CAFÉ LA HAYE

Cozy ambiance, delicious meals and excellent service. La Haye was one of our favourite dining experiences in Sonoma❣️

The food was remarkably wonderful with one exception. We are both allergic to chili in any form and we made that extremely clear. Our first course was covered with chili on the otherwise delicious toast. When we told our waitress, she was not particularly sympathetic and there were only two other choices, both of which were also spicy. When we told the owner, he stated that there was nothing spicy on the toast! That particular dish was expensive and quite small and I was quite stunned that they didn't offer to simply remove it from the bill. I have never had a restaurant deal with a situation in that manner. Also, our server barely checked on us even when she was right next to us dealing with other people. Plus it was my sister's birthday and I wanted it to be really special for her. We did not make a big deal out of any of it and simply ate what we could. I have to say that while the food was exceptional, the service and the attitude was most definitely not and I sincerely doubt whether I will ever return to this restaurant because of that. In my opinion, great food is not enough to make a restaurant experience exceptional. We ate at three other restaurants that were exceptional in every way!

A wonderful restaurant!! The food was very tasty. We started with the burrata appetizer. My wife enjoyed the roasted chicken, and my son and I enjoyed the beet vegetarian rissoto. It was so good. Our server was Esther. She was delightful, and provided us with outstanding friendly service.

Lovely small restaurant with impeccable service and food a block off the square. Smaller food menu due to the size yet plenty of GF & vegetarian options, & surorisingly large wine menu. My fish portion was generous. 3 bar seats at the prep counter if you want to see the chefs in action. We walked in without a reservation and they accommodated us at 6:05pm. Seating downstairs is snug but pleasant. Did I mention impeccable service? Every step was timely, water glasses filled consistently. We had 3 courses in an hour. Guests had nicer attire and were respectful of the quiet atmosphere.

I've been to this restaurant multiple times - always outstanding. Interesting dishes, unique combinations and a wonderfully, casual and classy atmosphere. I enjoyed the pan fried eggplant with sweet chili sauce so much, i came home and tried to prepare it (my version was nothing like Cafe La Haye :( Highly recommend a visit.
