Myself and my husband made reservations for this restaurant while on honeymoon in San Francisco. It was the most amazing meal of our 3 weeks away! The food was really beautiful and the service was unparalleled. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and would highly recommend this restaurant.

A while ago, I watched a film documentary about Jiro Ono a famous 85 years old chef, he was talking about rice sushi and he said:" If you don't know how to cook rice, don't cook it!" I had the same thought when I went to this restaurant. As a rule I never eat italian recipes, but unfortunately. the"new californian... More

Last stop of our honeymoon, we decided to have a dinner at Gary Danko for the exceptional reviews of Tripadvisor. One of the best food experience of our life, I will never forget the exceptional rice with lobster.

Fancy food in a fancy room. This is a place to splurge and treat yourself to something special. I had three courses and they were all great. Nice soup, great salad and the main course was good too. Desert was a real treat.

Gary Danko is among the best that we have tried. The room was a bit noisy. The wine list very good but pricey; even for a one star. Service was highly attentive. On the... More

Gary Danko does not disappoint! The dinner lived up to all the hype. Very extensive menu will please any diner. You can design your own meal -- number of courses, types of courses, etc. Fabulous!

It was my first time at Gary Danko and if I lived in San Francisco I would have already been back. What an amazing experience. We had a reservation made and when we arrived we were immediately seated at a corner table that was very intimate and comfortable. I asked our server to recommend what I should eat and he... More
