Twenty-five years after opening its doors in San Francisco’s iconic Fisherman’s Wharf neighborhood, Restaurant Gary Danko continues to refine its award-winning combination of classic French cooking, thoughtful and inventive use of local ingredients and personable yet impeccable service.

In a warm, enveloping space overhung with fresh flowers and vibrant artworks, an evening at Gary Danko is both intimate and theatrical—a loving nod to an old-world dining experience with its heart thoroughly planted in the new: fresh, locally grown and raised foods drawn from the region’s vast seasonal offerings, prepared with precision and flair.

Don’t recommend for people with celiac / gluten intolerance. They were aware I needed to be gluten-free but I was nevertheless served courses with gluten, which I had to bring to their attention. The remedy was to give me a side plate to place the gluten-containing items on.

The food was its usual wonderful, with as much flexibility in the menu that you would ever need. Every course was outstanding. The service and extras were also outstanding. The extra special thing was how beautifully the restaurant was decorated for the holidays. A beautiful experience all around.

GD is not only one of San Francisco's best restaurants, it is one of the best values in the Bay area. You have the option of choosing a 3, 4 or 5 course meal for $122+, &150+ or $170+. And the portions are generous! The variety of appetizers, meat and seafood options is impressive. It's hard to select a favorite but you must try the risotto with lobster, the salmon and the duck breast... and finish the meal with souffle! Thank you, Gary Danko.

We had the most fabulous dinner. Best service ever. From the hostess greeting us and taking our coats cocktails were served immediately. Server was incredible and helped us with our choices. Somalia was very knowledgeable. Helped us select different wines that went with each course. We could not be happier with this place. It was our anniversary and brought us exquisite desserts. We had the chocolate soufflé which was amazing and the selection of cheeses was extensive. Some of the best cheeses ever we cannot say enough about this place.
