Description

One of San Francisco's most famous and honored restaurants, named after its award-winning chef-owner, Gary Danko offers prix-fixe meals from its long and tempting seasonally changing menu of French and new American cuisine. There are appetizers, fish and seafood dishes, meat and game birds, an amazing cheese cart, and desserts at this Fisherman's Wharf restaurant. Choose whether you want three, four, or five courses, as many as you like from each category, and they'll size them appropriately (you could try three starters and then a cheese course, if you so desired). Everything will be exquisitely prepared and served, in a charmingly formal (but not lugubrious) setting. There's an impressive wine and spirits list that suits the food. And, though by no means cheap, the tariff seems reasonable for what you're receiving.

  • 2000 | Best Restaurant

    You sit down at the tiny bar, slightly disappointed that the surroundings aren't as elegant as they were at Chef Danko's last showcase, the Dining Room. Then you get into the lively, friendly rhythm of the place and you realize that although it may not be as finely appointed as, say, the Fifth Floor, Restaurant Gary Danko is more fun. Once you're seated, an amuse-bouche of silky asparagus-basil soup with morsels of lobster is offered for consumption, after which the affably elegant maitre... More »
