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 -

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.

The food is heavenly and the service was wonderful. I wish there were some soft surfaces and more ambiance lighting for a softer edxprience. But, it is always worth it and always wonderful.

Nice food options on menu and daily specials. Loved the small, intimate dining room. Staff were busy and professional. Food was excellent. Only issue was where I sat at a round table, near the entrance, because the restaurant is small, tables are close together. Staff have to squeeze in, and around the tables. My chair got bumped multiple times.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Cafe La Haye. We tried a couple of specials, the Petrale Sole and the Quail, and also the filet mignon. All the preparations were delicious. Our server, Karen, was a delight.
