Nestled among the historic buildings surrounding Sonoma's iconic plaza, LaSalette Restaurant has earned its reputation as one of Sonoma Valley's favorite dining destinations since its inception in 1998. Chef Manuel Azevedo's signature Cozinha Nova Portuguesa ("New Portuguese Cuisine") celebrates the diverse and complex flavors of his native Portugal while adapting them to the bounty of top-quality ingredients found in California. The result is a distinctive cuisine that blends familiar Southern European comfort foods, exotic seasonings inspired by Portugal's centuries of global exploration, and fresh, seasonal Californian produce. As the continued success of LaSalette demonstrates, this fusion is a winning combination for lovers of traditional Portuguese fare and adventurous gourmets alike.

Walk into TORC and you might notice the music. It's rock & roll, blues, or soul, and it's undeniably on. You might notice the energy — it's high. And you'll definitely notice our bar. It's busy serving well-made cocktails and pouring rare wines we're proud to say you probably won't find anywhere else by the glass. There are no white tablecloths. No dabbing the corners of your mouth. No pomp, but lots of circumstance. And perhaps the only reason you noticed the aforementioned is because you haven't tasted our food. That's when the music fades into the background. Join us.

We dined at Plaza bistro on Christmas Eve. For adults and one baby. It really was very lovely! Beverages were served cold and food was served hot. Very very good. We’ll go again and again.

Lunch after a matinee is one of our Holiday traditions- this year it was just perfect. The restaurant was packed with diners waiting for tables lined up at the bar, so thank goodness we had a reservation (on a Monday at 3:00PM- who knew?). Once past that minor inconvenience, everything was absolutely wonderful. We shared the Tortelloni appetizer and even though I am an accomplished Italian home cook, it was the best we have ever had. Then we shared the Jack LaLane salad - partly because we grew up with him on TV and the nostalgia was undeniable- and it was perfect. It had a respectable amount of seafood and avocado and was very large. My husband said his Manhatten was excellent. We left vowing to come back soon and often.

Ashamed as a local that we just found Oso. Some of the best affordable, gourmet food on the square. Perfect cozy spot to finish a day of wine tasting. They have comfort staples with a twist and then cool dishes for for true foodies. Adding it to our short list of go-to spots.
