LaSalette

We had lunch today, It was our first time, as we moved back here just a few years ago. Everything we had we had was superb, so much flavor and a beautiful presentation. The Roasted Octopus was perfect, will always order it when I return. Paella - my husband had, he said it was the best scallop he's ever had. I had the Pork and Clams, beautifully cooked. The sauce was crave-able! It all was terrific. We sat inside, loved the room, we felt so relaxed, rustic yet elegant. We felt very taken care of by the warm staff. They all made our special occasion one to remember. We can't wait to go back.

Cozy inside atmosphere. Outside seating available which would be perfect on warm balmy nights. The waitress was very knowledgeable about the dishes on the menu. The Scallop appetizer was amazing, scallop was soft and tender! The Beef stew was on the dry side.

The restaurant setting is beautiful! The service is friendly and great, the waitress knows the food. The tomato salad was delicious and tasty on the warm summer day.

Delicious experience! My expectations were very well managed when we arrived at this place and I was positively surprised. For a place that far away from Portugal, they absolutely nailed it. I have tried Portuguese cuisine before and when done well, it’s absolutely delicious. This place has an amazing team and management behind it and we (a party of 4) got an amazing meal. Every single dish you see on this review was spot on, well cooked, immaculate presentation and delicious taste (I tried them all from my friends🤪) all delivered with the maximum care and customer service attention. Not that common that I go all the way to Sonoma, but I will make sure that if there next time, I will definitely try this place for dinner. Well done guys!

We had an interesting experience at La Salette. I didn't realize I had booked the wrong date, but with a short wait in the adorable speakeasy next door, they were able to accommodate us on the evening we went. The patio is charming in a neat little alley way filled with shops. Pretty plants and great vibe. Service was prompt, and so was the rain. Unfortunately, the restaurant was ill prepared for the inclement weather and two of four party had to sit in the rain and got soaked while we were dining. The restaurant didn't really go out of their way to remedy the situation. So, that was very disappointing. The food was good. Really delicious, well-priced wine list. Would go back, but only for inside seating...

I love the experience I had here, which is not a surprise since they are sister restaurants with my very favorite Tasca Tasca. Everything was yummy.

Did a Dinner of Appetizers. Couldn’t decide on just one or two. Everything was Delicious!! The softest octopus I have ever had … scallops melted in your mouth …sardines nicely charred and flavorful…croquettes soft on inside and crunchy on out …-and heirloom tomato salad was Devine with hummus and olives with balsamic and olive oil. Everything was delicious and service was great !! A must when in Sonoma !!

Elegant and classy experience!!! We came here to celebrate our anniversary on a Friday night. The staff greeted us kindly and seated us, and brought a complimentary glass of bubbly. Each dish we ordered was top notch... Oysters, scallops, octopus, Branzino, and Caldeirada. The service was so thoughtful. We could not have asked for a better anniversary dinner.

While the ambiance in March was just fine, so every other single attribute was worthy of return engagements, which we did, three times over 4 months. The service was excellent each time And the food in each case was heavenly. Wth that in mind we'll be back soon, that's a promise.

My recent dining experience at LaSalette was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that this place was bustling with activity, which only added to the anticipation of what was to come. Despite being busy, the staff managed the crowd efficiently, and although the food did take a while to arrive, every minute spent waiting was absolutely worth it. The moment the dishes were placed before us, it was clear that we were in for a treat. The taste of each dish was outstanding, surpassing any expectations I had. The flavors were rich, perfectly balanced, and each bite was a delight to the senses. Whether it was the carefully crafted appetizers, the main courses bursting with flavor, or the decadent desserts, every aspect of the meal was exceptional. I can't wait to return!!

