  • Great food, fine service.
  • Not helpful when they screw up.

“My husband and I have been to Gary Danko 3 times and loved each time. The food was great and the service exquisite and we wanted to dine there again. So why one star? Because their reservations girl royally screwed up the last time we planned to dine there and the staff was basically indifferent. Weeks before our anniversary, I called the restaurant to try to make a reservation. The only spot for 2 available was at 10 pm. Though that's pretty late, I accepted the spot because I was told by the reservations person that I could also be put on a waiting list and if anything earlier came up, they'd call us so we could change the reservation. We made hotel reservations in the city and waited expectantly. Finally our Saturday came and we dropped off our child and went off to the city. Fortunately, my husband wanted all to go perfectly and at 5:30 he called to confirm our reservation. Lo and behold we did not have a reservation but were only on the waiting list. I can't tell you how furious I was, and still am. We were told rather condescendingly that we should have received a confirmation number had we actually had a reservation! How are you supposed to know that!? Not every restaurant gives confirmation numbers for heaven's sake! We were offered the option of dining in the bar on a first come, first served basis or waiting until 10:30 pm and possibly getting a table at that time. I'm sorry but 10:30 is a ridiculous time to sit down to dinner and the bar option was the same as not making reservations at all. All the hostess could say was "Sorry" but they made no effort to fix this screw up. We've decided Gary Danko has gotten way too full of itself. There are plenty of other restaurants in the city. Cityscape has a far better view and the service was wonderful. If you decide to try Gary Danko, either make sure they give you a confirmation number or keep a phone book nearby so you can find somewhere less pretentious to eat.”

  • loved the selection of cheeses, variety of meats and fowl and the pineapple breakfast cake was a lovely addition.
  • I would recommend that the addition of a larger variety of bread be available with aoilis or spreads.

“I have waited for 2 years to dine at Gary Danko. I was very impressed. The service was excellent and our server was most helpful in the choices we made based on out likings. The Foie Gras was excellent and some of the best I have ever eaten. The artisan cheeses were very flavorful. It was an impressive evening. The presentation was lovely and we will certainly be back. I found it to be very reasonably priced for what was included.”
