Twenty-five years after opening its doors in San Francisco’s iconic Fisherman’s Wharf neighborhood, Restaurant Gary Danko continues to refine its award-winning combination of classic French cooking, thoughtful and inventive use of local ingredients and personable yet impeccable service.

In a warm, enveloping space overhung with fresh flowers and vibrant artworks, an evening at Gary Danko is both intimate and theatrical—a loving nod to an old-world dining experience with its heart thoroughly planted in the new: fresh, locally grown and raised foods drawn from the region’s vast seasonal offerings, prepared with precision and flair.

Did not meet my expectations for the reputation. Although the food was good it wasn’t outstanding. Little pricey. The service was outstanding and staff were friendly.

After so many years where plans didn't work out, we were finally able to line up our first visit to Gary Danko. It was worth the wait as it was among the most memorable dining experiences of my life! The service was precise and well executed without being stuffy, and the dishes were all perfectly prepared, ample in quantity and delicious. The oyster and caviar appetizer may be the best item I've ever eaten, as it was full of rich and extravagant flavor. Beside the other delicious entrees and soufflé on the tasting menu, the cookies and pastry provided for the next day's breakfast was a touch of class. I can't wait to return!

Good food and great service. But an incredibly loud table next to us made it difficult to hear. Could the restaurant have done something? Not sure but it affected our experience.

One of the best, if not the best high end fine dining experiences in the Bay Area. Food was great of coarse but the service is what makes the experience well worth the $.
