  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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 -

    Pork Chops were incredible favors. If there would be some way to dampen the sounds from our diners, that would make the evening perfect.

    This is undoubtedly our most favorite restaurant in the Napa/Sonoma Valley. We have been coming here since Cafe LaHaye opened and have never once been disappointed. The food and service is excellent and creative. We will certainly return again.
