Gary Danko

One of my favorite restaurants now ✨ Thanks to Vincent for outstanding service! Oh we loved the food! We tried six different dishes and all were tasty and well-presented. Love the menu customization possibility. It makes me happy to visit a fine dining restaurant where you get to choose dishes you eat, and the size of the menu (I usually have to leave half otherwise). Cozy, intimate atmosphere. Perfect for a date ❤️ revisit? Yes!

Recently, I had a dinner with my spouse at Gar Danko. The appointment was at 10. I thought they would be closing down as their shop closing time is 10. They said we are okay to eat until 12 a.m. But we had to place all our courses upfront, which is kind of not convenient. Service-wise, it was great. All the servers were competent, helpful, and charming. They explained all the dishes and were constantly checking on us. There were multiple gift desserts to charm us. Coming to food, the menu looked great. But beware, vegetarians, there are literally three dishes you can choose from. I would say that the place is not vegetarian-friendly. We had like 1/10 options of vegetarian and non-veg options. They offered us coffee before dessert. The latte tasted really good, and I enjoyed it a lot. To

Our recent dinner at Gary Danko was unfortunately not at the level one would expect from a restaurant with such a long-standing reputation. While service began warmly and certain dishes were well prepared, the overall experience fell short in several key areas. Food: • The amuse bouche tasted stale, and the sourdough was underwhelming. • The scallops were well-seared and enjoyable, and the duck was the strongest dish of the evening. • My mom had the lobster risotto, which was pretty good, but the branzino felt dry to me (though she enjoyed it). • The biggest disappointment was the soufflé. Mine was slightly undercooked and my mom’s was noticeably more raw in the center. When she mentioned it, our server didn’t acknowledge anything was wrong and just kept asking if she wanted something els

We had a lovely anniversary dinner at Gary Danko. The service was wonderful and the team brought us some complimentary bites with happy anniversary spelled out on them. Some of the dishes such as the scallops were outstanding. Others were good but not fantastic. It seems as if they've made the decision to try to move more people through the restaurant on a nightly basis, which is probably why they can afford to serve top quality food at reasonable prices, but also probably the reason they do not have a Michelin star. The tables are very close together, in some cases requiring you to sit next to your partner instead of across the table from them. When the cheese cart is out, it is impossible to pass through the aisles near it. At our table, this resulted in many people squeezing up between

Gary Danko saved our anniversary dinner. On December 21st, San Francisco experienced a major power outage. We originally had a reservation at a different (Michelin two-star) restaurant, but they canceled on us just 40 minutes before our scheduled time due to having no power. We had traveled to SF specifically for the evening and booked a babysitter. I called around and managed to get a 5:30 pm reservation at Gary Danko. We had heard good things but had never been, and at that point, we were simply grateful to have a table anywhere. Despite traffic light outages causing us to arrive about 15 minutes late, the staff was incredibly accommodating. We were seated in a cozy loveseat booth, which turned out to be perfect. I don’t mind not sitting across from my spouse—especially since the five
