Dined here for lunch with friends, on an absolutely gorgeous day. Breathtaking views of Napa Valley. Sat outside...food was excellent!

This was our favorite dinner...setting on an outdoor patio is quaint, next to water but limited view of it. The outstanding memories are of phenomenal service and absolutely stellar food. Can't wait to return...and I'd probably want to eat here more than once when we return. A favorite!

Located in the picturesque town of Yountville (I want to move here!) We happened to dine out on the patio next to a large party...who were celebrating the birthday of Thomas Keller's fiancé. The food was amazing...every bite, the roses on the patio were beautiful, and the service was exceptional. Our waiter was professional, but also friendly and warm. After the celebration next to us ended, there was a really great bottle of wine left on the table, with some wine still in it. The waiter was clearing it, but yet we somehow ended up getting a little pour of the leftovers...a free tasting, maybe because we were one of the few people left before closing, and we had struck up a friendly conversation with the waiter...highlight of the night!
We weren't able to get a reservation at the French Laundry, but we spent a lot of time in the garden across the street...beautiful and inspiring. I recommend you take a stroll through the gardens and peek in on the chickens in their large coup. And gaze across the street at what is charming and inviting from the outside...from the perspective of someone who was dreaming of being on the inside. I REALLY wanted to be in there, experiencing it all...after watching Thomas Keller's master class (which yes, I have printed out and put in a binder.) We also rode bikes around Yountville...loved this. I lived on a small farm in Sonoma from 1982 - 1986...Sonoma High dragons, and Yountville has changed a lot since then, but it's quaint streets reminded me of those years in Sonoma, and the small town feel...and people congregating in the town square. Saw some property that I would love to purchase, if only...:-) Dreams!
