Jun 13, 2007 - yeah but this is not family style cookin'...and this is about appreciating what you are eating, eventhough it's a small portion, you shouldn't shove it down your through... you enjoy every morsel :)

Jul 16, 2007 - When you're not back there it's anything BUT calm and quiet. Quite the opposite. Think 'Hell's Kitchen', but worse. The quietness is for show--it's only when people go back to "visit."

Jul 21, 2007 - It's true, the restaurant is anything but smooth sailing all the time. I worked there for 7 months as the barista and it got crazy sometimes and corey lee is a little crazy dude.

Jul 31, 2007 - I know the short cook in the back far right. that kitchen is nothing like hell's kitchen, hell's kitchen is a bunch of monkeys flippin out. these guys are pro, there is no need to be loud, you work smooth and efficient.

Jul 12, 2008 - i wonder...why pay lots of £££.. when people touch with their dirty hands ur food?..

grover5959 Says:

Jul 19, 2008 - You're a douchbag. How else are they going to make the food look that good? BBQ fucking tongs?? I don't think so!

ronroger26 Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - how about u shut the f up

writofmandamus Says:

Aug 11, 2008 - 2 things: For a restaurant of this caliber I would expect that they would be a wearing a chef's hat or bouffant of some sort, and also that either they talked less or have something cover their mouths as they prepare the food.

Garunnu Says:

Aug 28, 2008 - actually not a lot of chefs wear hats anymore. yes it's something we're learned and myself i wear a hat at all times while cooking.

Sep 4, 2008 - I don't see Chef getting abusive, like Gordon Ramsey does

4evermmalz Says:

Sep 20, 2008 - omg, charlie trotters doesn't allow talking? how do you keep the lines of communication open (example: last minute changes in menu) ?this is a remarkably calm kitchen. the place i work at and am soon leaving, is like a boxing ring only there are 8 boxers and a psycho owner all yelling at once.

aanraku Says:

Sep 27, 2008 - We dined with a party of ten in Sept. 2006 and 2007. At our 2007 seating they forgot the promised birthday cake and 5 of the 9 dishes were the same as the previous year. When we emailed and asked them to vary the menu, Thomas Keller called us personally and said, "If you don't like what I serve, don't come." We cancelled and will now dine at Gary Danko's in S.F., a much better restaurant. French Laundry is SO not worth what they charge you.

QingTien Says:

Oct 15, 2008 - ...can you just get a tour by asking o.o?

sicayan001 Says:

Nov 6, 2008 - @ aanraku - did you ask if they would sing happy birthday? i can't believe you asked keller to change his menu. unreal.

sicayan001 Says:

Nov 6, 2008 - the reason portions are smaller for tasting, if you can eat 9 completely loaded plates of food, your not eating to appreciate it.if you have not had a good tasting experience you should really get out and try it, restaurants that know what there doing will leave you in heaven with correct pairings

sicayan001 Says:

Nov 6, 2008 - there are hand washing permits given to such restaurants that require the use of hands for plating, you are required to wash your hands more often and are recorded each and everytime your hands are washed. please go away
