We’ve been planning this for a year now. Just tried to get a reservation for 4 at 6:00 P.M. on July 16th, 2013 but no luck. Tried thru Open Table right at midnight on May 16th and no luck. Appreciate it if someone has any tips to get this reservation for us. We will call the reservation line at 10:00a.m. and hope for the best.

Really hoping to get French Laundry reservation for June 25th….obviously can’t book until 25th April.
Does any one have any tips for booking online?
I’m keen to know if the date goes live at 12:01 Pacific Time or 10am – ie the same time as when the phone line opens? Anyone know?

I’ve dreamed about the French Laundry, but I live on the other side of the country, and it’s far too expensive for my wallet. I have been to Keller’s Bouchon bakery though, and it was phenomenal. I’m so glad to hear you had a great time!

So how did your situation turn out? Hope it went well. We have a similar situation also. We booked a table for four so we need two other dining companions for lunch on March 3. Does French Laundry forfeit your reservation when fewer than the number of guests arrive? Do they charge a cancellation fee on top of the forfeiture?

Any nice, foodie couples out there want to join us for lunch on Feb 22, 2013? We tried calling and they will not let us change the reservation to 2 people. My boyfriend is hypervenilating at the thought of having to cancel…Email is above. We are a mid-30′s professional couple from the midwest. (This just sounded perverted but I swear it’s just lunch!) HA. kwitte109 @ yahoo.com

I’ve heard that you can also request a tour.

I’m new here and I’m writing to ask for your help. I’m from brazil and I moved to USA last year. Since then my brother in law and my sister have made everything they can for me. Next month it’s gonna be his birthday and I’d like to make reservations for the French laundry for them. I tried by phone but the best that I get was the waiting list. I read that sometimes there are people in your blog offering reservations. Can you help me? Or Do you know anyone that could help me? My email is luciana8267@gmail.com
Thanks!! And congratulations for your blog!!
Lucy
