We only popped into this place for the foie gras and it was cooked perfectly! It’s kind of tucked down one of the shopping alleyways off the square. Nice little restaurant and they were really busy. We were able to sit at the bar and watch all the food pass by. Great service and we even got a free appetizer. I’d come back to try out all the other dishes.

Lovely atmosphere, food fresh, service attentive, but portion size small for the entrée dinner price. I and my guest left hungry. I had fillete do dia for $ 26. My guest had caldeirada for $ 26.
Seems as if it could at least come with a small kale salad or offer of another roll.
Probably will not go back.

Absolutely delicious! I had the arroz valenciana & my husband had the fish & chips. The scallop in my dish was perfect!
The service was great!
I’ll definitely come back & recommend this place to my friends.

Food 5 stars service 2 stars so 3.5 star on average
Ok I really want to give LaSalette 5 stars … The food was on point, delicious and also affordable!
— The daily special of the whole fish was sooooo good must get!
— casserole was also very delicious
— foie gras was ok but decent generous portion
— the platter of sampler was also good, though a bit smaller. I wanted to try the mixed tapas appetizer I saw on Unilocal but obviously the chef opened (and moved?) to another tapas restaurant down the road so they cancelled the dish
— bread was delicious as well
Dessert looks great but we were too full. We actually ordered the ice cream plate which came with 4 types of ice cream because we wanted to try piripiri icecream! And it was delicious
Back to service issue! First we were seated outside on the far corner so maybe that is why the service was soooo slow. The servers who served us were super nice but Still I wish they came to check on us more.
Most importantly, they forgot our amuse! How did they forget that! I realized that after we got the main course and asked for it otherwise we would never get to try it (and it was delish)
Also being in Napa, I hoped they would be more knowledgable about wine. Schrug pinot that we got was a bit too overpriced (even by restaurant standard) and they only had bordeaux glass for red wine.

This place was phenomenal! The bacalao puffs and the chorizo crusted calamari are to die for! This place is a must try!

Came here again with different friends. They are used to good eats and raved about the place. I had an even better experience than my first visit. Definitely have the 4 ice cream dessert… amazing!

Food amazing, service on patio slow, but overall a worthwhile dinner. The wine selection is nice. A mixture of Portuguese and local wines. The flights are a good bargain and a great way to try a few different ones.
Food — you must get the scallops, asparagus salad and pork belly. We did a sampling of the starters and were very pleased with ourselves.

I cannot personally vouch for the quality of LaSalette since I’ve never been there. I wrote to them last summer to arrange a special dinner for my sister and her husband for their honeymoon. LaSalette (or, more specifically, Kimberley) was very helpful in setting everything up and making sure it went smoothly. If you are looking for a great restaurant that will go above and beyond to accommodate you, choose LaSalette.
(For the record, both my sister and brother-​in-​law reported that the food, service, and ambiance were all perfect.)

In the Sonoma area for a get away weekend with your besties. Lasalette comes highly recommended from foodie connoisseurs, and made reservations 2 weeks before.
NOTE: hidden in back of an alley compacted with mom and pop shops.
Table for 7 please! We had late reservations taken at 845p but served our food quick! If you love Portuguese food? This is your spot to come too! Authentic flavors and large servings. Due to we were semi full from a day full of wine tasting and snacks we only order a couple of appetizers and a couple of plates to share. Check out my photos! My pictures don’t lie lol
Service: 5 stars
Food: 4 stars
Ambiance: Rustic and modern
Price: Quality over quantity $$
Thank you again for your hospitality

We haven’t been to this restaurant for a few years. This time the food is astonishing. We ordered the Tasca taster for appetizer. Everything we ordered was good. Then comes the sea bass and Feijoara completa. Both entrees were superb. I tasted both, and preferred the sea bass over the meat stew.
Definitely recommend trying.

Nesting in the back of a small shopping center at Sonoma Plaza, this small comfortable place offer Portuguese classics in modern culinary format and sophistication. Not a common combination, hence so special. Tasting Plate invites you to create your own selection of small bites, 3÷5÷7 out of 20 items. Hard to resist trying them all, but be reminded that any of the starters will surprise you with chic and delicious segway to the main course. Along with 3 courses, we enjoyed a freight of generous pour of 3 Portuguese White Wines, which were so refreshing and perfect match with our seafood selections. Service is relaxed and very welcoming. Wish we had enough room for desert.
Don’t let the cozy look of the place fool you, if you are looking for food for foodies.
Tasting Plate (Fried Goat Cheese/​White Anchovies/Pig’s Feet Terrine) + Starter (Cod Cakes) + Grilled Sea Bass + Portuguese White Wine Freight (x 2) + T&T = 130 $

I just read all of the reviews I have ever written and realized I have never reviewed the BEST restaurant in Sonoma.
Now here’s the bad news: if you are not a person that loves this world’s cuisine, and you are not an adventurous eater, this can still be good for you, but you will miss the point.
Adventure in dining is the cheapest thrill you can buy as compared to buying the other sorts of adventure. I don’t want to preach to the choir, but I do want to invite the others into the church of food. The sort of church and food that you don’t know, but just love.
So here’s our strategy when we eat there… Go at mid day. I won’t say lunch because it is so much finer than that. Order from the top left part of the menu. They are not really appetizers, because they are so much more than that. They are the tastes of Portugal, which is a very sweet country. If you haven’t visited, you must go, and go from the North to the South.
Back to the upper left part of the menu– order anything that stimulates the slightest bit of curiosity. (Sorry to some of you, but don’t miss the blood sausage, I’ve had several other offerings from other places, and this is the best.) We generally order 5 or 7 different things for the two of us. Then stop and re-​group. Split an entrée if you are still hungry.
But whatever you do!, save room for dessert. Get two, don’t be silly. They are the most creative things you will find in I don’t know how many miles. We have had them all, and they are all good. Go with what sounds good to you and yours.
Those that are fore-​warned, are fore-​armed, so knock yourselves out!

