I've been to a few mitchelin star ? restaurants, a lot of them serve good food, but this one has the best service, the service... is at a different tier. The food itself is really good, me and my bf came here for his birthday celebration, we ordered a 4course + a 5 course. He's vegetarian and we both enjoyed the dishes and the drinks. They also prepared a small cake for himwhich is very nice Read more
Really a truly memorable experience. Andrew and Israel were especially attentive. Israel's expertise in the cheese course... alone was a special treat. The food was exquisite -from first to last course - and the ambiance and service made for a wonderfulanniversary memory. Cheers to Gary Danko and the staff of professionals who make an evening like this possible. We will alwayskeep this place on our list of must returns! Read more
We had an overall good experience at Gary Danko. The best part was the service. Attentive, personable, and versed in... etiquette. We each selected four courses. I had the salmon, tuna, branzini, and duck. I could not get enough of the branziniand the salmon, just wonderful combinations of flavors. The tuna was cooked well, for someone who doesn't eat tuna, this was anice change to my tuna perception. The duck, however, was not good at all. It just had a weird taste to me, but worse is thatit made my partner feel sick. Definitely would have expected better from a 1-Star Michelin restaurant in that regard. Finally,the little dessert tasting plate was really nice because we got to experience the different flavors. Cocktails were deliciousas well. The complimentary to-go wrapped dessert was dry to be honest. Three stars for the service, three of the courses, andthe dessert tasting plate. It was good overall, but we would likely not return.

Musy-try: scallop risotto, souffle Highlight: Free selection of courses and professional service. The price of your meal is... decided by the number of courses you order. You can make any combination. My friend orders the tasting menu and I choose the 3courses if risotto, duck brest, and souffle. We did not make reservation and came before 9 p.m . Luckily we got seated and spenta wonderful night with Gary Danko. Everyone dressed formly so we were worried if there is a dress code here. The waiter smiledand told us that our comfortableness is their goal of service. It is really sweet. The kitchen provides us a free soup at thebeginning and a muffin upon leaving. I am not a muffin person but this one is quite soft and I like it. Love the risotto. Iwent to fog harbor at noon for the scallop risotto and I enjoyed that. The risotto at Gary Danko is even much better. Pleasetake a try. The main course is delicious but not fantastic. They did not ask about the well doneness. There is very few partsrequire some effort to bite. There are two kinds of souffle desserts: chocolate and raspberry. I am not a fan of chocolate andraspberry is a bit sour for me. I hope they can some other options. I chose the raspberry souffle at the end. It is very softand satisfying taste. If would be great if there is a sweeter version. Worth a try. Read more
Celebrated my birthday here! We had the lovely bartender Dee who greeted us at the bar and made us a Last word and a Junglebird... cocktail. Both were delightful. Then we got seated and served by Peter who was phenomenal! Our courses were spaced out well andthe wine pairings that Peter had for us were superb. We felt the experience was quite honestly better than the food. Our courseswere definitely not bad, but we felt there was a slight lack of detail to flavor (the filet course was overly salty and thedessert course was probably the least favorite). At the end of the evening, we were given a breakfast cake (which we ate thenext morning and were in AWE!) Last but not least, we talked with the wonderful Greg who is the General manager. Quite genuineand lovely to talk to! All these people mentioned made our experience memorable and fun! We definitely are grateful for thelovely dinner! Thank you! Read more
My friend and I came to visit SF on a food trip and Gary dankos was our last stop. It did not disappoint. The food was... transcending. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and the chefs are super talented. Worth every cent. I also have somefood restrictions and they were able to accommodate. I have had restaurants turn me away so it made me feel so welcome that theywere willing to accommodate. I will be back with my husband next year! Thank you again! Read more
