A world-famous Napa Valley restaurant favored by Gov.
Gavin Newsom is facing labor complaints after former employees accused it of wage violations, missed breaks, and off-the-clock work.
The French Laundry, a three-Michelin-star restaurant in Yountville, is now facing three labor lawsuits filed in Napa County Superior Court between March and June, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The complaints say workers were not paid correctly, were denied required meal and rest breaks, received inaccurate wage statements, and had to work off the clock.
The newest case was filed on June 1 by Tiffany Hogue, who says she worked at the French Laundry as a kitchen server from January to May 2025.
Hogue also says employees often worked more than 10 hours without a second meal break and that once service started, meal and rest breaks were unavailable.
“Our client treats all employees lawfully and in full compliance with all applicable California employment laws and we intend to vigorously defend against these allegations,” the representative said.
All three cases were brought under California’s Private Attorneys General Act, or PAGA, which allows workers to seek civil penalties on behalf of the state for alleged labor violations.
In an email cited by the Napa Valley Register, a representative for Thomas Keller Restaurant Group denied the allegations.
A case management conference for Hogue’s case is set for Nov. 10, according to Napa County court records.
