The French Laundry, arguably (by most foodies) one of the finest restaurants in the world is a couple of blocks away.
I’ve eaten there, about 15 years ago. Blew me away. It was expensive. We had to wait months for a reservation. But it was totally worth it. Went with my wife and best friend. We swore we were going back asap. But prices kept soaring and last time I checked, I think they were twice what we paid. So sadly, we have not been back.
If anyone is thinking of going, my advice is... you only live once! Don’t deprive yourself of the experience. Yummy. And the wines perfectly matched the food. Better than I’ve ever experienced in any restaurant. We let them recommend the wines and they could’ve really reamed us. But I think somehow they could tell we were dining above our means, without us ever saying anything to them about it (maybe it was my coveralls and straw hat) and brought us three or four bottles (some splits, so were weren’t blasted out of our minds when we left) of mid-priced wines during the meal. Like I said, wonderful experience.
