Went to Trestle for a long overdue date night. It was perfect! I was able to get a same day reservation. The neighborhood was lit up and romantic. The service was attentive without being overbearing. The food was excellent (beet carpaccio, seared trout, coconut panna cotta). I was worried that the portions were on the small side, but I left super satisfied. Fine dining at less than $50/per person in San Francisco is a steal! I will be back.

We always try to eat at Gary Danko when we are in town (from Hawaii) for special holidays in this case Christmas Eve. So grateful they were open and able to accommodate us. This is always our go to place because our daughter in law is gluten intolerant and they always graciously accommodate her (even to the point of having gluten free bread). Many restaurants will not accommodate because of possible cross contamination, but Gary Danko always welcomes us. We love the selections of courses and look forward to the muffin they give for breakfast the following morning. The only criticism I have is that there is no valet parking - so we take taxi/uber weather can be severe. You have to try this and you will keep coming back!
