Just Lots of Pictures.
Back in February (yes, we are really behind...), A and I went to Gary Danko for our 10 pm dinner reservation. It took all of our combined willpower to keep each other from raiding the refrigerator before we left for dinner.
So here's a collection of all the dishes we ordered. Unfortunately, it was so long ago that I lost my notes somewhere around here.
Foie Gras Mousse with Pine Nut Brittle
Seafood Risotto with a HEALTHY Dose of Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Cheese
Tuna Sashimi
Duck Confit
Fishy <*)Xx(
Persimmon Pudding <— blah! (Tastes like regular pumpkin pie with all the spices you've come to associate with Autumn.)
Coffee Napolean
Chocolate Souffle
Petit Fours
If you counted, you'd have realized that A and I got THREE desserts (not including petit fours). Resistance was futile. We surrendered to our desires and got the souffle after we saw waiter after waiter deliver the chocolatey airy dessert to table after table. We already ordered all of our dishes, desserts included and neither one of us was willing to give up our pick so we went ahead and got another. Our waiter was very kind to point out that souffle is mostly air anyways. :) Oh! And it was our favorite out of all the desserts, so I'm glad we caved in to our temptations.
I don't know if it was because it was the Friday before Valentine's Day or just the free-spirited vibe of San Francisco on display, but we saw the City Hall basking in warm red lights as we drove home at 1am in the morning with our stomaches fully stuffed and our hunger duly satiated.