Great place in Sonoma for a fancy dinner out. We came last weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary and had a great experience. As soon as we got seated they brought us champagne and a mini shrimp croquette amuse bouche. We started off our meal with oysters baked in butter with chorizo (appetizer special). Then we had the octopus and finished with the branzino (dinner special). The oysters were a little on the small side, but they tasted amazing. We liked dipping our bread in the leftover butter/chorizo sauce. The octopus had a great presentation and was really tender. The branzino was well seasoned and was the perfect size for the two of us. It had a a good amount of veggies accompanying it too. We'll definitely be back again!

Another lovely lunch at LaSalette. A favorite spot in Sonoma. Wonderful food, great service at reasonable prices. We drive up from SF to have lunch but I'd sure like to have dinner at LaSalette sometime soon. Charming little touches like an amuse bouche before, a freshly baked roll ( who gives you free bread any more?) and a tiny complementary dessert. I had the Portuguese paella which was delicious- generous amount of shellfish . My husband loved the peri peri chicken salad. Lovely interior and nice outdoor dining too. Definitely recommend and we'll be back.

Been here twice now (from southern CA). Love the ambiance but the service and ode to traditional Portuguese food is was had me coming back. So so good. Reminds me of home. Highly recommend.

LaSalette Restaurant is a beloved gem in Sonoma Valley since 1998, earning its well-deserved reputation as a favorite dining spot. Chef Manuel Azevedo's "New Portuguese Cuisine" showcases the rich and diverse flavors of his native Portugal, expertly blending them with the finest ingredients from California. You'll be treated to a unique culinary experience that combines traditional Southern European comfort ingredients with exotic spices gathered from centuries of Portuguese exploration. And let's not forget the fresh and seasonal California produce that adds a delightful twist! The menu offers a range of delectable options, with our personal favorite being the Portuguese Fisherman Stew - an absolute must-try! And don't miss out on the daily specials, like the mouthwatering pan-fried sardines with olive oil and sautéed onions. The wine selection is impressive, with reasonably priced options by the glass and a variety of Portuguese wines, from light whites to full-bodied reds. The attentive service adds to the overall experience, making LaSalette Restaurant a hidden gem worth discovering.

Me and The Hubs were visiting the area about a month or so ago and had dinner here on a Friday night (with a reservation). We had a fabulous experience! Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was wonderful. And the restaurant is classy, yet comfortably casual. We shared a bottle of wine as well as the Roasted Octopus app. It was delicious. For entrees, I ordered the Fish Fillet of the Day (don't recall what the fish was) and The Hubs had the Whole Roasted Branzino. The fish was delicious and perfectly cooked, and the veg that came with each entree paired well with each dish. I'm not usually tempted by dessert menus (and usually am too full anyway), but I had to make an exception after looking at theirs. I had the dessert assortment called Fruit (passion fruit mousse, fig bread pudding, vanilla bean syrup, yucca, pineapple semifreddo), while The Hubs had the one called Chocolate (chocolate mousse, almond tuile, ruby port gelée, hazelnut ice cream, caramelized banana). These were fairly light, but intensely flavored desserts. We were both happy with our choices. I would love to eat here again the next time we're in the area!

My recent experience at Lasalette Restaurant in Sonoma was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt welcomed by the warm ambiance and attentive staff. The food at Lasalette was a true delight. Each dish was carefully crafted and bursting with flavor. The bacalhao and feijoada dishes, in particular, brought thru the wonderful flavors of Portugal. It was evident that the chefs put a lot of thought and care into sourcing the freshest ingredients. What truly set Lasalette apart was the impeccable service. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. Overall, I recommend Lasalette to anyone visiting Sonoma. Whether you're craving a taste of Portugal or simply looking for a top-notch dining experience, Lasalette is the place to go. I can't wait to return and indulge in more of their delicious offerings.

I think this is my new favourite lunch spot when wine hopping in Sonoma! This is a perfectly heavy, olive oil filled, fishy hardy meal when your tummy is full of wine. Everything tasted amazing, there was lots of variety on the menu for anyone's tastebuds. They give you a little welcome bite & small dessert bite on the way out. The service was fantastic and quick. Also, the prices are extremely affordable! I feel like a lot of fancy restaurants it's a massive hit to the wallet but we were all stuffed and pleased with our bill. You and easily make a reservation online before you go but also walk ins are totally available too.

