    My husband and I look forward to dining at Gary Danko for special occasions. We dined on Saturday Feb 15th (early dinner).This was our 4th time and every time the food is fantastic (best in the city) and the service is exceptional! What a great dining experience each time we have been there. On the menu, my favorite is the risotto. My husband favorite is the ahi tuna. As far as cocktails go, the espresso martini is a must have. So kudos to the hostess, bartender, and waiters! You are all 5 stars!

    The food was fantastic! The service was fine, but I was disappointed that there was no room for customization, which led me to choose a different dish than I originally wanted. Not ideal, but the food was still very good.

    The restaurant was amazing! It was beautiful for Valentine’s Day dinner date. The view of the bridge was a special treat! Our servers were very attentive and we let them know we had a time constraint but they never made us feel rushed. They just ensured everything came out in time and we were done on time. The food was excellent!

    Great food. A little pricey but worth it. Loved the decadent Salmon en Croute. Friendly staff. Maybe a little understaffed so service a little bit slow. Pretty decor. Parking lot no longer available to restaurant customers unfortunately due to being owned(?) by MTA. So had to park in street which was a bit challenging.
