Simple food prepared to perfection. A perennial top restaurant pick.
“Cafe La Haye is one of those rare restaurants in which you know the moment you walk in the door, you’re going to have a good time…” Few restaurants capture that charm as well as Cafe La Haye. Reservations strongly recommended.

Really tasty food in an unassuming restaurant. Excellent service, attentive but also gives enough time in between check-ins for privacy. Most delicious sole and filet mignon was melt-in-the-mouth good. We were gently nudged towards the yuzu cheesecake which was refreshing.

Fantastic! Hands-down the best restaurant in Sonoma. Take it from a local. The food is phenomenal. The staff and atmosphere top-notch. *sidenote-best eco-friendly packaging in town for to-go.

Elegant and friendly, Cafe La Haye sits just off the Sonoma square and offers American cuisine with a French touch. Great service and a solid wine list makes this a good destination for a pleasant, romantic dinner. Loved the salads and desserts.

Few restaurants can capture the combination of sophisticated dining, big city aesthetic, cozy family feel, and a true sense of place and time. The dining room has 32 seats and the kitchen is small and open. Local art (for sale) hangs on the wall and the décor is generally modern minimalist. The menu is every changing adapting to what is good,fresh and local. We ate there at the tail end of 3 days gorging in San Fran and 2 days gorging in Lake Tahoe. The two best restaurants on the trip were both in Sonoma, this being oneThe menu is small enough so that each dish gets all the attention it deserves but large enough to give you enough variety to please anyone with a palate. As I understand it, there is always going to be some kind of pasta and a risotto on the menu but this is not Italian food...its Cali interpreted world food drawing on local produce. We loved a beets, orange, fennel, hazelnut and goat cheese salad, a beef carpaccio, fried oysters, arugula, and Reggiano salad, ginger-soy pork chop with chorizo butter, curry oil, carrots and feta, and the Brussels sprouts with bacon and Broccolini with chili flakes with potato gratin, and a butterscotch pudding.The wine menu is perfectly sized. We are serious Francophiles and I could not believe finding a Romanee-Conti Echezeaux on the menu and alongside it, a Ch. Lafite! But, this is Sonoma and visitors who stay local and trust the area wines picked by La Haye will definitely be rewarded. We liked a Bevan Chard $80 and a Hudson Carneros $48. Both wine and food are very reasonably priced (delicious wines $40 -$80 & mains $19 -$40). This restaurant is highly recommended if you're lucky enough to get in. We will definitely be back.

Excellent service, amazing food! We had a fist class experience. Absolutely a must to eat at when in Sonoma. The Soy Glaze Pork Chop was absolutely delightful.

We loved this place. The host and waiters were very attentive and friendly and the food and the overall feel of the room was great. We had artichoke/mushroom soup, a salad, stuffed quail and a bananasplit. The selection of wine on glass was perfect.
