- GgraceVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoMy husband and I look forward to dining at Gary Danko for special occasions. We dined on Saturday Feb 15th (early dinner).This was our 4th time and every time the food is fantastic (best in the city) and the service is exceptional! What a great dining experience each time we have been there. On the menu, my favorite is the risotto. My husband favorite is the ahi tuna. As far as cocktails go, the espresso martini is a must have. So kudos to the hostess, bartender, and waiters! You are all 5 stars!More infoGary DankoPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary French / American• Fisherman's Wharf•4.8
- JJUDITHVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe had a wonderful birthday celebration here--the food, including the housemade pasta, pizza and antipasti, was delicious, the waiter was warm, attentive and helpful and the atmosphere was relaxed and cozy. We already know that we will be returning many times in the future--by far the best Italian meal we've enjoyed in Berkeley.More infoPassione EmporioPrice: Expensive• Italian• Berkeley•4.5
- NNancyVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •11 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoAs usual Marzano's is a comfy, neighbor restaurant to go. We had an excellent time, the food came out quickly and because it was so good we ate much faster than planned. We actually didn't feel rushed, so if you are looking for a great neighborhood restaurant this is the one to visit.More infoMarzanoPrice: Moderate• Italian• Oakland•4.8

We had great wine and shareables — calamari, kale salad, fried chicken sliders and roasted brussel spouts. Everything was delicious! We had a really delightful waitress and were greeted nicely when we entered. Would definitely do a repeat visit!More infoThe HarlequinPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• SOMA•4.4
