Such a cute cafe! We had a mocktail, lemonade, yuca fries, ceviche, carne tacos and the brussel sprouts. All the food was excellent. I am gluten-free and had lots of options here. Loved it

Jarrett was great! He welcomed us warmly and was very knowledgeable about the menu offering great suggestions regarding the regular menu and off menu specials. He was thoughtful and did not make us feel like he was in a hurry. He gave us "first timers" plenty of time to explore a great menu. Great options for the carnivores, pescatarian and gluten free members of our party. We are fans and will be back! Thanks to manager, Dennis, for taking care of your staff! Cheers!

After reading glowing reviews, we decided to try SoNapa Grille in New Smyrna Beach. The atmosphere was lovely—inviting and cozy. Initially, we were seated in a very noisy area, so we asked to be moved to a quieter spot. Although the staff member assisting us needed to get "permission" to reseat us (despite several open tables), they ultimately accommodated our request and moved us to a much more peaceful, private table, which we appreciated. The food was good, though not quite as exceptional as I had hoped based on the reviews. That said, the staff was very accommodating of my gluten allergy, which I greatly appreciated. Our server, Ian, was friendly and eager to help, though he wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about gluten-free options. To his credit, he brought over another server who was extremely helpful and well-informed. I ordered margaritas, which were just okay—disappointingly watery, especially given the price. I’ve had far better elsewhere. Prices overall were on the higher side, which I expected, but I also anticipated a higher standard in terms of flavor and presentation. We’d heard rave reviews about the donut bread pudding, so my husband gave it a try. Being gluten-free, I couldn’t taste it myself. He said it was good, but not outstanding—more like eating a muffin with a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of caramel, and chopped pecans. It didn’t have the texture or richness you’d expect from a classic bread pudding, and he was surprised it didn’t come with a rum sauce. He said he wouldn’t order it again. I had the flourless chocolate cake, which came with a scoop of ice cream. It was very good—rich, dense, and chocolatey—exactly what you’d expect from a flourless chocolate dessert. I’d definitely order it again, especially since it appeared to be the only gluten-free dessert option on the menu. Overall, SoNapa Grille is a very nice restaurant, but the food didn’t quite live up to the hype or the price point. We’ll likely return, though with more modest expectations. Next time, we might stick to the flatbreads—I've heard great things, and they offer a gluten-free crust— and pair it with a glass of wine and maybe a dessert. $150 for two entrées (filet medallions and chicken marsala with steamed spinach), two margaritas, and two desserts felt steep given the overall experience. Still, the ambiance and service were strong points, and I’m willing to give it another shot with a simpler order next time.

Love it here! There are plenty of gluten free menu. I’m also allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. As soon as I tole them they let me know all the options. great service. Brought my puppy for his birthday and they gave him steak tips and whip cream. 🩵

Great spot. Knowledgeable staff and fabulous food. Gluten free and vegan options (the wraps are not gf). We had vegan gf nachos and the Chipotle Sungoddess rice.

The best gluten-free French toast I ever had. So glad they were able to accommodate my food allergy. Cozy atmosphere, delicious tastes. We waited a bit when we were sat initially, but they are always busy & I understand how it is when working in the restaurant industry.

Amazing place to eat with your fur babies!! Plenty of outdoor seating. Gorgeous patio. VERY dog friendly. My friends and I came here with our 3 dogs and had a blast. Food is 7/10, it's good but not amazing - BUT will definitely be back with my dog just for the service (MARIA<3), and the patio. Also very gluten free friendly!!

Had gluten free options. Gluten free options didn’t get me sick. The service was awesome. Chefs choice options, just make it gluten free. Hot sauce on table was great. Will be back!

ThIs is a local hidden treasure on New Symnra. Great pizza! They offer a variety of Italian food. They have gluten-free options as well. The place is small but there is a 6 person table top. They have a larger outdoor patio that is heated in the winter. This is a charming place with a full bar. The service was great. It does take time because all pizzas are made to order. Of your in a hurry than to to would be a great option. They also work with delivery services such as Uber Eats. There is limited parking in front of the restaurant. There is a larger parking lot that is free parking about a block away. They have nice, clean restrooms and a fun atmosphere that makes this a great choice for an evening with family friends and good food.

