Unfortunately the quality band taste of the food was not like beforeZ. They have a new chef it seems and frankly the food was just ok. Previously we had been there and the food was just excellent.

We waited for over ten minutes and no service. We literally sat at our table and no one offered to take our order. The staff seems to be overwhelmed if there are more than three tables. I would love to see this place get it together as its a great addition to Sonoma.

One of our entre was very untasted, We ordered the milanesa because it say in the menu it was gluten free. My wife is allergic to wheat. We double check when we got it on the table and it wasn’t, they made a mistake on the menu. My wife tried to eat the gnocchi but was very untaste. Very garlicky lack of salt. Chewy as mochi. Very unpleasant. She got the cesar salad after that. They still charge us for everything. Good job from the managing department.

I waited close to 1 hour for my entree to arrive. The restaurant was not crowded- and yet the waitstaff did not inform me that the kitchen was running behind until after the 3rd time I asked about my dinner. The food was barely warm when it was served, but I didn’t dare send it back for fear of having to wait another hour. The chocolate mousse dessert was a complete miss - the churros served with it were doughy and undercooked. The Manager made her way to most tables, or thanked people on their way out. She never came to my table and on my way out she stood at the Host stand chatting with two waitstaff, but did not say goodnight nor thank you for coming. Disappointing experience for such a lovely location.

We dined at Layla for only the second time-this time inside. Oswaldo was a fabulous, attentive server and warm and engaging. Food was delicious and served on time. The chef came to our table to inquire how the food tasted and chatted with us for a few minutes-nice touch. We’ll be back - soon!

An incredible experience from start to finish. Staff is truly amazing and our waiter, Oswald (Oz), was absolutely fantastic. He gave great suggestions and was very helpful but never hovered. Food quality was 5 star, food was very fresh and flavorful. I can’t say enough good things. We sat outside and the patio is great. Very cool, chill vibe. Must visit if you are in Sonoma! Cheers

Layla has become our favorite restaurant when we’re in the Napa/Sonoma area. We went here three times in 4-5 days! This time we had salad, salmon, and tried the flatbread which we both loved. We ended with the pudding cake which is amazing. It’s so relaxing in the beautiful garden and everyone in the restaurant is so very nice.

We just love the lovely and relaxing atmosphere and can’t say enough about the great staff. Morgan, the hostess, is so sweet and our servers Os and Mingma were great both times we went. The chefs make the absolute best offerings and the salmon dish is better than any we’ve ever had anywhere and we eat it a lot on the northwest. The gigande bean salad and the falafel burger are also delicious. For dessert we loved the dark chocolate pudding cake which is also gluten free somehow! Just go, you’ll love it!!!

We were blown away by the atmosphere (we sat on the patio), food and presentation of the dishes, drinks (they made me a delicious Last Word cocktail that was not on the menu), and service. The whole experience was memorable and just absolutely lovely. We went back for brunch two days later and it was equally phenomenal. I cannot recommend Layla enough!!!

One of those restaurants where you’re planning when you can eat there next, before you’ve finished your first meal! Rest layers of flavor in each dish- The carrots were sublime, the branzino delicious, and we enjoyed the tartare and kale salad. Great wine recommendations, too. Plan ahead for reservations as they are popular, and shoot for a table on the patio.

We had an exceptional dining experience at Layla. We sat on the patio and it was lovely! I think it's the most lovely outdoor dining venue in the city of Sonoma. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the charcuterie to share as a starter - wonderful veggies and dip and stunning presentation. Lamb chops were the best I've had in ages!

Layla offers a lovely setting and was at one time our favorite local place. The valet service at the front door is welcome since parking can be an issue. But this time (some of) our food was simply put ... no good. Examples: spaghetti that was undercooked and covered in a too salty to eat sauce, gnocchi that was pasty and undercooked (sent back), double lamb chop that was very tough and strong tasting. An asparagus soup with lavender was different and a spaghetti special was good, though the serving was small (less than a cup).

This is one of the best restaurants in Sonoma County. The food is wonderful, the service excellent and if you eat outside it is peaceful and lovely. It is excellent for special occasions, for a friends’ get together, or a business meeting. I have been there a couple of times and definitely will be returning.
