New American Restaurants in Sonoma, CA

“Great food and our server was wonderful“

“Exceptional cuisine in the heart of Sonoma. The food is a fascinating blend of Californian and Northeast styles, reflecting the restaurant's location and the chef's roots. Execution of food and service is top-notch, with every detail carefully considered. The space is very inviting, albeit a little cramped given its location in a former house. Definitely a place to visit again and again.“

“Delicious Mothers Day Brunch!“

“Food and service was exceptional!“

“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.“

“We were able to snag same day dinner reservations for 6ppl after wine tasting. It's located in Sonoma Square so easily walking distance from our hotel, wine tasting, bars, eateries and shopping. We shared some appetizers and had dinner. Service was prompt and good. The food was delicious and the company even better!

I'd go back to stay in Sonoma and try other dishes at the Sonoma Grille.

I love that we walked everywhere and did not have to drive. If you are driving in for the day, there is parking on each block.“

“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!“
