Saves & bookings on Pearl
Michelin three stars and French-Californian fine dining
Michelin gave The French Laundry three stars in 2024, 2025, and 2026. French-Californian fine dining here means a contemporary French frame for a dinner planned as an extended experience.
Wine Spectator Grand Award and sommelier-led wine
Wine Spectator gave its Grand Award in 2025 and 2026, while Star Wine List recognized the restaurant in 2026. A sommelier-led extensive wine list makes wine a central part of the meal plan.
Oysters and Pearls at 6640 Washington St
Oysters and Pearls and Smoked Salmon Cornets anchor the signature dish set. The Yountville address, garden outlook, farm-to-table sourcing, local sourcing, formal service, and quiet room suit a deliberate dinner rather than a casual drop-in.
