Cafe La Haye in Sonoma

Cafe La Haye opened in the mid-1990s in the La Haye building on East Napa Street, a block from the Sonoma Plaza, founded by Saul Gropman and chef John McReynolds. Gropman ran the dining room for nearly three decades before retiring and selling the restaurant to longtime employee Jose Lopez and his wife, Marta, at the start of 2026.

The room is small, and the restaurant manages tables carefully: reservations open a month ahead and parties are capped at six.

Book as soon as the one-month window opens; the room is small. It is an easy stop after Sonoma Valley tastings, and dining times are fixed, so tell us your reservation and we will be outside when the table turns.