Came here with the fam for an early Sunday dinner. Maggy, our waiter, was wonderful — attentive but not overbearing.
We ordered the pork tenderloins, the garden veggies with polenta, scallops, and the special — which was a whole bass! Everything we had was exceptional and beautifully presented. The wine list is good too, and not super expensive. The bottle of zinfandel we ordered was delicious.
I especially love how they start you with warm, fresh baked rolls and a chorizo, cheese and olive bite. Also, all their vegetables are locally sourced — a big plus for me! To finish, they bring out truffles with a hazelnut in them. Perfect experience.
Highly recommend this place for the service, food and ambiance.

So good I came back again during a fairly short stay. Aside from the wonderful bread, everything I had was excellent. My visit was during Lent so I didn’t eat meat, but the seafood and vegetable dishes are wonderful. Try the codfish cakes!
You can make yourself a sharing starter plate with three, five or seven items. I particularly liked the escargot and the smoked sturgeon, but when I come back after Easter, I’ll try the meat possibilities and will probably have new favorites.
Great service, a lovely environment, and just an all over nice experience.

Perfect from start to finish!
Start: A shot glass with yogurt-​topped golden and red beet purée … Amazing, soft dense hot rolls with real butter.
Drinks: Excellent local and unique wine selection and fantastic pomegranate sangria!
Appetizer: Outstanding (I’m talking bowl-​licking) corn chowder purée topped with fresh Dungeness crab.
Entrees: My guy had the NY steak topped with a fried egg and perfect French fries in an au jus that was AMAZING (at first I was like oh my God those fries are going to be soggy… And then I tried them & my mouth danced the happy dance)! I had the polenta and veggies — perfectly cooked veggies, good polenta.
Dessert: A chocolate trio of choc mousse, choc soufflé, and choc ice cream … All delicious! Gorgeous presentation! But the best ending to the night? The piri piri ice cream with a spicy pepper finish — amazing. We couldn’t get enough! Coffee was good too ;)
Highly recommend — will definitely be back!

Came here on a drizzly Saturday night and it was pretty busy. The host said he couldn’t accept anymore walk ins for the night at 6pm, and we were quite disappointed. We were hanging around in the foyer trying to figure out where else to go for dinner when the host actually came up to us and offered bar seating if we came back in 30 min. Definitely worth the wait!
We got a 3 item taster for $ 17. They also have 5 and 7 item tasters.
Fried Sonoma goat cheese: topped with figs, this was pretty good but not amazing.
Morcela — blood sausage: I was scared this would taste too much like a strong liver taste, but I was wrong. It was delicious, soft and smokey!
Tripe stew a Porto: the best thing on this taster, so good. I could eat a whole dish of this. The tripe was super tender, and the flavor of the stew was on point.
Feijoada Completa — Brazilian national dish stewed beef, pork, smoked sausage, black beans $ 25: Wow this dish was great! Everything went well together and it also comes with crispy rice and greens. I don’t know how they make their meat so tender. My boyfriend was in heaven.
Dessert: I don’t remember what we ordered but it was a traditional trio. There was an almond ice cream fig cake which was light and delicious, although the ice cream was pretty hard to dig into. The malasadas were really cute and crispy. There was also rice pudding that was good, but I’m usually not a fan of rice pudding.
I can’t wait to come back here to try something else!
TLDR: go here now. Get the tripe stew in a taster. Can’t go wrong with the Feijoada Completa.

Thank you Unilocalers for the reviews, this was an excellent choice. The food and service was superb! I’m planning a trip back just to eat here again.
Try the paella and the chocolate fetish!

Great location just off the square. We enjoyed a tasting plate of serrano ham, linguia sausage, and fried goat cheese. My Caldo Verde was quite good. She enjoyed her Piri Piri Chicken salad.
The patio is excellent for people watching.

I found LaSalette while researching places to dine in Sonoma and the reviews here were pretty impressive.
We were treated to the heirloom tomato water with a touch of basil, prosciutto and a drop of olive oil.
Me: Blue Nose Sea Bass — different from the Chilean Sea Bass I’m use to. This one is leaner & less flaky. The grilled yellow corn accompanying the sea bass was delicious.
Wife: Chourico crusted Scallops and really like the flavor.
Portion: for $ 26 for lunch the portion was a bit small.

I’m really glad that I found this place for Unilocal!It was a fabulous experience and I wished I was closer because I would definitely dine at this place frequently!
I had the scallops appetizer and it was delicious! I loved how all the components came together perfectly, both in flavor and texture and started the night in a high note! I had the sea bass for the entrée, and it was very good as well. I love how their seafood is flavorful without being heavy, which is a major plus for me. Not to mention, again, the sides really complimented the dish as well.
For dessert, I had the «You’re my pudding.» I liked how the dessert comes in trios because I love variety!
