    This was my 3rd experience dining at Gary Danko and, just like my first 2 experiences, dinner was flawless! From the service to the food and ambiance, we had a superb time. I took my sister here to celebrate her 50th birthday. This was her 1st time dining here. Her experience was so extraordinary that she has already made the decision to return for her 20th wedding anniversary celebration in a couple of months. As always, thank you, Gary Danko, for a wonderful meal. Your food is fabulous and your staff is outstanding!

    Another flawless meal at Gary Danko. Lots of sharing went on at the table, and not a single bite was disappointing.

    Everything thing you could want in a fine dining restaurant. From the welcome to the waiters to the food it was all excellent. If you love cheese do not skip the cheese course. The variety is outstanding.

    Once again the Gary Danko experience rises above all other city restaurants. The service as always amazing, personable but precise. It was another well- choreographed evening at our table of five which meant we got to try almost everything. Hats off to the lemon pepper duck breast that left everyone at the table guessing! Was it dry aged? Sous vide? Roasted? Pan fried? It was soft and tender, but not mushy, while also firm without being tough. At the same time, the crunch from the toppings disguised the fact that the duck was skinless, something, until that point, that was unfathomable (at least to me)! The duck hash, topped it all off perfectly. If you order a dish with a sauce you’re guaranteed a memorable meal. Standouts included the coconut Thai shellfish curry with its buttery, rich and if it wasn’t such a fancy place, plate-licking sauce! Thank you to this exceptional team for always delivering a memorable experience.
