank, GM, and Joy, our waitress welcomed us warmly, anticipated our needs and delivered excellent food, drinks, and service. They had signs welcoming us, introduced our guests to their dog-friendly menu and dog loyalty cards. The pups who ordered from the menu gave it a "paw-five". Thank you to Frank, Joy, and the entire team for a "paw-fect" evening. 🐾💜🐾“

“Everytime I come here I feel like I have Mark as our server! He’s wonderful! So polite and social and on top of it! I was feeling bad about breaking my foot and he stopped to have a conversation with me that made me feel so much better…. I’ve been coming here for forever and I have zero bad things to say! Great food, great staff, great customer service! Thank you for everything you do guys!“

“Great breakfast rite buy the beach“

“Thank you for such a warm welcome and great service, we loved our visit to the Monkey Morning Cafe!“

“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!“

“Service was excellent once again! Had Lori and she is so attentive! Food was good, but the service is AMAZING! Never had an empty glass. Definitely will return“

“We felt very comfortable in your restaurant, enjoyed the food and the service was excellent“

“The food was great but the service was terrible, either train your servers or get new ones who know what they are doing. Charging 20% Surcharge was uncalled for for a party of 6, the server deserved $0.00 for tip! The wine glasses were cheap and a disgrace for the good wine. If you want to be upscale you have to do better.“

“LOVE! amazing food!! New specials all the time“

“We had a lovely dinner here for the first time recently. We'll definitely return. Best Moscow mule I've had in a long time. My salad was so fresh and my husband enjoyed his steak dinner as well. It was prepared well but he wished they had a top sirloin steak on offer. He'll try the steak frites next time. He didn't care for the mashed potatoes because they had an unexpected cheesy flavor but I thought they were nice. Excellent service and excellent atmosphere. We truly enjoyed our evening!“

“Well I must say I had a wonderful experience last Last Week when I visit Midtown Cafe The Plant base Burger was so Delicious I never had a plant base Burger that tasted so good, the Atmosphere was pleasant and Clean staff was very friendly I would recommend this place for the best plant base burger, trust me you won’t regret.“

“I've searched for the authentic German schnitzel mit spatzle...this place is the best.“

“Brooke was fantastic, fun environment. hugh portions. great night“

“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!“

“Return visit. As usual customer service at the purchasing counter was excellent. A particular staff member went over and beyond to assist me with my issues and concerns. She always does. I am so sorry I can't remember her name. I know she is the go to person for staff. I met Brian and he is awesome. Excellent customer service, friendly and professional.“

“Friendly atmosphere drop your cares at the door! A place that makes you smile“

“😍They are the best, great selections on food and gifts at their country store“

“Cheddars food is always tasty and is very reasonably priced. Jenn our server is very personable, funny and full of good suggestions. She is quick with service and just a pleasure to deal with!
I would heartily recommend Cheddars for some tasty food and drinks.“

“Service is good food is good and staff is helpful“

“Came here for the USA vs Bosnia game and our service was great. Our server Brady was super accommodating to our large party and even when they were busy everything came out quick and hot, and when USA score the place lit up. Can’t wait to come back for the great food and the amazing atmosphere.“

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

“As airport restaurants go, this one is pretty good, and gets decent business. Ate there twice, both times had a Reuben. It was good, but did not reflect any real care, just slapped together and served. Service was pretty good, and almost everyone eats outside which provides a nice atmosphere.“

“We had Cortney as our server today. She was really awesome, great energy, and attention. We ordered boneless wings, highly recommend them. Ask for Cortney, she’s the best!“

“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.“

“very good healthy food nice clean environment“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“
