What People Are Saying About Cafe La Haye

The Scene – The dining room is so small and breezy that succulent aromas from the tiny kitchen easily drift past all of the 14 tables in the split-level dining room. Casually dressed patrons pack both floors, one decorated in Mexican tiles, the other in hardwood. Rotating exhibits of large, original paintings deck the walls, a decor choice indicative of the free-spirited fare to come. – – The Food – The understated yet colorful menu is a showcase for local organic produce. Crumbled blue cheese salad with baby greens, spiced walnuts and roasted golden beets…

OK food, underwhelming service and exclusionary attitude
by Rangiporo
I agree with Attitudinal, every time I relent and go there, I'm sorry I did. The waitstaff are imperious and unhelpful...you can almost see them impatiently tapping their toes while you order. The owner has his favorite customers and the food is good but certainly not great. All in all, it doesn't add up to its reputation and its prices.

Attitudinal
by winewinewinedinedinedine
I've gone to La Haye numerous times, hoping that I'm going to prove my previous experiences wrong, but unfortunately having them confirmed.
Every visit to La Haye feels like you should be grateful they let you dine at their restaurant.
The owner chooses his favorite customers the way a doorman at a nightclub assesses who to let in.
While the food is good, it's nothing really special, and many times has been overly salty.
The service goes along with the "attitude." Servers are not adept at describing dishes and are blase about getting around to you.
It's a cute little place, but not deserving of it's culinary reputation in my opinion.
- Pros: Charming setting
- Cons: Lax service

bar is best seat
by noefoodie
Since we arrived early for our reservation and our table was not yet ready, we opted to sit at the bar, which is right smack in front of the kitchen. Turns out this is the best seat in the house. We watched the 5-person kitchen staff prepare everything in that tiny space. Highly entertaining.
The food is simple (roast chicken, pastas, steak, lamb shanks, etc.), but very well prepared. I highly recommend any of the pastas on the menu (around $14).
The desserts are also simple (chocolate torte, rice pudding, creme brulee, a fruit crisp), but again, well executed. We didn't leave a single drop to waste. All desserts were $6 that night.

Have been here 4 times and have not been disappointed - even once!
Service could be a bit more warm. But overall you cannot miss here!
- Pros: great, inventive, awesome
- Cons: service funky
