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 food was a disappointment, and the final bill for the evening over $800.00. The next day we enjoyed a picnic on the grounds of a beautiful winery, with lovely bread, cheese, olives, and wine, that beat The French Laundry by a mile. Don't believe the hype.
