My Dinner At Gary Danko

Over the past month, I have been to many restaurants including Vivace and Lolo’s. However, the restaurant that stood out the most was Gary Danko. Hidden in a small neighborhood of San Francisco, this place was more than fancy. It had chandeliers raining down light, and the ambience was a dark gloomy (in a good way) vibe. The waiter proceeded to seat us at a corner table and immediately gave us some avocado and asparagus soup. Not liking either, I reluctantly ate them and ordered my steak. Not very sure of the cut, I assumed it was large so I worked up an appetite by having a hearty discussion with my family. After some time, the food arrived and I saw my steak glimmering under the chandelier; it was to die for. They told me it came with gravy and mashed potatoes, which I couldn't say no to. The first bite filled my mouth with a party. The mashed potatoes were so smooth I thought it was whipped cream. The gravy on the other hand had a unique tanginess which honestly added some flavor to the overall meal. My brother ordered risotto along with my parents who each ordered a 3-course meal! We devoured our food and dessert was the star of the show. Chocolate souffle was special in the house so we had to try it. It was as fluffy as a pillow and the waiter filled it with white chocolate sauce and Belgian dark chocolate sauce. My stomach was filled over the 3 hour dinner and before we headed home, the waiter gave us each a fruit cake to remember our dinner the next morning. How nice!
