Frommer's Review
Well-prepared and wholesome food, an experienced wait staff, friendly owners, a soothing atmosphere, and reasonable prices -- including a modestly priced wine list -- make La Haye a favorite. In truth, everything about this cafelike restaurant is winning. With hardwood floors, an exposed-beam ceiling, and revolving contemporary artwork, the small, split-level dining room is smart and intimate. It's clearly a small business -- a welcome departure from Napa Valley's conspicuously corporate restaurants. The straightforward, seasonally inspired cuisine, which chefs bring forth from the tiny open kitchen, is delicious and wonderfully well priced. Expect a risotto special; pasta such as fresh tagliarini with butternut squash, prosciutto, sage, and garlic cream; and pan-roasted chicken breast, perhaps with goat cheese-herb stuffing, caramelized shallot jus, and fennel mashed potatoes. The filet of beef seared with black pepper-lavender sauce, served with Gorgonzola-potato gratin, is sure to please meat lovers.
