This place is no.1 for a reason. Simply fantastic food and impeccable service. The price of the winelist (even fairly ordinary wines) will shock Europeans but wine was expensive everywhere we went in California. You won't leave this place disappointed though - a wonderful experience. It was such a nice start to our honeymoon. more

We entered G.D to a cheery host who treated us like royalty. Our waitress was knowledgeable and friendly. The food was unreal. The cheese plate was wonderful. The wine list lacks items below $75. The dessert was excellent. I could not have asked for more. more

We called for our reservation late, only a week or so ahead, and were told that although they were booked, they'd call back after reviewing the schedule. A short time later we were offered a table at the beginning of the requested evening... Our experience was enhanced by the warm manner of the staff on the phone and the engaging... more

I've heard so much about the great service at Gary Danko, but it was missing during our visit. Perhaps because we didn't order any alcohol? The menu's concept is interesting, and I enjoyed the flexibility of ordering from the various areas. However, the poor service ruined an expensive dining experience and we don't plan to return. more

You can't receive better service. The servers are so incredably accomodating. The unique thing about the restaurant is the allowance of ordering different courses in varying size. If you can't make up your mind between bison and quail, order both! They cut down the size so that you can taste both for the price of just one entree! If you... more

Gary Danko is where we go for anniversaries and other special occasions. While there are flashier and trendier gourmet restaurants, Gary Danko never fails to satisfy with classic gourmet food. It's predictable in a good way--you'll never leave wondering what you ate and it's served with the best service in town. more

We went to Gary Danko's on our fifth anniversary trip to San Francisco. I'm not a person who is comfortable in fancy restaurants, but I wanted to try the amazing food I had heard about, so I made a reservation. When we first got there, we had to wait quite a bit for our table. They never let us get... more

Gary Danko is one of my favorite restaurants in the US. The atmosphere is elegant but hip and unpretentious. The Pre Fixe menus are wonderful and a very good value especially if you mix and match with someone. I usually go for a salad and entre' and then for the 3rd course order the cheese plate(one of the best in... more

The service was great, the food even better than I imagined. I went with the beet and goat cheese salad, guinea hen, and Louisiana butter cake with peaches. All were smart choices, but I looked dreamily at the cheese cart and the chocolate souffles that sauntered by. more