We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner at The Grille at Riverview and cannot recommend them enough! They were able to set up a menu with options of our choosing for the guests, appetizers and desserts including. The food was amazing. We chose the blackened chicken pasta (my personal favorite when I go), mahi mahi with an amazing lemon butter sauce, and the prime rib. All of it was so good. I can’t stop thinking about the mini cheesecake dessert they had. The servers were spectacular and accommodating for our guests with gluten allergies and who were vegan! Highly recommend having lunch or dinner here, or hosting a birthday or party!

The gluten free options are filling with plenty of options to appease many. The pho is seasoned with synergistic blends that are not over saturated with salt making it very palatable on the senses. We sat outside and the temp couldn't be more perfect with an upbeat, happy, piano, remix of 90s in the background. Jen our waitress was one of the best. Old school style, on point, consistent and great conversationalist giving each guest the connection they deserved. We will def be back.

How much do I love this place? A lot! I have been coming here for about 21 years now and have never been let down by their food or drinks. This was the first time that I have been here and not been able to eat gluten and so I wondered if the experience would be the same. They did not let me down. I was served the burger without a bun, it was presented beautifully. I was told the fries were not gluten free but had a really lovely generous portion of coleslaw on the side which was lovely. Thank you Breakers you are my favourite burger bar in the world and I can say that with experience, haven eaten in a few :-)

The folks at Flagler Ave went above and beyond to accommodate my challenging dietary restrictions (low fodmap) by making a sauce from scratch for my pizza. They were understanding and careful to check the safety of each ingredient. I would recommend them especially for anyone on a gluten-free, low fodmap or similar diet. Thanks again for the delicious meal!

We loved our experience at Outriggers! In town for the Daytona 500 and heard about this place from a friend. Our waitress, Carly, was SO great. She had excellent recommendations and accommodated a gluten allergy in our group. If you’re looking for great cocktails, fresh seafood, and great service, check out Outriggers.

Great service!! Our son has celiac and our server was well educated and informed about the GF options on the menu and service was great too! The manager came out and spoke to us about the precautions they were taking in the kitchen to accommodate his condition. Food was great too!

Marc Sing

This place is amazing!!!! We’ve been to the Port Orange location and this one is just as amazing! We love it and this is the first time bringing the family! My wife has Celiac and they are very attentive and have a dedicated fryer and an extensive gluten free menu!! Burgers were great! Seafood platter was great! Shrimp scampi and fish dip was amazing and the peanut butter pie was PHENOMENAL! We will be back for sure!!!

Best Sandwich shop in NSB. My GF got the gluten free burger which came with a really good gluten free bun which is rare and hard to find. I got the Clayton. The pastrami was killer. We also got the fries and wow! Best fries I’ve had in a while. Simple design inside. Very friendly and accommodating staff and family owned. This place is a hidden gem and I will likely start a new addiction to their sandwiches. Do yourself a favor and give them a shot. I hear they get busy but that’s a good thing. Cats out of the bag for them being the best sandwich shop in NSB

I have eaten at many Mexican restaurants from New England to Florida and have never left a review for a Mexican restaurant. The reason I am now, is because the food was truly the best Mexican food I have ever had. I was visiting my parents in FL from NH and we chose La Fiesta because my daughter was looking for gluten free food. All 5 of my family members agreed the food was terrific! We all received something different and all of us said this Mexican food was awesome! Fresh, quality and great portions. The building is a historic building near the ocean in beautiful New Smyrna Beach. Treat yourself to a true 5 star experience.

Had lunch at general public House today and there was a wonderful experience. Our waiter Max was fabulous on suggesting an alteration to a menu item for a gluten avoider. The food was delicious. He mentioned that the chef was about to launch a new menu that would include a new cocktail menu along with big changes to the lunch and dinner offerings. Can't wait to try them because even the items on the soon to be old menu were varied.

Wasn’t impressed with the pizza especially for the price. The real play here is the Greek salad, but if you catch the pizza on a special deal then it gets maybe a bump in value. The service and team were great and I really appreciated their kind, fast service while I was picking up my phone order. No gluten free options for someone with celiac disease. Everyone has different preferences for pizza- this is just not my style.
