 Gary Danko thrives at its perch at the peak of San Francisco dining. Along with a classy but comfortable ambience, delightful food and a wine list with plenty of intriguing options among its 1,500-plus selections, the restaurant has what many consider the best service in the city. Tasteful modern art adorns the walls, and subdued brocade on banquettes and touches of light wood mesh in serene style. Diners may select three, four or five prix-fixe courses. To fully appreciate the experience, opt for the tasting menu with wine pairing since the captains are well versed in the all-encompassing list. To start, consider the seared ahi, enoki mushrooms, avocado, nori and lemon soy dressing, or potato-leek soup complemented by salmon-crab fritter and bacon. For seafood, one may opt for branzini paired with fennel purée and a saffron-orange emulsion while meat entrées might include lamb loin, herb-crusted, with a tian of vegetables and polenta. The cheese cart requires exploration; it's a shrine that epitomizes Danko's enthusiasm. Choose from the international artisan selections, or head straight to dessert. The tableside flambéed pineapple and crêpes filled with mascarpone, served with coconut sorbet, as well as the chocolate soufflé with two sauces are standouts.
