Courtyard Vs dining room? New to this fine dining scene, my wife and I were able to get a reservation this morning for the courtyard area on May 29th, what is the main difference between the dining room and the courtyard? I know one is outdoors but why the price increase to sit outside? Ask the Yelp Forum About The French Laundry What is the difference between dining room vs courtyard dining reservations as price is $350 vs $450? Is it just location difference? Thanks. Stepping into the courtyard, you receive your first glimpse into the iconic kitchen and the extraordinary outside dining environments.
It is your first opportunity to truly feel "I'm really here." We were almost immediately jolted out of this pleasure by the hostess, who came out of the building with a curt "what name is on the reservation?". The French Laundry's new courtyard-the result of a three-year renovation that saw the Yountville, California restaurant completely overhaul its entire interior and exterior. We sat in the courtyard, relaxed, and took a few minutes to walk around and watch the kitchen work (there is a large window from the courtyard).
Right on time, we were ushered into the main dining room and shown to our table. The Tasting Experience at French Laundry. Located in Yountville, California, The French Laundry balances modernity and historical elegance to create a French fine dining experience.
Reservations are available for multiple dining options. These include the main dining room, the Board room, the Courtyard dining room, the Private dining room, or the Bay Laurel Tree Table. At the time of booking, choose to have your meal in the dining room, the board room (a private dining space for eight to 12) or the courtyard (outdoors across from the restaurant's culinary garden).
The French Laundry isn't just a meal-it's an experience. From the flawless service to the beautifully plated nine-course tasting menu, every detail felt intentional and special. California's The French Laundry is a legendary fine dining establishment.
We tell you everything you need to know about this world. We are open for dinner service seven days a week. Our private outdoor courtyard is open from May thru September, weather permitting.
