    Gary Danko continues to shine after more than 25 years in business! The service is so elevated, it is like no other restaurant in San Francisco. The menu is broad and it’s difficult to choose between options, but everything you order will be simply amazing! We ordered the lobster salad, seafood risotto, lamb loin and filet of beef. Each course was beautifully presented and sumptuously prepared. We found room in our appetites for the cheese board(don’t miss this!) and profiteroles and sorbet trio. It was all mouthwatering. They have an extensive wine list and we are connoisseur of wine, but ordered two wines we have never had before and they were fantastic. Because it was our anniversary we were also treated with an additional complementary mini deserts, each a burst of flavor. Every diner also got a very nice surprise to take home and enjoy the next day and we surely did ! Gary Danko restaurant staff ,you are incredible and we can’t wait to return again .

    Well… it was a superb evening celebrating the birthdays of two wonderful friends. It was so pleased to see a number of new preparations on the menu. Maybe the best menu I have experienced in the 25 years of regularly dining there. The attention to detail is simply sundry. 😊

    Our party of four had a great experience at Gary Danko. Most dishes impressed, and the soufflé was the perfect finale. The only minor flaw was an overly salty side. Overall, a wonderful evening!

    Amazing service, great gourmet selections, intimate atmosphere. No classic valet parking - but the staff helps to find a solution - literally goes out of their way to help.
