Went to Napa for a wedding. Tried to call probably fifty times (3 months ahead of time) for a reservation. Busy signal, always. Frustrating. Tried redial/ speed dial. Called them at 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 am (Central) when I knew they were closed. Still a busy signal. Then I read an interview with the owner and discovered his philosophy of... more

In early May, I attempted to make a reservation for late June via the restaurant reservation line. I began calling first thing in the morning and after TWO HOURS of consistent busy signals, I nearly gave up. After checking the restaurant web site, I discovered customers could make reservations via Open Table.com After attempting to make a reservation and spending... more

My boyfriend and I celebrated my birthday at the French Laundry on June 20, 2008. We both LOVE food, and I am a bonafide foodie. We enjoy eating out frequently, and the Bay Area has many wonderful restaurants to offer. The Napa/Sonoma area in particular is beautiful, with spectacular scenery, outstanding wineries, and many fine dining options. We visited FL... more

My husband took me to the French Laundry for our 10th wedding anniversary as a surprise. We decided to go into it with low expectation, I mean after all, it is just food, how good could it be? The restaurant is elegant, and the staff is perfect and accomodating. Our waiter had been a culinary graduate, and a former restaurant... more

greatest experience ever in terms of quality of the food and beverage. a bit to much at the end. I wish I could have tried the mignardises. I loved the brake somewhere in the middle of the menu outside by a glass of champagne. more

We thought we were lucky to get our reservation two months ahead of time... This party of two wish we could take the whole experience back (plus get our $800 back).