Came for lunch at opening time with reservations. Great food - favorites were the Portuguese Fisherman's Stew and the Fish Filet of the Day. We also got the Fish and Chips, Wood Oven Roasted Octopus, and the Pork & Clams - Porco à Alentejana. They gave us complimentary shrimp croquette to start which was yummy, and some warm complimentary bread. The downside was the service. We had to flag our server down several times to ask for things, and she never checked on us. Also, it takes a long time for the food. We came right at opening, and ordered pretty quickly. It still took us almost 2 hours to finish lunch (no dessert ordered) because of the wait for food to arrive.

We came here to celebrate our anniversary. The food is BEYOND good. The seafood was fresh, well seasoned, and perfectly balance flavors. The grill octopus was one the best I hav ever had. The sardine was HUGE, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Seafood is always a bit tricky and can sometimes come out too undercooked or overcooked (and rubbery) - not here. Every dish that came out was perfectly cooked. Perfect temperature and delicately season so that you TASTE the freshness of the seafood and not masked by strong seasoning. HUGE COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEF. THIS is seafood done correctly. The service was very attentive and friendly. Beautiful restaurant. I'd come back here again and bring friends here for a special celebration.

My family made reservations for 10 several weeks in advance for an outing and lunch in Sonoma. We were seated outside tables on a sunny day with umbrellas. The restaurant serves Portuguese cuisine.We actually had multiple orders of each dish: Serrano ham with burrata 5/5 Day boat scallops 5/5 Tasco Board charcuterie 3.5 Sardines 4/5 Prato de Vegetals 5/5 Arroz a Valenciana 5/5 Caleirada Portuguese Fisherman's stew 3.5 one shrimp and a bunch small clams Pork belly and clams 5/5 best dish Roasted Octopus 4/5 Caldo Verde 4/5 Piri Piri fries 5/5 Service was ok. Parking could be hard on a busy weekend.

My absolute favorite spot in Sonoma Square!! I took my BF for the first time last week, and I have to admit I was a bit nervous because I hadn't been there in a few years.... We got the best seats in the house - the counter overlooking the wood fired oven! The Chefs were incredible: focused, efficient, - their moves were perfectly timed - it was like watching a ballet! The food was incredible... best bite of that particular lunch was the Octopus, yet everything was superb, per usual. So glad to see them still putting out incredible dishes!

Had all around great experience here. We came Thursday evening and got tables outside so we can dine with our two dogs. They had heaters outside which was great as well given that it was still so chilly in May! Before we even ordered anything, they brought us out a complimentary small tasting for shrimp croquettes which were soo delicious! We then went with some apps to share for four people including the cod cakes, tasca board and octopus. They were all relatively small plates so definitely good for sharing as starters. Everything was amazing but my favorite were the octopus. For main, I went with the filet of the day which came on top of sautéed veggies and corn. Usually most restaurants don't do white fish well but this place made it so flavorful and slightly pan fried. We finished with some 10 year tawny ports that had a slight Carmel taste to them but it was great way to end the meal

Had an AWESOME lunch with my brother in Sonoma yesterday. He took me to a cool Portuguese restaurant in downtown Sonoma. It was so beautiful outside. We started with a complimentary Shrimp Croquette in roasted red pepper sauce. I had the passion fruit and pomegranate sangria to go with my Bacalhau no Forno which was my FAVORITE dish in Lisbon and my brother had Chicken Piri Piri salad. They brought us to little coconut-cashew thingies at the end of our meal. Great food, great service 5 stars There is a Speakeasy right nextdoor too. I don't think it's a true speakeasy...speakeasy's don't have huge neon signs...lunch lunch

Every course was great. Maybe a little loud. Gazpacho was great. Dessert was amazing. Pork belly also good. Wish we cold have sat outside!

