The Porch at MacArthur Place

A great night at Layla! Such a beautiful restaurant and the service was top notch. The food was great and the evening overall could not have been better. I highly recommend if you are in the Sonoma area!

Everything was absolutely excellent. The black cod with miso broth was so delicious. I also had the best dirty martini in my life. Highly recommend. Hats off to the chef.

We had a wonderful experience! The food was excellent and the service was attentive and kind. It was an amazing anniversary celebration (complete with a glass of complementary sparkling wine). We can't wait to come back.

Layla is an outstanding place, it's in incredibly comfy, has some of the best food in the region, and offers stellar service.

I brought my friend for her birthday and we sat in the beautiful outdoor section. The service was perfect and the food delicious. We were not rushed and enjoyed a leisurely meal and great conversation.

Great service, casually sophisticated ambiance, menu that features quality ingredients and preparations that are well-executed and delicious without being fussy.

Layla was the perfect first stop on our Napa trip; quiet, sunlit, and effortlessly chic with that relaxed, wine-country-meets-California-cool vibe. Service was warm and attentive, even as our server patiently waited while we caught up. The espresso martinis (yes, not wine!) were just what we needed after an early flight. The hummus was creamy and flavorful, though the avocado toast missed the mark for me as the sliced avocado made it difficult to eat and felt a bit basic for the price point. Still, for a leisurely lunch with great ambiance and friendly service, Layla delivered the easy Napa welcome we were hoping for.

While the ambiance is beautiful, the food really wasn't very good. The exception was the stone fruit salad. We got two seafood dishes and both were undercooked. It was really surprising given the high price point of the food and the elegance of the place.

The patio was very nice and the staff amicable, but there were wasps around our table, some attracted by previously-spilled food on the floor, and apparently the restaurant only had one “anti-wasp” device, so we had to finish our meal inside.

Wow Layla at MacArthur was 10/10 in terms of place, ambience, aesthetic, food and vibe! I cannot recommend it enough for a casual brunch or a fancier event with girlfriends. I hosted my sister's Baby Sprinkle there with 13 guests and everything about the place fulfilled what I envisioned the event to be and more. Dawa - the event coordinator for the restaurant - was very gracious and responsive about sending me photos about the different seating arrangements and was kind enough to reserve a beautiful round table for the event as well as an lounge sofa area for guests to mingle pre and post brunch. I appreciated how accommodating she was to my requests! Furthermore, the service at Layla was impeccable. Monce was our host and she went above and beyond with accommodating our large party at the restaurant and taking photos for us. I want to highlight just how aesthetically beautiful the entire McArthur Place grounds are which allowed for guests to truly enjoy the ambience. Thank you Layla at McArthur Place for making my vision for an intimate fall-themed Baby Sprinkle come to life!

The cost of the food and wine is way more expensive than the quality or quantity of the food served.

Great menu to choose from....Strongly recommend starting with the Parker House rolls while you decide on your entree....

Amazing restaurant in Sonoma in a beautiful hotel. The service was spectacular. We were greeted with an anniversary card and champagne. Lunch was excellent. Will definitely ba back.

Perfect patio lunch on a Fall day, mostly shaded. Everyone enjoyed their food but it seems to be almost the exact same menu as last year. Not a bad thing, but it's nice to have a few new items.

The staff at Layla were professional, attentive, and friendly. The food was excellent and atmosphere very inviting. All in All , a wonderful experience for our party of six.
