Famous Restaurants

If you aren't able to get a reservation on your own, try working with your hotel's concierge (the nicer the hotel, the better the chance!)

Making a reservation at the French Laundry may be one of the most difficult things you will ever do. Well, not really, but it cetainly isn't easy! You must call exactly 60 days prior to your desired dining date. And you will probably have to try several times before the line is not busy/answered. My suggestion is to start calling 60 days before your first night in Napa Valley. I was staying for four nights the trip when we dined at French Laundry. I called every day and was told they were completely booked. Until the fourth day, when I was told I could be put on the waiting list. It was better than nothing. And it turned out to be the in-ticket when I called from the rental car on the way up to Napa Valley and was told we were in!

Words cannot describe the experience of dining at the French Laundry... :)

Loved the first half of our anniversary dinner at L'Auberge - then it started to rain. Being outside by the creek was wonderful. So romantic, peaceful and beautiful. The wine and food were perfect until the drops started coming down. We were rushed inside with all the other diners and felt a little lost in the shuffle. The restaurant and staff are wonderful but I would recommend holding out for a dry evening.

L’Auberge's restaurant on the creek is a really great location. While not cheap, it do get a great meal with great scenery and it's a lot cooler down by the creek then else in Sedona.

Dining at L'Auberge was a wonderful experience. The creekside setting is gorgeous and the food was great. The service was good, not great - but I think that had more to do with our server than the norm.
