Restaurant Gary Danko

Since 1999, James Beard Award winner Gary Danko’s restaurant has been a San Francisco institution. Serving contemporary American cuisine, the Fisherman’s Wharf establishment boasts a 75-seat dining room with light wood shutters, fresh flower arrangements, and white linens. Danko utilizes fresh ingredients on dishes like seared ahi tuna served with avocado, nori, enoki mushrooms, and lemon soy dressing, and herb-crusted loin of lamb with polenta. The chef’s tasting menu and three to five-course prix fixe options are the best ways to sample a range of dishes.
