French Laundry - Napa
I am planning my first CA trip next summer and am considering including the French Laundry restaurant in my itinerary. I have always seen it mentioned here at Fodors.
I assume it is very good. I have looked for a website to see pics, menu, etc., and have only been able to find information on the founding chef.
When I search here at Fodors, all I find are comments like "Make sure you reserve two-months in advance," "Coat and tie expected," and "Very expensive."
Fodorites... Any more specific comments on this establishment? Thanks!
Happy Trails,
Paul

I just did a google.com and came up right away with the restaurant's website complete with menu, etc. It was the very first entry for "french laundry". I didn't see any prices. I guess if you have to ask, then you can't afford it. Also, it doesn't look like a place where you can just drop in the day before and make a reservation. More like a couple of weeks or...more? Soon as my stocks begin to recuperate (I'm not holding my breath!) I'm thinking of giving that place a try!

On a cooking board I frequent several have been to it. It is apparently a real "trick" to even get a reservation. You must start calling on the 2 month (or whatever time interval is what they say they will accept reservations) DAY and just stay on the phone until you reach them. Apparently it is a culinary experience.
