Gary Danko – San Francisco, CA
Located near Fisherman’s Wharf, chef Gary Danko’s namesake restaurant uses the region’s accessibility to the finest in produce, wine, and seafood to produce dishes with sophistication and glamour. From the modern art on the walls, the pin spots highlighting your meal, to the glass showcase housing the cheeses, it’s clear that this is a theater as much as it is a restaurant; with a waitstaff that manages to anticipate every need without hovering or interfering. Order Danko’s signature dish of roast Maine lobster, and try such twists-on-classics as their house-cured duck prosciutto. The dessert menu is prodigious, offering bananas with crepes, flambéed tableside. For extra drama, teais presented, selected, and served according to traditional Asian custom.
