About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
Located just off Sonoma Plaza, Cafe La Haye offers an appealingly unfussy sophistication. The split-level dining room holds just a dozen or so tables, but its open kitchen, raftered ceiling and walls adorned with modern art create a vibrant energy that’s contagious.
Convivial owner Saul Gropman and chef Jeffrey Lloyd make a formidable team. Lloyd, former executive chef of restaurant Michael Mina, offers a seasonal menu that’s discreet in its complexity, featuring the sort of dishes that seem to get better with each bite.
Gropman’s wine list comprises a modest 100 bottles, but it’s a smart, well-focused selection -

    Food was interesting and delicious. Staff was extremely efficient and professional but not warm. Great food but not a place to linger over dinner.

    This is perhaps our favorite restaurant in Sonoma. Everyone enjoyed their meal: risotto with shrimp, petrale sole with a beurre Blanc sauce and mashed potatoes and savory quail with bread pudding. The service was excellent and the ambiance was such that we could have conversations.

    Every dish was high quality — shrimp cake was “Wow!”, swordfish cooked perfectly, dessert was perfect. I do wish there was table bread.

    We loved the venue and staff were wonderful. We had a pre fixe dinner on Valentines Day and while the food was good, we didn’t find it terribly special. Huge dessert selection which was nice. I had Caesar salad and quail and my partner had the salad and swordfish. We would definitely come back and hope with more choices we can find something outstanding.
