The 10 tastes was new to us - it was a 5 course menu, but they brought different items for each of us. Honestly, by about the 4th course, we were a little overwhelmed, but we managed to soldier on to dessert. Unfortunately, I had my little camera with me and the photos did not turn out that great, but each plate was a marvel to look at and enjoy. yes, getting away from the kids is a great idea!

It was on the list of things to do before kids arrived :-). I remember being 8 months pregnant. The best part of the meal was that I never felt full, just completely satisfied!

We were going to try it on our last visit, but my husband has a couple food allergies/dislikes, and we thought it might be too risky. I will see if I can talk him into it next time! funny you mention Ad Hoc.

In fact, our daughter's middle name could have been Yountville if you get my drift. (OMG, TMI, would be my 16yo reply if she read this post.) Next time you are there, check out Thomas Keller's Ad hoc. It's a family style restaurant and much more affordable than the French Laundry. Nancy D.