Wow. After living in Santa Rosa for over a year now, I'm still kicking myself for not making the short trip over to Sonoma for the wonderful culinary experiences that abound in the valley. And as I continue enjoying my Arroz Valenciana (perfectly balanced dish with incredible g flavors of the ocean and land, much lighter than I ever would have expected) and a glass of a Portuguese white blend I'll probably be taking a bottle home, I can't believe this is my first visit to LaSalette... it certainly won't be my last! In addition to the delicious, imaginative food (or at least imaginative to someone whose definitely an amateur when it comes to Portuguese food and wine) I love the atmosphere in this comfy and cozy restaurant just off of the town square. Sitting at the bar and seeing the food being cooked right in front of you is a great experience for 1-2 people, and I found the lunch menu to be perfect in size and reasonable for the quality of the food and the very good portions. Service was very friendly and unobtrusive and overall the experience really opened my eyes to Portuguese food culture, one that I'll definitely be making more of an effort to explore after this experience. Make sure to make LaSalette a stop on your next visit to the Sonoma Valley. From the excellent service to the fresh, fantastic menu and the perfect location, this is a spot not to be missed.

This delightful little spot is tucked back in behind the Sonoma square shopping area. It is a beautiful space that feels quite cozy. We were warmly greeted and seated immediately. I would highly recommend reservations. We ordered the works as this was my birthday celebration dinner. Everything was outstanding including the service. I had the asparagus salad special and scallops which was just the perfect amount. It was fun trying the flight of Portuguese wines along with my meal. My husband had the feijoada which he loved. Dessert was a flan with apples, caramel, and a peanut cage. The perfect birthday dessert!! We are already planning our return visit.

A group of 6 of us came here for a Bridal Shower dinner to celebrate my daughter's upcoming wedding. We had spent the day at a nearby Spa and were pampered, relaxed and hungry! We arrived on time for our reservation and was pleasantly greeted and seated immediately. The Bride To Be came wearing her tiara and sash so it was clear to all what we were celebrating. The service and hospitality we received from staff at La Salette was First Class, they surprised us with a Don Carneros champagne toast and proceeded to spoil us with complimentary bites! The food was wonderful! The day boat scallops were fresh sweet and delicious! We all ordered different entrees and everyone was pleased with their food. They really made our celebration very special and unforgettable. Thank you so much for everything my family and I will be back soon!

It has been sometime since DH and I visited LaSalette, but the memory of a special birthday lunch lingers on. My Spicy Piri Piri Chicken Salad was an interesting combination of flavors. DH enjoyed his paella-like Arroz a Valenciana -- something he would not attempt in our home kitchen. The meal ended with a delicious flan in a "peanut cage." Quite dramatic. The dessert alone is beckoning me back!

All the food was incredibly tasty. We got the day boat scallops appetizer, the farro and mushroom main, and the bacalhau main. They were all delicious. The service was friendly and timely, as well. I enjoyed the amuses-bouche they gave us, as well as the concluding bonbons, and they were kind enough to give me a scoop of caramel ice cream with a candle in it for my birthday. It's in a charming spot with its own parking lot, which also made for a better overall experience.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary. They brought out complementary champagne for the table of four with a sample of appetizers with warm friendly and flawless service. We ordered Tomato salad, cod cakes, Chourico/oysters all were amazing. Entrées and desserts were spot on. We had a great evening. You can't go wrong with an evening at La Salette.

Delicious food! We always come here when we're in Sonoma! All their seafood dishes are amazing.

LaSalette Restaurant, which we went to last night was absolutely spectacular. Our server Damien and the other table runners were superb. Just amazing service from everyone. Our appetizer which consisted of the octopus was perfect. The complimentary appetizer was excellent (forgot name). Kale salad, sea bass, short ribs unbelievably amazing. To top it off, our dessert was perfect. Such a truly fabulous place to eat. We were never rushed, which was so appreciated. Bravo to the chefs who prepared our memorable meal. We cannot wait to return. I really did feel like I was in Portugal.

