At home amidst the historic buildings surrounding Sonoma's historic plaza, LaSalette Restaurant has earned its reputations as one of the Sonoma Valley's favorite restaurants since its inception in 1998. Chef Manuel Azevedo's signature Cozinha Nova Portuguesa "New Portuguese Cuisine" -celebrates the varied and complex flavors of his native Portuguese homeland while adapting them to the immense offerings of top-quality ingredients from his current home in California. The result is a unique cuisine characterized by familiar Southern European comfort ingredients, exotic seasonings picked from around the globe during hundreds of years of Portuguese expeditionary voyages, and fresh local and seasonal Californian produce. As the success of LaSalette attests, it’s a winning combination for lovers of traditional Portuguese fare and adventurous gourmets alike.

    We have dined at LaSalette for dinner several times over the years. This place is always spot-on. The menu is solid, fresh, unique, and went well with the Williams Seylem Pinot Noir I brought in for lunch. However, LaSallete has a nice domestic & international wine list quite capable of complimenting it's food menu. The menu has a great starters list authentically capturing the true elements of Portuguese cuisine...great memories of Porto for me. It's a great place off the Sonoma Plaza. I feel transported to another part of the world...just a short drive from the SF Bay Area.

    Excellent food, great menu with a lot of variety, and outstanding service. We would definitely come back. The Fisherman’s Stew was full of seafood and very tasty. The branzino special was also quite good. Desserts were creative. Sangria was really nice. Overall great experience.

    food was quite good. The cucumber gazpacho, and the dayboat scallops dishes were great appetizers. Our entrées of Corvina fish of the day preparation, and the pork and clams were quite different and yet quite good. Lovely courtyard that we were able to sit in.

    I live locally and it is one of the best tasting food in Sonoma. We had four different dishes that were all amazingly delicious. The food was artistically displayed in each dish. We will continue to bring guests there when they come to visit.

    Charming restaurant. Went here because we got hungry from checking out the mission and the General's home. I adored the sampaguita flowers, it definitely adds to the dining experience. Service: Service is what i expected, fast and attentive. Served water in less than 3 minutes, is usually a good indicator that we'll be enjoying a good service. Was served bread a few minutes later, bread is warm but could be warmer. A bit on the sweeter side which i like and the butter is in room temp. perfect. Amuse Bouche: 8/10 Croquette is good. The sauce was better, it has this deep orange colour that resembles most spicy chili sauce. I was surprised when its sweet bell pepper flavour took over. Scallops: 10/10 Scallops perfectly cooked. Heated plates' temp considered is a big plus. Sweet potato paired with the leek (sauerkraut?) I'm not sure but it's amazing. Really light, chip is a nice touch. Plating is balanced and top notch. i love it. Fish of the day: 9/10 I adored the plating, the palette is spring in summer. Fish well seasoned, collared greens are crisp and flavourful. Roasted corn is incredible. One thing i didn't like is that i caught 3 pieces of fish bone. Aside from that, it's perfect. Arroz a Valenciana: 5/10 I love the Paella, but the aioli is a bit too much for the dish. Probably the first time i've ever been served a Paella like dish with aioli and it's a miss for me. Trying this dish after the perfectly seasoned fish made me realize the dish itself is underseasoned and relies on the aioli. It made the dish tacky both in flavours and plating. I'd avoid this dish. Presentation is good tho. It also rained so we just skipped desserts and ran to the car.. Petit Four: 6/10 Bukayo like bites. i'm not sure if it is bukayo but the flavours do say so. If it is bukayo, the textures are a bit off but the flavours are perfect. Overall, this place is a nice relaxing spot to have lunch at. I recommend taking a table outside and smell the jasmine flowers.

    Food was awesome as the service. Loved the tiny little appetizer taste brought to our table. The kale salad with linguica and cheese and anchovy dressing was amazing. Scallop appetizer over the top and the main course paella type dish with mussels, clams, chicken and linguica was outrageously beyond good!! They brought me hazelnut ice creAm with a candle for my birthday!! Highly recommend this restaurant!!!

    My wife and I came to the restaurant to celebrate my birthday. Every dish is perfect. If you want to go to a high-standard place and have high-quality food, while being tired of entering fraudulent Michelin restaurants, you must try this one. Unlike other fine-dining restaurants that treat customers like idiots and give overpriced and over-explained stupid things to eat, this restaurant knows what is good food and respects the customer. This restaurant does not sell "fancy concepts" of food. It simply cooks good quality food. Please come and support this small business, and keep it open, so as to let the whole world know that Northern Californians know what is good food.

    There was a table with three men that were shouting their conversation. It was disruptive to everyone. We could not sit outside because it was too cold. We were seated inside but received no service for 10 minutes. The people at the table next to us got up and left. We finally got up and left. We went to El Dorado where the service and atmosphere was exceptional.

    The food quality and presentation is impeccable. Very authentic - like being in Spain or Portugal. Absolutely delicious, we love the grilled octopus and the fisherman’s stew, and the the whole fresh catch of the day! Very clean food with impeccable flavors and ingredients.

    Super impressed with La Salette. We moved out of the area 20 years ago so this was the first time back and if anything it was even better than before. Fast and courteous wait staff, generous portions and comps, delicious dishes: NY steak (bitoque), porco Alentejano, Branzino -- all excellent. We didn't have dessert but the apps were just as good as the main dishes (cod cakes and kale salad). Highly recommend!

    The most amazing anniversary dinner my wife. The food was beyond delicious and traditional from Portugal. Everything thing was world class. My wife got the Pork and Clams, just like we had in Portugal. I had the Steak and Frittes, cooked in a wood fire oven and just perfect. It bordered on medium rare and medium. I order my medium. It was so juicy and flavorful with delightful small bite surprises of salty green olives. The dessert ended up the highlight of the meal. Rather than having to chose between ice cream flavors we received a complete sampler dish of Piri Piri Chocolate, creamy mango ice cream, one more I can not remember but it was like a spicy vanilla, and a green apple sorbet. The service was top notch. As soon as we sat down we were given 2 glasses of complementary champagne for our anniversary. Everyone had a smile and did a perfect job. Our food and drinks were all brought out in a timely manner. We cant wait for our next visit to Sonoma to go back again.

    I just made my second visit to LaSalette and want to comment while my memory is fresh. My scallops appetizer was really phenomenal, as was the flan dessert, while my lunch partner was perfectly happy with the Portuguese Fisherman’s Stew. The women who served us were very pleasant.

    Beautiful courtyard tucked away off Sonoma Square. We truly enjoyed the food and service. The chef even sent out a surprise appetizer and dessert tasting! Our paella and seafood stew were tasty and filled with excellent seafood. The Portuguese rolls were complimentary. We will definitely be back with friends. Also, the drinks were reasonably priced and well selected.

    Outstanding menu, food, and locale. Servers were generally young and inexperienced; ours was on his second day on the job and left to fend for himself. He forgot to place our initial order and forgot to bring us bread. We could see similar issues around us with one couple leaving early due to service. Difficult to retain servers these days and they definitely were trying their best but nonetheless an issue for an upscale restaurant
