    To be fair, $370 is pretty reasonable for a magical, once-in-a-lifetime culinary experience of that standard. Happy Anniversary, guys!

    My wife and I went for our 25th anniversary and I can only say it boarders on a religious experience. Honestly we knew I was going to be great but it was so much more. The service is just spot on and they go that extra mile without you asking. You can’t complain about the cost as it is worth every penny.

    I enjoyed your video about the French Laundry. My husband has been the landscape designer at Carneros for the last six years. We have eaten and many restaurants in Napa; Yountsville and Sonoma. We love Mustards;Bouchon, Too many to name. And the French Laundry is an experience we have enjoyed a few times.

    My husband and I also had the pleasure of dining at the French Laundry back in the 90's , several times, what can I say, the food and presentation is beyond fabulous. I don't know if you ever review places on the east coast but if you do you must try the Inn at Little Washington it gives the French Laundry a run for the money I would have to say the food and presentation there is superb. It's in a tiny town in Virginia called Little Washington it's truly worth the trip. They also have beautiful guest rooms so there is no rush to return to reality. Happy Anniversary.

    Wow, what a fantastic experience! Happy Anniversary to both of you! 🍾🥂
    I really enjoy your hiking videos, but I also like other experiences… I enjoy a good meal, a good view! I feel it’s important to celebrate milestones in style, as a couple, be that big anniversaries or big birthdays. It’s ok to splurge big once in a while. 😃
    My husband and I went to Lake Louise (Canada) recently for our big birthdays. We stayed in the expensive Chateau, and enjoyed meals in 2 of the hotel restaurants. 5 years previous to that we celebrated in the Eiffel Tower. We’re over 70, can’t take it with us, right? I’m a retired ICU nurse and have been telling people for decades… don’t put things off. Do it now. I’m now living by my own words! We’re still hiking, still taking lots of photos!
    Yes, do surprise us with some non hiking stuff once in a while, you’re a great reporter! Thanks to your lovely wife for being part of the video! Both of you did a great job relating your experience! I hope you’ll have many more wonderful experiences together ahead of you!

    Fun fact this place is so good during COVID Gavin Newsom closed down other restaurants denied people on lockdown and went with his family and influential people to have himself a fine meal .

    • @craigcampbell1843
      @craigcampbell1843 ปีที่แล้ว +88

      Fun fact. The lockdowns in California were done on a county by county basis. Counties with the lowest numbers reopened faster than others. Counties with the highest numbers (typically the ones with the most people whining and refusing to follow the guidelines) ironically had to stay shut down the longest for public safety. This is why the French Laundry was allowed to be open while some other restaurants in the state were still closed. Because it is in a county full of people who took the guidelines seriously and got their numbers down quickly instead of just whining and pretending to be martyrs for being asked to do simple things that literally everyone in the world was being asked to do at that time like wearing masks in public. The only mistake the governor made was visiting the county and the restaurant with members of other households, which he apologized for later. If you’re criticizing the governor that must mean you were taking the guidelines seriously and refusing to socialize with members of other households. Thanks for caring about other people and not just yourself. I live in Fresno county. Half of this county just whined and refused to follow the guidelines. We could have reopened much sooner than we did but we wound up being one of the last counties in the state that got to reopen because of their ignorance and selfishness and recklessness. Not because of the governor.

      You forgot the part about where he was discouraging families from gathering during the holidays two hours before partying with his lobbyist friends here . Even he admitted it was a stupid move. No need to fall all over yourself defending him.

