Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in Bayview

Went for my son’s birthday. Food was great and presentation was beautiful. Service was fabulous. I just wish we didn’t have to do a three course menu and could just order à la carte. It’s too much food for me and I felt like it was a waste of money. $125 for a three course Meal is on the pricey side, especially if you don’t eat a lot. Really miss that you don’t have valet parking anymore. That was kind of terrible, but I did fortunately look out and found a spot close to the restaurant. 

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!

A great tapas restaurant in downtown San Mateo. Superb service and friendly staff. Food is fresh and delicious. Highly recommend to everyone.

We had a wonderful meeting. Decorations for the holidays were a special touch. Emre, our waiter and other servers were outstanding. Bravo!

After the restaurant got the remodeled done , now we enjoy the ambiance there. I love the 65 pre fix menu that each of us have our favorites set dinner. The Choi Chou mussels and the sauce are very delicious and you must try . Crab salad has good amount of crab meat and the filet mignon are so tender and good quality meat plus a bottle of Pinot noir. It was perfect meal for my family last night .
