Join us for an unforgettable dining experience at The French Laundry in Napa, Chef Thomas Keller's world-renowned Three-Star Michelin restaurant. We had the privilege of trying the new "Evolution Menu" in the exclusive Board Room, which features a fusion of French and California cuisine with extravagant dishes aimed at reinvigorating the joy of dining out after the pandemic. From caviar to truffle, each dish is a masterpiece of culinary artistry that will leave you amazed. This is your chance to witness the epitome of luxury dining, and find out if it's truly worth the hype.

Thanks for the fantastic feedback! If only our editing skills (or our tolerance for the wine) were as fantastic as your comment! 😄

Looking back at it now, I realize that it was a truly unforgettable experience.

Very good point about price points and great food. If a persons only take away from an amazing dining experience is how much it costs.. you’ve missed the point of great food. Sure there are sadly very very expensive restaurants (Salt Baes for example) which are just out to rip you off. From what I can tell though Thomas Keller has always been about curating a dining experience which is extraordinary. Great video! Subscribed!

Thank you! Yes, many expensive restaurants are just. . .expensive. And, when you look at restaurant ratings, in certain areas they just rank the really expensive restaurants as the best. But the point of having good food and a good restaurant experience is the food and the experience. There are some amazing restaurants that are dirt cheap, but sadly, many do not give them the credit they deserve BECAUSE they are not expensive. Sometimes, an expensive restaurant can be fantastic (like The French Laundry). But one does not always equal the other. BTW, re: Keller's other restaurants, we like Bouchon, but have had mixed experiences at Ad Hoc.

Thank you. We got quite drunk that evening, but the food was fantastic and it was a great time.

A little late to the game but thank you for this video! My husband and I are hoping to get an early October reservation this year to celebrate my 50th - keep your fingers crossed for us! 🎉

Fingers crossed for that reservation! Just think of it this way: if you don’t get it, you can always celebrate with a spontaneous dance party at home!

You really should have champagne with the oysters and pearls.

We did.

@EpicureanRd. - Where to go, What to eat At 7 minutes into the video, you said you had a French sauvignon blanc with the oysters and pearls.

@@jimklemens5018 Ah, it's been awhile. We had a Champagne at the beginning of the evening, so we went with another wine with the oysters. They go well with a lot of wines, including a nice Chablis or Sancerre. Or a Portuguese Vinho Verde or Italian Prosecco. As well as Champagne.

@EpicureanRd. - Where to go, What to eat I have probably drank more Salon champagne (hundreds of bottles of 1985 and 1988) than anyone on the planet and I can assure you that it goes perfectly with the oysters and pearls.

Don’t worry, I know the feeling, whether it’s wine pairings or BYOB, if we’re going fine dining, it’s pretty much guaranteed that me and my friends will end the evening utterly smashed while still trying our best to look somewhat “sophisticated” for the waiters and the chefs😂 See, we’ve set ourselves a mission to eat our way through the entire California Michelin Guide and we’re going strong through SoCal at the moment. Wish our livers luck😂 Anyways, great video, I’m glad you guys had a nice time😉

Good luck to your livers! 😉Actually, I (Steve) don't usually get to get this drunk, because I'm usually driving. But this night, Helen got us all rooms walkable to the restaurant, so it was no holds barred! My kind of dinner!

@@steveandyoung I completely understand, when in Rome!!! This August me and one friend are going to Providence, a 2-Star in Hollywood, and I’m bringing along a classic Krug Grande Cuvée, the 171, as well as a rather rare 2017 “Le Bourg” from Clos Rougeard I managed to find in my local shop. Pair that with cocktails and dessert wines and I’m guessing we’re Uber-ing back😂 I mean, I’m like you, I don’t usually get that way even though I love food and love to go out to eat, but sometimes it’s nice to just let loose with some good food and good wine and sit down at a table and not get up until the bottles are empty and the restaurant is closed! Like you said, my kind of dinner😉👍🤩

Great video log! We were lucky enough to enjoy FL once a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Living vicariously through your logs! Love your HI and No CA logs as they are our base. Keep it up! Also, your So CA logs are great as we visit often!

Thank you so much. We try to keep it interesting and informative. But, we thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we just had to share.

Unfortunately, I don't remember. It was good, though. I preferred the Montrachet later in the evening.

Thank you. We were a little worried about the quality, since we were so drunk at the end. I had not been that drunk in 30 years.

Wasting money is having so much food that you’re stuffed, so much wine that you’re drunk and can’t even enjoy the food anymore, too much rich food and judging from that menu and those wines this was way over $1000 per person. Having half that food and half that wine split into two different meals would be a better experience. I mean I love chocolate mousse and cheesecake, but I’m not gonna have both of them at once. That’s kinda like this lol😅

This was a celebration of a situation where we helped her to get a lot of money. She was showing her appreciation with this bacchanalian feast. So, a little overindulgence was appropriate in this instance.
