Is the French Laundry worth it?

We were fortunate enough to be invited to join some good friends for lunch at the French Laundry this past Saturday - the 9 course prix fixe is $240, service included. I also sprung for the foie gras upgrade for an additional $30.







The meal was just sublime. All but one of the courses was out of this world - the one course was good, just not transcendental. And I inquired about the fact that "coffee and donuts" was missing from the menu, and they served it to us (all four of us) at no additional charge. Plus the price included tea/coffee and bottled water.

I say it's well worth it - of course, I didn't have to invest the time in obtaining the reservations, so I got off lucky! Get your reservations now!
