    I’m a repeat customer. We go to Gary Danko for special occasions because it’s delicious and not stuffy. Last night we were disappointed. The food was just okay. It is too expensive to be mediocre. Will not come back.

    Amazing seafood risotto! Service is impeccable and the decor transports you to an another world. Pricey and too easy to keep eating. Will be back for more.

    They are a team. That's why JC, Aaron, Bobby, Michael, and all those whose names need mentioning, are so passionate. Standouts were the Anglianico, the 2nd triple cream cheese, and the beef. Carry on, my friends!

    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.

    It was an outstanding experience at Gary Danko for our dinner! The staff was welcoming, professional, and helpful. The food was amazing: the chefs reached the perfect bliss point of all the flavor combinations and textures. It was a real pleasure! Special thanks to the bartender who did an amazing job crafting our cocktails. Another special thanks to Aaron who made a special trip to my house to deliver the bag with the desserts that we left at the bar rushing to get our Lyft. It was an amazing evening and we highly recommend Gary Danko. Thank you!

    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.
