What it's like to eat at the best restaurant in California, where a meal will cost you $310 a person

Since its opening in 1994, chef Thomas Keller's iconic Napa Valley restaurant, The French Laundry, has drawn attention for its stunning presentation, fresh ingredients, and culinary innovation.

It's been called "the best restaurant in the world" by Anthony Bourdain, and recently ranked as the number-one restaurant in California on our 50 best restaurants in America list.
