Came for brunch on my birthday 9/9 and I am so happy we did!! Our experience was definitely 10/10!! I ordered an espresso martini my way, and the bartender executed the cocktail perfectly! Start with the cariar dip and pork belly/Gruyère omelette (the dip was soo good and I’ve never had an omelette so fluffy in my life) we also got the cheeseburger (which my husband devoured) and the flounder dish (I have a gluten allergy, and they were graciously accommodating). Our waiter was outstanding, and to top it off, Kim came around and made our already amazing experience even better! This was our first visit, but now The Girl & The Fig has made its way on our go to Napa/Sonoma list every time we are there! I can’t wait to go back!
Loveeee Sunflower Caffe! 🌻 Such a great vibe, offered blankets and outside heaters on their back patio. Their gluten free bread is SO GOOD! I got the grilled ham & cheese, 10/10 will be back and definitely recommend if you’re visiting Sonoma and looking for a great breakfast or lunch!
Baker & Cook is the best! My partner can’t have gluten due to an allergy, and their gluten free options are our favorite probably in the whole world?
Great food, great coffee, incredibly friendly staff. Can’t say enough great things about this gem.
Food was good! I was able to find a ton of gluten free options and the waitress was knowledgeable about cross contamination. Atmosphere was good and the drinks were delicious.
Harvey himself was here to make recommendations and tell us his story! Great spot for fun flavors and gluten free options. Yummy blended lemonade, too!
I don't like leaving bad reviews but I ordered a tuna melt on gluten free bread here and the sandwich was a paltry size at best.
I understand the gluten free bread slices are just smaller than the other types of bread but this sandwich was child-sized and not satisfying for me.
If they had plated two of these smaller sandwiches or offered a soup or side dish, I would've been much happier.
Instead, I finished in about 4 bites, then bought a second lunch at another restaurant.
Our favorite spot in town! Easily on par with all the best places in SF. Diner vibes but with high-end farm-to-table food. Beautiful views out back. Highly recommend the spritz if you’re looking for a wine break. All the food is fantastic and most can be made gluten free (even the fish and chips). Also lowkey the burger is incredible
I have been to Valley twice this year. This is a stellar experience all around. The food and wine are divine. I have a gluten free diet restriction and many of their entrees and sides are gluten free. One of the plates I got was Roasted Stone Fruit with Ricotta. The flavors and textures were wonderful. My partner and I shared the Lamb dish, and he raved about it. This type of restaurant fits me because they have a lot of shareable plates. It is a small menu that changes (apparently).
Layla Restaurant is a hidden gem in Sonoma; we so appreciated the lovely ambience and delicious food, without having to leave town. We enjoyed leisurely cocktails, flavorful meals and great service on the peaceful, tree shaded patio as the sun was going down.
My husband has celiac disease, and our server asked about food allergies as soon as we were seated. There are several GF options on the menu, which was a treat. We started with well-crafted cocktails, probably the best vodka gimlet I've had in years. (For those who don't do alcohol, there is an interesting selection of mock-tails.) The salads looked very generous, but we decided (with the help of our server) to have the roasted brussel sprouts along with our entrees, that also included some veggies. The salmon and the scallops entries were cooked perfectly. The GF birthday dessert was heavenly.
The patio cooled down as the sun set, and I wished I had brought a light jacket. However, there were two types of patio heaters and the one on wheels worked perfectly to take off the chill. If you're a local or a visitor, you'll be sure to have a memorable experience at Layla's!
Excellent! We had the Don Chava burger (burger and bbq pulled pork), it was so good. I had mine on gluten free bread, delicious. We love everything about Picazo Cafe. I’ve been going there for a few years now and the remodel looks fantastic! The food, service and atmosphere is exactly what I’m looking for in a restaurant.
A fantastic lunch experience. Sitting at the bar was entertaining, really could be called the chef’s table. They were also quite knowledgeable about which items were gluten-free or could be made gluten-free.
Everything was delicious. Will be going back in the future to try other dishes.
Great food. Too much cheese though. Their beans make me bloated, which is odd. Maybe they need to soak their beans first.. IDK. They don’t have rice if you happen to be a rice person. Fresh, homemade tortillas and amazing chips made from those same tortillas. I really miss the squash enchiladas. And why not make the beer battered fish tacos gluten free?! It would be easy!
A wonderful cafe bringing the Scandinavian spirit to Sonoma. From tea, to coffee, to hot chocolate they have you covered. Great espresso, pastries (even gluten free options) are made in-house and they have godis (Swedish candy)!
Update: more Swedish pastries are coming!
We have been searching for good gluten free pizza. This is the most amazing gluten free pizza and salad! Terrific! The memory of the flavors stayed with us for hours! Outstanding!!
Rustic chic, food is 10/10. I’m still dreaming about the cauliflower appetizer. You know you’re doing something right when you have 8 girls from Chicago absolutely drooling over the pizza. Very accommodating to the gluten free folks out there. Every app, meal, dessert was an experience of its own.
Because it’s Napa they can get away with the simple rustic chic but I’d like to see this place add some spice to the ambiance so it’s not just another Napa/ Sonoma restaurant vibe.
