I'm not a 'foodie' and didn't expect to appreciate the French Laundry when I was dragged there by a friend, but I was blown away by the place! The setting was very tranquil, the food was excellent, the service was stuffy / attitudy at times, but generally very good. One criticism - there is no bar, so for someone who doesn't drink alcohol, my only choice was non-alcoholic wine or water (as advised by the condescending Wine Waiter!)
Pros: Food, Setting
Cons: Stuff Service, No Bar
