Sonoma’s Layla Restaurant Takes a Time Out

Brunch, lunch and dinner service are on hold, although MacArthur Place hotel guests can have breakfast at the restaurant.


The upscale Layla restaurant at MacArthur Place in Sonoma is temporarily closed.

Brunch, lunch and dinner service are on hold, although guests of the hotel can have breakfast at the restaurant. Layla is slated to reopen “before Labor Day weekend” according to publicists, with a new menu from Executive Chef Jordan Hoffman. The Bar at MacArthur also is closed to outside visitors but remains open for guests.

The renovated hotel and spa have been through a tough few years, after the parent company, IMH Financial Group, entered into bankruptcy protection in 2020 and COVID-19 temporarily closed the restaurant.

In 2021, the restructured property reopened with significant changes to the Layla menu and a covered outdoor dining space.