The food is full of flavor. I can't even express how good it is. I highly recommend. I had the Pork belly appetizer, and the oieee and apple makes it perfect. Then, I had the bacalhau, and it was impressively delicious. Ambience is very well located and comfortable.

Service and food were equally disappointing - the hostess was dry and unfriendly to the level it felt as if I was being seated at an IHOP. The food was god-awful salty and heavy (kale salad, octopus and a sardine appetizer special). One of us ordered the Portuguese white wine flight which was delivered by a server who offered nothing more than to name each one as if we couldn't read the menu. The server was ok but clearly trained to be overly formal which just isn't a fit for a place that doesn't even have an interior restroom. Take the $100 you'd spend on 3 appetizers, a beer and a wine flight and go elsewhere.

Beautiful food and attentive service. It was a real treat and reminded me of my trip to Portugal!

This has been one of our favorite places to go out but sadly our most recent visit resulted in violent food poisoning. Of the 4 dishes we ordered, I'm pretty sure it was from the pork belly appetizer as the meat was visibly green-grey when it was served. I contacted the restaurant twice regarding the incident and never heard anything back. I just searched the reviews for "food poisoning" and "sick" and learned far too late that this has happened numerous times to other people, with the same unresponsiveness from management. We have had many wonderful memories at this restaurant and are honestly sad it had to end this way. Why won't the management communicate with customers when things go wrong? If they're afraid of having to refund a dinner because it left someone violently ill, then that's not a restaurant we should be going to. Based on how they handled this I won't be able to come back or recommend it to others. If you are looking for a different dinner option I would suggest Glen Ellen Star. If you find yourself going to La Salette anyway, I would recommend the red wine flights and the chocolate dessert, and will hope you have better luck than we did with the rest. Update: I did get a response from the owner! Sadly the message was extremely rude and condescending. If the owner is looking for a way to respond to customers, a simple apology for the experience would be sufficient instead of aggressively attacking someone's character. I had two stars here but I have to reduce to one. Truly heartbreaking. Will share the response with anyone who wants to see the true colors of this establishment.

My husband and I decided to try LaSalette to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had the perfect evening! Delicious food and impeccable service! Would definitely return! Shortly after we were seated, our servers brought us complimentary champagne to acknowledge our anniversary, which was unexpected and a nice touch. We started with amuse bouche - mini shrimp coquettes, the perfect bite to get us started on our fine dining experience. We ordered the roasted octopus, cod cakes, the Caldeirada, and the Filet of the Day. And for dessert, we had the fruit option. Everything, including the service, was "chef kiss!"

My favorite restaurant in Sonoma is La Salette. In the three days of my trip to Sonoma, I ate at La Salette THREE times, and would have gone four times if they had been open for breakfast the day of my departure! With different servers on every visit, the professionalism and warmth of every server added to the joy of every meal. There is a (free) parking lot behind the restaurant with a small driveway entrance on the main square; it is the best place to park unless you get a spot in front. Today's post is an amalgamation of all the meals I ate at La Salette :) Arriving in the early evening before a wedding week-end celebration, I knew that food was required before the cocktail reception held across the square to welcome all the guests, so I booked my first dinner based on location, and of course online reviews! The Brussel sprouts with a mushroom medley was beautifully charred, lightly cooked, and perfectly seasoned. Asparagus with ham and a poached egg, could have been a delightful breakfast, but we had it as a side vegetable dish. I loved the wood fired octopus with potatoes with potatoes for $19 The braised pork belly with smoked apple gastrique, frisée and madeira glaze for $18 was a popular appetizer. The house salad for $15 could have been a light lunch with a delightful sherry herb vinaigrette. The whole branzino for $38 was enough to share, and lightly cooked with a refreshing herbs and tomatoes. Easily enough to share if you are feeling generous ;) The fisherman stew for $32 was GIGANTIC! Every morsel was properly prepared, with an addictive jus from all the shellfish and linguiça that will have you asking for more bread to get every drop. The salt cod cakes for $17 are a classic Portuguese dish on the Portuguese leaning menu that embodies what they SHOULD taste like when done with a deft hand. The Moroccan black olive coulis added both a nice briny touch and an artistic flair to the presentation. If you love scallops, the wood seared day boat scallops for $20 should definitely be on your radar. After seeing several nearby tables order oysters, I succumbed and was happy to find them fresh, firm, and simply tasting of the ocean. The trio of frigid desserts for $11 was enough for the table to share, with lightly sweetened and fruity flavors to satisfy the sweet tooth diners at the table. After we ate dessert, they also offered a complimentary coconut ball that arrived with the bill. After drinking several glasses of their mineral forward vinho verde (I don't remember the name, but I do know they have another one that is fruity), I was glad I wasn't driving, and only had to navigate to the car parked 50 feet away!

