There are few restaurants where dining inspires a pilgrimage. Since its opening in 1994, The French Laundry's vortex compels zealots from around the world. Many document their odyssey here be it by snapshot or blog, relaying every detail… Read Full Editorial
BIGGEST RIPOFF EVER! by 681955 via Citysearch on 5/11/2011
This review is LONG overdue, and i can not get this ridiculous experience out of my head. First of all, the hype around French Laundry is completely overrated! The fact that they make you call 3 months to the date that you want to make a…
Should Be On Every Foodie's Bucket List by huskyduck via Citysearch on 9/29/2010
The French Laundry is not just a great French restaurant in America, it is a great French restaurant anywhere in the world, most definitely including France. There is a magic that has been cultivated here that inspires the kitchen each…
Best French food even compared to France! by GinieParrot via Citysearch on 6/13/2010
Go for the tasting menu it changes often and the 9 course will fill you up and you will be amazed at every dish. The common words you hear from everyone is "WOW" and most will say that at least half of the dishes!\r

not too high an expection by manao1ls via Citysearch on 12/2/2009
I came into this restaurant without much expections at all. Or perhaps what I mean is not too high an expection. I certainly wasn't shocked when that's exactly what I got.
When I saw it on the menu and the foie gras terrine (not fresh)…
Is it THAT good? Nope. It's better. by FoieLover via Menuism on 6/2/2009

Surpassed my expectations by dmenkes via Citysearch on 3/1/2009
I made reservations two months ago and dined tonight. During that time, I had spent several weekends researching all I could about Thomas Keller, his restaurants, his philosophy, studied the 100+ page wine menu, etc. I've read more reviews…
Wishing for the wow factor! by epicuriousinsf via Citysearch on 12/8/2008
I dined at the French Laundry & was a bit disappointed. Started w/ oysters with a sabayon sauce, which I would have preferred chilled, I guess I wasn?t expecting the oysters to be poached, however the caviar was briny & delicious. Foie…
World Class French Cuisine by Jeime B via Insider Pages on 10/14/2008
My husband and I ate here for our anniversary. It was different from all the restaurants we've ever eaten at. First they treat you with first class service (10 STARS instead of just 5 STARS).\r

The menu prepared for us was…
French Laundry SO Not Worth The Price. by aanraku via Citysearch on 9/21/2008
We dined with a party of ten in Sept. 2006 and 2007. At our 2007 seating they forgot the promised birthday cake and 5 of the 9 dishes were the same as the previous year. When we emailed and asked them to vary the menu for our 2008 seating,…
French Laundry is SO not worth what they charge you. by aanraku via Gayot on 9/17/2008

"Discriminating" Service by DaveMSanFrancisco via Citysearch on 8/25/2008
Due to character limitations, I can't show my full review, but it can also be found on the Yelp website. Look up user "Dave M" under the French Laundry reviews.\r

Simply put, the food was incredible. A culinary masterpiece, sadly…
The service ruined the entire experience... by FoodieJr5 via Citysearch on 7/1/2008
We went here for our 5th anniversay, after a wait of nearly 4 months. The dishes was okay, but far from spectacular. I am a pretty nice guy and maybe my expectations were higher, but this is truly a classic example of a restuarant with…
Such a disappointment by Likestotravel1954 via Citysearch on 4/5/2008
After waiting the apparently "required" 2 months to get a reservation at The French Laundry, my husband and I were extremely excited to experience this "world class" restaurant. The wait staff, though attentive, was stiff and pompous, the…
Go to Auberge instead! by Hansell via Citysearch on 4/2/2008
I like to be offered a drink before dinner when I'm about to sit down for 10 courses. I had to ask twice and they would not serve our champagne until everyone had arrived at the table. 2/10 courses were truly magic. The others fell way…
Spectacular by Jillian F via Insider Pages on 2/24/2008
We made a reservation, and they called us that afternoon to tell us the choices on the menu. Our reserved table was ours the whole night, no one was there before us or after us. The prices are upscale but it is worth it for the…

wonderful food by navpreet k via Insider Pages on 10/7/2007
Took my family to the french laundry for dinner. Wonderful cooking. Great Service. Worth the wait. Pricy however, and not the kind of place to go to on a budget.
