16 Best American Restaurants in Sonoma

“Probably the best michelin starred restauarnt ive ever been to and ive done quite a bit around the globe.
First of all, the reserve wine pairing is 1000% worth it. Please just get it. My mind was blown to smithereens and the level of genius they reached here.
The food was the best tasting AND most unique i have ever had. If i wasn't dining with someone else i would've cried, and i think i did tear up at some point.
I wish i had the words to describe exactly how perfect this restaurant experience was in every single way, i cannot do it justice right now, but hopefully you could just take my word for it and see (and taste) for yourself.
Thank you Enclos for utter perfection through and through. Absolutely no notes except for sheer praise.

I took photos of everything but trying to limit myself so that you can have your own experience 🤣 everything was so so beautiful“

“This place is such a pleasant surprise! We came for dinner and tried several dishes… The biggest hit was the peach burrata ! Delicious! The mushroom pizza and the best salad was a perfect partner to the pizza. We also enjoyed the calamari and the best light fluffy cheesecake for desert!
Wine and champagne of course! What a fabulous experience! Try it!“

“Great service and good food“

“Twice in the past 3 weeks we ate at the Sonoma Store and twice we were treated like we were special , by Rosi and Maria. The customer service is such a big part of the dining being an enjoyable time. The meals for the 3 of us were very good. Thank You both!!!“

“My compliments to the chef and kitchen team, every dish was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and clearly made fresh. The use of high-quality, mostly local ingredients truly made a difference. The service was excellent as well. The young woman who helped us, her name started with J—was very sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, an outstanding dining experience. Definitely worth the 50-minute trip!“

“Really nice place , good food“

“I liked foods here that I don’t like normally at all. The servers are friendly and accommodating to everything we asked for.“

“Great food. Great drinks. Great atmosphere. Always a great time!“

“The restaurant and food are good. I recommend it. You should try the cheese platter and desert which are excellent. The main course was good.“

“Food and service was exceptional!“

“This is quite a special beautiful restaurant and bar connected with the MacArthur Place Hotel. The
garden porch, surrounded by flowers and trees, is relaxing and rejuvenating.
The staff—from parking and hotel crew, bartenders and servers—are extraordinarily friendly, kind, and competent. They are proud of their work and seem to really care and enjoy their customers.

The Mon and Tues Smash Burger Special is excellent. The cocktails are beautifully crafted and there are nice wines available. The food is consistently tasty and creative!

Amidst the hustle and bustle of downtown Sonoma. I find this place an oasis of calm, beauty and peace. As a former Manhattanite, I’m thrilled by the special “scene” at Layla!“
