Rarified indeed. Have not eaten at the French Laundry (we were just discussing it this evening with my in-laws you have been there three times), but have at:
Gaddi's--Very nice lunch, excellent food and service. Would surely go back.
Petrus--Great dinner, excellent wine, great view. Would probably go back
La Pergola--Good food but astoundingly expensive. Would not go back.