Wonderful dining experience in Sonoma square. They have a nice outdoor patio with decor that makes you feel like you are in the Mediterranean. Inside has an open kitchen so you can see how they prepare everything. It's unique since there are not many Portuguese restaurants in the area. They have an extensive wine list. I tried the vino verde, a Portuguese wine. They serve a Portuguese bread that is kind of like a corn bread pita mix that is very good. Appetizers were the cod cakes and the mussels were on special. Very fresh seafood and beautifully presented. The garlic bread with the mussels was light and perfectly toasted. I tried the feijoada, the national dish of Brazil. It's a pork stew with black beans, rice and greens. This was a tasty dish and a lot more filling than it looks. We also had the piri piri chicken salad. I like piri piri sauce and this one is pretty good with just a little spice and heat. Overall this was an excellent dining experience and fits in perfectly with the wine country. I recommend anyone to go here when visiting Sonoma wine country. It can get busy so make reservations. I saw this place on check please and walked by years ago. Finally got the chance to try it and it was beyond my expectations.

Charming setting, excellent staff, extraordinary offerings. Highly recommended. Went 2 nights in a row.

Went here a couple of weeks ago for valentines weekend. Service was great and the place is cute. I ordered sangria and they were not shy with it. The brought me my sangria in a tall glass and I was not expecting that much. But the drink was good. It was great way to start dinner. Ordered the biased pork belly and I enjoyed that appetizer. You have to try it. I forgot to take a picture of it because I was really hungry. Had the filet of the day, which I feel bad I forgot what fish it was.... it had a bed of collard greens and grilled corn. It complimented each part of the dish really well. Collard greens can get a bit bitter for me, but together I had no bitter taste to it. It was the perfect serving size for me. Normally, I have trouble finishing my plate and would pass it to my boyfriend to finish but i was able to kill it. Would order again! Ended the meal with the chocolate dessert, it consisted of a banana slice, hazelnut ice cream, chocolate mousse. That was delicious and so happy I got that for dessert.

Service was exceptional. Although the place was A LITTLE hard to find. It is on the Sonoma square. I really enjoyed everything here and I recommend you all to visit

We are visiting California to celebrate a birthday, and we drove up to Sonoma from San Francisco. A city worker at a winery recommended La Salette, and we could not have been more pleased. The meal started with a complimentary bite of Shrimp Croquettes, followed by Cod Cakes,Day Boat Scallops and Grilled Octopus. We chose delicious Passion Fruit Sangria to accompany our meal. Every bite was perfectly delicious. There is so much good food to be had in this area, but the dining experience, for me, (as a retired professional chef) is so much than just food. In our experience here, the components most often left out are service and ambiance. La Salette hits every marker here. It sits back in the corner of a quiet little plaza. I felt like I was back in Europe. The service here seems especially personal, and dare I say, charming? They all seem to take a great deal of pride in the food. The complimentary bites to begin and end the meal is a touch of pure old world class and charm. The very young man that brought us more when I inquired about the ingredients is a true treasure. This is a meal I will always remember.

