Gary Danko, Slanted Door, Bacar, Michael Mina
I know there has been discussion of Gary Danko here before (overrated?), but any opinions on it or the others? Assume that the firm is picking up the tab... And that at least some diners are not meat eaters (other than seafood).

I don't think Gary Danko is overrated, but they have stuck with the same menu for far too long.
Slanted Door is way too fashionable of late, and way too loud. If your clients are 30-something semi-hipsters, maybe. Otherwise, not.
Bacar I have not been too in ages, so can't help.
Michael Mina is very, very precious. That said, the food is good and it would probably be a good place to take clients. You can laugh at the waiters who talk about "Michael" and how "Michael conceives of this" and "Michael says that" as if they are repeating to you what Michael leaned down to whisper to them while they were blowing him in the kitchen.
