Recommended by over 90% of our reviewers, we wonder how many of them popped the cork on a bottle of Champagne while they were celebrating a birthday, anniversary or some other important occasion at this Fisherman’s Wharf restaurant. A quick look at the menu and you can understand why: With dishes like glazed oysters with Osetra caviar and lettuce cream, risotto with lobster, rock shrimp, Shimeji mushrooms and asparagus, and quail stuffed with foie gras, Danko’s menu is swimming in the type of luxury ingredients that diners like to enjoy on special occasions. And that’s before you get to the “spectacular wine list” (which is lorded over by a knowledgeable wine service staff), the “wonderful cheese cart” and flaming desserts that are prepared table side.
