    We went for a late Valentine’s Day dinner on Saturday. We each had a glass of wine that was delicious. The food was excellent. We had four different courses. Each was expertly prepared and the flavors were unique. We would highly recommend this dining and wine experience.

    My husband and I look forward to dining at Gary Danko for special occasions. We dined on Saturday Feb 15th (early dinner).This was our 4th time and every time the food is fantastic (best in the city) and the service is exceptional! What a great dining experience each time we have been there. On the menu, my favorite is the risotto. My husband favorite is the ahi tuna. As far as cocktails go, the espresso martini is a must have. So kudos to the hostess, bartender, and waiters! You are all 5 stars!

    The restaurant was amazing! It was beautiful for Valentine’s Day dinner date. The view of the bridge was a special treat! Our servers were very attentive and we let them know we had a time constraint but they never made us feel rushed. They just ensured everything came out in time and we were done on time. The food was excellent!

    This was our second time at Commis we sat the bar and had the pre fix with wine pairing! It was amazingly delicious and the service as always was excellent. We enjoyed trying the new items on the menu and some old favorites. If you are looking for a unique dinning experience look no further.
