Located in Sonoma, Layla is a culinary gem that expertly combines farm-to-table freshness with innovative flavors. From the moment you step inside, the warm ambiance and elegant decor create a welcoming vibe that sets the stage for a memorable dining experience. Service at Layla was attentive without being intrusive. Our server Pedro was knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent wine pairing suggestions that elevated our meal even further. We got an excellent champagne to start. Layla Benedict Eggs is a delightful take on the classic Eggs Benedict, offering a unique twist that elevates the traditional dish. The dish typically features poached eggs atop toasted English muffins, smothered in a creamy hollandaise sauce, and Canadian beacon, but Layla's version might incorporate flavorful elements like smoked salmon, or other gourmet toppings. Dessert is a must, and the homemade persimmon walnut cake with matcha ice cream and apple tart were an exquisite finish, light yet indulgent, leaving us craving more. Overall, Layla offers a delightful dining experience marked by exceptional food, a cozy atmosphere, and top-notch service. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a lively evening out with friends, this restaurant is sure to impress. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous place! Food was great! Chilaquiles was perfectly cooked. Still crispy and saucy but not soggy! Best chilaquiles I've had. Service was amazing! Only valet parking but there is plenty of street parking nearby! Have recommended to my friends. Will be coming back again!

We had such a lovely brunch here for my birthday! They made it really special for us with champagne and a beautiful cheeseboard. The ambience is lovely. Salads were big portions, everything so fresh and perfect.

BEST breakfasts in Sonoma in the most beautiful setting (both inside and out with lots of charming, comfortable spaces)! 5-star breakfasts, hands-down. Their breakfast offerings are always perfectly executed - whether you want pancakes, traditional egg breakfast with crispy potatoes, omelettes, avocado toast, Chilaquiles, Strauss yogurt with house-made granola, etc. They are very consistent with the food quality and lovely presentation. Every breakfast dish is absolutely great, with lots of excellent sides to create your own dish. Prices are totally reasonable considering Layla is connected to the MacArthur Place hotel. Their customer service is warm, kind, professional, and attentive. We have so many favorite servers (Mingma, Monsae to name a couple) we always look forward to dining in ... plus we can walk to breakfast, which is a bonus. Coffee is strong, lots of great teas and mimosas, bloody Mary's, Micheladas, and cold pressed juices. Go enjoy an excellent breakfast at Layla! (Waaaay better than the "popular" tourist traps we have down at the plaza [downtown on the square] with terrible customer service, mediocre food, and a high propensity to price-gouge even the locals). ;) Literally the perfect breakfast spot in Sonoma.

This place perfect for those romamtic date nights especially their patio seating. The food was delicious and our server was very friendly and made sure that we can get out on time for the concert we are attending.

Service was amazing, waitress and hostess were wonderful. The food did take a while to come out, it was a little later on a Thursday and didn't seem too busy so I don't fully understand why. However- the ambiance and drinks were great so it made up for the wait. The food was delicious, the only small issue was that there were a lot of shell pieces in the oysters which was disappointing. Overall, great experience and great food.

Layla is tucked away in the gorgeous MacArthur Place Hotel. It's a spectacular property and less than a 15 minute walk from Sonoma Square. We had our dog so we sat on the patio and all of the staff were so friendly to him. We were served a delicious amuse-bouche of yellowtail hamachi that melted in your mouth. All of the starters were super tasty, including oysters with perfect mignonette. We ordered drinks at the same time as our appetizers and they came out after we finished them which was really the only con of our evening. As the sun went down, the twinkle lights came on and the Layla team was quick to turn on heaters by request. We loved the duck and tortellini and the dessert was spectacular. After we finished our meal, we ordered another glass of wine so we could relax and enjoy the scenery. Loved it here and will definitely come back the next time we're in Sonoma!

10/10 the best dining experience I have ever had. Reservations were made via Open Table which is always so easy. Locating Layla is super convenient as it is located within the MacArthur Hotel. For scene set up, my husband & I are there to celebrate our anniversary (10 years together, 7 married) & we are already so giddy to be here. Upon entry we are greeted by the most gracious people on earth; people who clearly work here but have nothing to do with our evenings adventures, they are just being kind! It was incredible & it was noted. Upon being seated right away, Lexi (the sweetest & best server) immediately brought us over two glasses of champagne & & congratulated us on our anniversary. While I was the one who informed the location of the celebratory occasion, Layla going the extra foot to bring the champagne & make us feel extraordinary right out the gate was something else. It really is the little things that set places a part - & you did it! The menu is written very well. Everything is labeled with ingredients, whether the dish caters to vegetarians or vegans, each dish is clearly identified. Lexi also asked us if we had any food allergies that they should be aware of. This was a wonderful & thoughtful touch, more places should do this. Not sure if we just got lucky, if Lexi was having as much fun as we were, or if the stars were in our favor this night, but one of the coolest thing thats ever happened in our dinning experience took place; The chef brought out a small tasting of a dish for us to try. We did not order it, he just made it & brought it to us! It was a new dish that Chef was testing out (although only brought to our table this evening ;) ) It was delicious! We felt so special this night, & I really hope Leyla knows it. Everything we ordered had the most beautiful presentation & perfect portions. Appetizer : Lamb meatballs (3) Main: Tortellini. They are so creamy & melt in your mouth Main: Duck Breast, was to die for. My husband & I cannot wait to return. This service is some of the best I have experienced in years, Layla should truly be so proud of everything they are doing. If you have not made your reservations yet, you need to. & If I could give 10/5 starts, I absolutely would. Tell Lexi & Chef we said hello (& thank you)!

Great breakfast and ameeting new friends!! Breakfast time!!! Yay! Parking: Valet only! So parking should not be a problem. A nice tip for job well done! Food: The food was good. We had the pancakes, it came with the berry compote, Fresh Whipped cream, and maple syrup. We also ordered the Avocado Toast, which was a largely stacked toast with Avocado, smoked salmon, salad, etc. We also ordered the Breakfast Plate with Chicken Sausage. The breakfast was altogether pretty good. Sad face: After I ordered I learned that they didn't have anymore of the square hashbrowns. So I ended up with the regular ones. They were still good, a bit burned but still your typical hashbrown. Service: Service was great! Our waitress was nice. You can tell your food was fresh, because it takes a bit of time to come out. In essence, the food and service was great, but don't go if you want to get in and out. If you have time to spare, the go for it for sure!
