About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood 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 -

    This is one of our favorite restaurants in Sonoma. My son came to visit me. I then called them with about an hour to go, and they were able to change our reservation from 2 to 3 on a busy Saturday night.

    Had a wonderful experience at Cafe la Haye. Enjoyed a couple of the specials for the day and had a great waiter who was knowledgeable and helpful even though he was quite new. We will come back here on our next trip to Sonoma!

    Really enjoyed this beautiful boutique-like restaurant. Smells were amazing as you walked through the door and the food lived up to the expectation. The table ordered the risotto special, steak and the pasta… it was all so delicious. Had a great time… wonderful server… wonderful hostess…. Top notch food

    Cafe La Haye won’t disappoint. The food is deliciously consistent while the service is spot on. Friendly and helpful with decisions. The kitchen is small, but mighty, producing dishes that come out hot, artistically plated and most important, good!

    What an amazing meal! Everything was great! The food, service and the ambience were all top notch. Small, 20-odd seat restaurant, just off the square in Sonoma. So perfect for a romantic dinner for two. Our favorites were the burrata salad special, the pork chop, and the tagliarini. Definitely recommend the Black Kite Pinot Noir.

    The sole was the best I’ve had at any restaurant. The ambiance was so classy. The waitress and service, excellent. So many choices for restaurants in Sonoma, but this was the right one. We were not disappointed.
