My husband I were visiting Napa and Sonoma for our birthdays. Through a bit of research, I found Cafe La Haye. I'm so glad we had the opportunity to dine here. I had the risotto and added several shrimp. My husband had the bolognese. Both were outstanding. A Happy Birthday butterscotch pudding and a apple fruit crisp capped the evening. The service matched the food and the whole experience, really, it was great!

A small charming restaurant just off the Sonoma square, this lived up to the hype of being on the Michelin list.

Upon entering, check out the chalkboard specials - we ended up ordering three dishes from it.

Everything was amazing - fresh ingredients, bold flavors. Particular favorite was the scallop, salmon, and uni starter served with daikon radish and micro greens in a light ponzu sauce.

The vegetarian risotto was one of the best I’ve tasted, and I almost always order risotto if it’s on the menu. It was the perfect texture, and I would describe it as fresh tasting.

Our server recommended the yuzu cheesecake, and it did not disappoint. In hindsight, we should have ordered two.

One year later on our trip through Sonoma and we had to return to Cafe La Haye.

Still as excellent as it was a year ago. Food, service, and wine were all top notch.

We were lucky enough to have Ester as our server again. She has such enthusiasm about the menu. Her descriptions of the extensive specials were detailed and spot on. I have no idea how she remembers such fine details of an ever changing menu. A true professional!

We started with the chop salad as a starter, which I could have every day and not get tired of. I returned to the pork chop for my main, which was a generous cut. My partner had the chicken special, which was beyond generous in size and very tasty.

We cheated again this time and had dessert. That butterscotch pudding is utter perfection.

We can’t wait to return next year during our annual trip through Sonoma.

This place is absolutely fantastic! I strongly recommend it, we happened to be in town for an occasion and decided to drop by after settling in. We had no reservation, and this seems like a place where they would be preferred, but they greeted us warmly and took us in immediately. I got some pasta and my girlfriend got spiced chicken, and both of our dishes were out of this world 😍 you can tell the cooks and servers and the chef really care about the taste of their food and the presentation of their food. The desert was exceptional as well. 10/10 would go again!

Another great evening at Cafe La Haye; this time for my daughter's birthday. It is so nice to see the familiar faces of the staff and folks that seem to be locals.

All of the specials sounded tempting, as did the menu items. I had the ahi tuna tartare , youngsters (30+!) Had fried cauliflower, husband had chicory salad with persimmons, almond, feta; a good choice! We always try the risotto of the day, which was broccolini and lemon EVOO today. For a minute I thought we would ALL order that, but I went for the pork chops with gnocchi (again), son had spiced chicken and husband had petrale sole.
Of course we had the warm almond cake with salted caramel ice cream. (Husband likes his on the side 🙄), but one of us had and enjoyed the cheesecake.

Food was really good. The little gem sale was amazing. Pork chop was cooked to perfection. The restaurant is quaint but there was ample space for social distancing. Be sure to make reservations a few weeks in advance. Staff were friendly and well attentive.

Delicious! Worth a visit. Wonderful service, food, environment. We’ve visited a few times and it’s a reliable choice.