Dined here with a party of 6 on 21 April and everyone was disappointed with the service and food The chef did make an attempt to improve the experience with deserts but it was too late. We can not make a recommendation

My go-to Portuguese restaurant in Sonoma. Stated with caldo verde and had baked cod as main dish which was exquisite. Service and presentation was excellent as always. Very well done, great ambience

Great food, service and the location was great! You can bring wine from your wine tasting for a nominal corkage. I highly recommended the pasta dishes

We had no idea where to go but found this place thanks to all the good reviews. Wow, it was delicious! Best dishes were the whole roasted branzino (a special), the scallops which were cooked perfectly and the Portuguese Mac and cheese.

2 locals highly recommend LaSalette to us, I'm so glad we listened! The restaurant is a bit off the square, dimly lit, very inviting. We were seated at the Chef's Counter. We started with wine and the salted cod cakes which were light & beautifully presented. I'm a sucker for beet salad, the hot sonoma goat cheese on it was a nice touch. Farro risotto with local mushrooms oozed coziness in my mouth. The brazilian national dish with stewed beef, pork & smoked sausage was a nice introduction to Portuguese cuisine. No room for dessert! A special place. I hope to return sooner than later!

Just happened to attend during Portuguese restaurant week so I felt privileged to have this experience and opportunity to taste some of well thought out menu items. We opted not to have the restaurant week menu but the chef was very thoughtful to present us with some either way. The main menu has wonderful options, from sea to land so we tried a variety. The service was great & the food and plating were professionally executed. Would love to return during regular dinner hours to have another magical experience at this establishment. Hats off to the chef and the hardworking kitchen staff!

First the staff were very friendly and service oriented. One star reduction was because the indoor seating was not adequately air conditioned. It was a 100 degree day outside and I think the shaded patio might have been cooler than the inside of the restaurant. It was uncomfortable. The Branzino was fabulous -- very well prepared. The heirloom tomatoes for appetizer were also very nice. An additional star is taken because this is Sonoma -- the wines on the menus should be exquisite here if they are anywhere. I ordered a local Pinot noir and it was NOT good. I could only muster a couple of sips. The server didn't realize I hadn't drank the wine until we were finished with dinner. So it was just too late to make it right. Anyway, again, service was great. Just not quite up to expectations overall.

Staff was very friendly. Food was not as good. We visited this place maybe 10 yrs ago and it was great. This time portions were small for the price. Unfortunately, it's lost it's touch.

Ambiance can't be beat. Even the inside tables are good. We chose one outside because the sun was setting and the weather was perfect. They have a lot of different selections for apps and drinks. I tried the sardines, which were pretty meaty. For entre, I tried the fisherman's stew. It was pretty good. I wished it came with some bread. For dessert, I tried the Chocolate option, which was eclectic. I enjoyed all of the bites.

Beautiful outdoor setting * Herloom tomato salad gets a 5star *Oysters - 5 star *Short ribs - 3 star- the veggies were over cooked and just mixed in too much with the meat *Fish gets a 4 star - fresh and good but the corn tasted like canned corn

We just walked down a small alleyway along the perimeter of shops surrounding the Sonoma Square and stumbled upon LaSalette. It looked nice and we just decided to eat there for lunch. It was an absolute treat From the appetizers to dessert, everything served tasted great, service was top notch, and ambiance was well thought out. LaSalette serves Portuguese and Brazilian food but in a well thought out and modern way. We highly recommend this hidden gem.

Excellent service Excellent food Everything we had was very taste Waitress was knowledgeable about wine pairing for our food

This restaurant is FABULOUS with great food, great service and just a lovely place! It's my all time favorite restaurant!