    • @craigcampbell1843
      @craigcampbell1843 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@user-gq2vn1xj2r if you’re responding to me, I wasn’t falling over myself defending him. I didn’t say what he did was ok. He did make mistakes and I’m sure you followed all the guidelines to a T. I was only pointing out that he didn’t just arbitrarily close some restaurants and open others like the original comment implied. It was based on numbers by county. He was not to blame for some restaurants being open and some being closed. The people in those counties who wouldn’t follow the guidelines for public safety were to blame for that. You know. The same people who say personal responsibility is so important and then just blame other people for everything when they don’t get their way. The same people who act like they were being treated unfairly when all the rest of the world was being asked to do the same things. The people who just whined about the guidelines and refused to follow them were to blame for those restaurants remaining closed. Not the governor. He just made the guidelines. It was up to all of us to choose whether we followed them or not. You can blame him all you want but he didn’t decide when certain counties should reopen and when they shouldn’t. The people in those counties decided and the ones who refused to follow the guidelines were the last to reopen. That’s just a fact. Not because Newsom didn’t like them but because their numbers of cases were still too high. Because they were being a bunch of babies instead of just following the restrictions like the rest of the state and caring about others instead of just themselves. If they had been willing to act like adults about it instead of throwing temper tantrums their counties would have been open too.

      ​@@craigcampbell1843so the least populated counties opened first? Following "guidelines" did nothing hence why Newsome had a private business dinner here.

    I’m so happy for you and the great experience you had dining at a fancy pants restaurant. I remember my first time staying at Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur where European royalty and celebrities stay. The level of hospitality I experienced was incredible. When I returned they remembered who I was and arranged a falconry experience for my birthda then attended the Big Sur Food and Wine Festival at the resort. The best birthday ever.

      One reason is that there was only one entree item available - on that day it was lamb and I don't like lamb one bit. Why didn't I find out what the item of the day was? Because I was invited to the restaurant and had no input as to what was being served than night, Perhaps this single item menus might have been modified (I ate there in the eary 1990's). But, I have no reason to try this crapshoot again@@jimklemens5018

    Well at the end you said to ask "any" question we might have, so I have one but to be fair you would have to research it; at minute 8:47 in your video there are some plates with a print pattern of birds and brownish bamboo. I googled it but couldn't find out what pattern it is; googling French Laundry dishes only results in interesting all white dinner plates. Thank you for a great video; it is both informative, gives you a good feel for what it would be like to go, glad I found your channel.

I consider myself an amateur foodie, but could never justify spending this kind of money on single meal, regardless of the occasion. Maybe if I was multimillionaire, I would feel differently. I’m glad I was able to experience this through your eyes and not through my wallet. If I died tomorrow, this would not be one of my regrets of not eating at this establishment. I guess I’ll slum it over at the Atheneum at Cal Tech 😅

      It was a free meal! Do you think the restaurant would've allowed them to go all over the place with a camera on hand without a commercial deal?

    Nice vid. You know it's good when it makes me hungry and damn the prices. Happy Anniversary. Seriously, this is California and you can spend more and get less service. Thanks for sharing and look forward to your next vid. Cheers.

    Back then it was $500 for 2 but I couldn’t make for lunch so had to cancel. I still want to go and experience this. Thanks for the info ❤❤❤.

    Thanks for a very detailed video on The French Laundry. Personally, I think there were equally good restaurants in St. Helena. Unfortunately, Lissa Doumani and Hiro Sone's, TERRA Restaurant closed several years ago.

    How fun! That Neal looked amazing. That’s how I felt in Italy. I went to a Michelin star place in Milan. It was nice and fancy but your continence was above snd beyond. That’s amazing.

    I have driven past this restaurant so many times but knew it was expensive. Thank you for showing us what it is like on the inside. Happy Anniversary! Our Anniversary is also in October so now my husband is notified to save his money for our 40th in seven years. LOL!!! Also enjoyed the tips at the end as well. ❤

    The only thing I remember from dining there, about 10 years ago, was how nice and relaxed the waiters were. I don't mean to say that the food wasn't great, but I think that was expected.

    Firstly, a belated Happy Anniversary to you both! Secondly (and please don't take offense!) Amie was/is looking gorgeous!!! Thirdly, that looked an incredible experience......I'm more a burger and fries type, but those dishes looked like works of art!
