    Gary Danko continues to shine after more than 25 years in business! The service is so elevated, it is like no other restaurant in San Francisco. The menu is broad and it’s difficult to choose between options, but everything you order will be simply amazing! We ordered the lobster salad, seafood risotto, lamb loin and filet of beef. Each course was beautifully presented and sumptuously prepared. We found room in our appetites for the cheese board(don’t miss this!) and profiteroles and sorbet trio. It was all mouthwatering. They have an extensive wine list and we are connoisseur of wine, but ordered two wines we have never had before and they were fantastic. Because it was our anniversary we were also treated with an additional complementary mini deserts, each a burst of flavor. Every diner also got a very nice surprise to take home and enjoy the next day and we surely did ! Gary Danko restaurant staff ,you are incredible and we can’t wait to return again .

    Dinning room seemed a little too crowded. Person at table next to one of us was too close. Service was good especially Constantinos. Notwithstanding that the restaurant was crowded and he was busy, he made us feel welcome and was responsive to questions and requests for minor changes in the menu. The asparagus risotto was especially good.

The Choi Chou mussels and the sauce are very delicious and you must try . Crab salad has good amount of crab meat and the filet mignon are so tender and good quality meat plus a bottle of Pinot noir. It was perfect meal for my family last night .
