Critic Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle star

The French Laundry continues to raise the bar with wonderful whimsical California/French food in an enchanted country setting. Wine pairings are spot on and service is the gold standard. - Michael Bauer

The food was flawless, but the flaws were in the service aspect. I would still go back.

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, Thomas Keller called us personally and said, "If you don't like what I serve, don't come." We cancelled and will now dine at Gary Danko's in S.F., a much better restaurant. French Laundry is SO not worth what they charge you.

A memorable experience for the whole family. The restaurant and Mr. Keller certainly lived up to the buzz. My daughter and son-in-law, from the Bay Area, have made it one of their favorite restaurants in the world. Amos and Debra Alley Decatur, Al

Pay no attention to the low rating on service: that is ridiculous. The food is EXPERTLY PREPARED AND PRESENTED WITH ARTISTRY. The service was INCREDIBLE: I felt like ROYALTY. This was the MOST LUXURIOUS DINING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD. Thomas Keller is responsible for an INCREDIBLE COMBINATION: Food, Service, Atmosphere.
