"There's a reason this restaurant is so highly revered. Its everything you expect a fine dining experience to be and then some. All the waitstaff is tremendously attentive and professional. The meal is made with the highest skill level and combination of flavors. Its a culinary experience unlike any other. Even if you return here multiple times you would never have the same meal."

"Never has a dining experience impacted my wife and I as much as at The French Laundry. We were excited for this meal, building it up in our heads for the 2 months following the day we made our much coveted reservations. Worried that our expectations were too high by the time we finally visited the establishment, every moment of the night served only to validate the reputation that Chef Keller and his staff have earned since opening in 1994. Every member of the restaurant's team cared for the place as if it was his or her own. And, as imagined, the food was nothing short of inspiring. Each element of the evening was planned and executed to perfection. We chose TFL to celebrate our 1st anniversary and it was a meal we will never forget!"

"Our first time back in more than a decade and even better this time. Got an Opentable lunch reservation three days in advance. Lunch is a wonderful way to spend your nearly four hours. We ate upstairs looking over the gardens across the street. Our server Milton felt like family by the time we were done and even gave us a kitchen tour. As it was my birthday, they even printed my name and Happy Birthday Scott on the menu - nice touch. Oh, and the food was amazing from the oysters and pearls to the splurge for wagyu. Yes it is crazy expensive but really felt worth it."

"Again this was an experience that was special. Thanks to the staff there making a birthday celebration memorable. Service and employees were very pleasant and near perfect. I would have liked a few things differently, but that is just a search for some flaw in a great service. I have read complaints about not having enough food, but that was not the case for our group. The courses started out really grand and met my high expectations. We had mixed thoughts at the table on the final savory courses. Overall really nice. The only true negative about the meal is that there was a scale in a couple of the 'sea bream' filets.
Conclusion, had a great time."

"Second trip to the French Laundry; last was 2 years ago for lunch, and it was pure perfection.
The French Laundry never fails to dazzle us. The service is always very attentive and knowledgable on all items on the food/wine list. The impeccable attention to ALL details never fails to impressive.
The food is nothing short of amazing. Art in the form of food. Flavors that blend effortlessly, fresh ingredients and seasoned to perfection.
Our meal was five hours long, but time felt like it flew by. Plate after plate of the most delicious and elegant food and wine.
It was a sensational meal, one not soon forgotten."

"We were lucky to get an open table in short time. My wife and I have gone to many highly rated restaurants and all of them almost always have some negative reviews. So, we always like to experience the food ourselves. The French Laundry did not disappoint us. We agree that it was the best food we ever had and that's comparing to places like Gary Danko in San Francisco, Matsumoto's in Napa, Roy's in Hawaii and even The Kitchen in Sacramento. The service was impeccable and the extra's were exra ordinary. the ingredients were fresh and prepared expertly; not overcooked or undercooked and seasoned just right. I think the chef's pride comes through the food. If we ever get a reservation again, we are definitely going back"

"The service and food were excellent! My wife especially liked the spring flower/color highlights added to the presentations. The dishes were so beautifully prepared that one didn't want to disturb them by eating the presentation. The staff were all very friendly, which added to an overall comfortable and warm experience."

"We were 6: myself, husband, 2 adult children with friends--celebrating their graduation. It was a great dining experience which will be remembered for the impeccable lunch service and fabulous food. My husband and I had eaten at French Laundry after it first opened--we miss the outdoor seating and a more informal service. Tips I would offer to first timers: 1. Come with a large appetite. The lunch tasting menu lists 7 courses but there were extras provided which added up to about 10 dishes. Lunch lasted 4 hrs. 2. The wine cellar has 2500 wines-ask the server for help if overwhelmed 3. The 2nd floor has more sunlight which lightens formality 4. Sometimes they'll let you see the kitchen. 5. Visit their garden!"

"This second visit to The French Laundry did not disappoint - an updated menu with a few favorites still to be enjoyed - especially the chocolatier offerings near the end of the meal. The scallop dish was now a choice between an offering with lobster or crab - we tried one of each and found them delicious. Our favorite part of the experience was the balance of flavors in each plate - the dishes are composed for tasting in one bite - everything works so well - this is the signature of the restaurant - the understanding that the flavors - fresh and fabulous - need to work together. Will try to do again!"

"Second visit, food was spot on. There were a few repeats from my visit 2 years ago which was a little disappointing and one of the dishes served was chicken, which I wouldn't have expected at FL. However there were a few amazing courses that my taste buds went mad for and are now sad they may never experience again. :-( The service is impeccable and they people they hire are so nice. They indulged our every request, including a visit to the (spotless) kitchen."

Hard to dewcribe unless you experience it yourself..
It was a lot like a great movies, just when you thought it was over but secretly hoped it wasn't they would bring out another surprise... At hey ended up bring up cookies and boxes of flavored chocolates to take home...
Even did a tour if the Kitchen and met the chef afterwards..
THE NEW BAR against which all dining will be measured."

"As everyone has I had heard of The French Laundry. I did find reservations available on Opentable.com very easy to work with. Reservations where confirmed with a call from The French Laundry. The restaurant is a small venue with ample space without crowding. The staff was very accommodating from the moment we stepped in the door. Our wait staff greeted us right away and insured us we would have a great evening. The group of 4 of us where very diverse from a well-informed foodie and wine connoisseur, to a vegan and an average Joes. The wait staff went over the menu with us and asks if we had any special considerations, allergies, etc. They happily made suggestions for the vegan and also accommodated some likes and dislikes. The wine sommelie"

"The food was outstanding, as was the service. Nothing new can be said here. I was a little surprised about the noise level. I was expecting it to be very quiet, but was pleasantly surprised that everyone was speaking at normal conversation levels."

"The food is once-in-a-lifetime incredible: creative, thoughtful, and above all else, delicious. They have an amazing wine list, and the pairings we got were fantastic! Best of all though, the service was flawless -- they make you feel at home and at ease at the best restaurant in the country."

"Very nice restaurant I go there since 1996 but you should ask them it is better to play some music
You can feel that some of the customers are not comfortable to have a conversation it is to quiet and you can also listen to people conversation."
