NOTE: WHILE THE FRENCH LAUNDRY KITCHEN UNDERGOES A MAJOR RENOVATION, CHEF-PROPRIETOR THOMAS KELLER EXERCISES HIS EXEMPLARY CULINARY SKILLS IN A TEMPORARY KITCHEN. There are few restaurants where dining inspires a pilgrimage. The French Laundry’s vortex compels zealots from around the world. Many document their odyssey here, relaying every detail from the hard-to-score reservation to the journey...

"Consistently" "superior" standards continue to mark Thomas Keller's fine-dining "nirvana" in Yountville, which "awakens the senses" with "soul-satisfying" French-American tasting menus paired with "amazing" wines and served with "formal" flair in a setting that "oozes class and sophistication"; the "otherworldly" "event" ("plan on three to four hours") requires "scads of money" and scoring...

Thomas Keller is the chef-owner behind this discreet restaurant that regularly ranks as one of, if not the, best restaurant in the world. Plainly put, a meal at the French Laundry is unlike any other dining experience. Part of its unique character has to do with the intricate preparations, often finished tableside, presented with uncommon artistry and detail -- from the food itself to the...

A wooden clothespin at each table setting reminds you that this, perhaps the greatest restaurant in America, began life in the 1890s as a French steam laundry. The upstairs dining room of the...

Dull decor, bad lighting, poor service and dirty carpet is not what you would expect at such a restaurant. It's hard to enjoy the food with those other issues.
We were thrilled to go to the French Laundry with two other couples while visiting Napa....

We were pretty excited about going to The French Laundry, having enjoyed other two- and three-Michelin star restaurants over the years. We did have a great evening, but were a wee bit disappointed with the food. Although not totally: The meal started with their signature...

Amazing! Exquisite! Wonderful! You name any expletive and you cannot describe this culinary experience. It is fixed menu and fixed price. Reservations must be made well in advance (and you are lucky to get them). The only caveat is that it is extremely expensive, so...

By far the best experience I’ve had with food. We reserved the private dining room which was well worth the price. Everyone in our family loved all the dishes even the picky eaters. Service was outstanding and the staff was attentive but gave us our...

I Have Never Been Treated This Rudely in Any Restaurant I Have Visited in 60 Years of Restaurant Dining

Rude, rude, rude and rude. Overpriced and rude. At the haughtiest restaurant in Paris you are treated better. The food it great, if overpriced, but the service is so rude you leave with a really bad taste in your mouth. Oh, did I mention how...
