Masa's and Aqua are OK. service not great and I found Aqua very noisy.
French Laundry was very good. i thought the service was a little intrusive with too many people serving my table. the chocolates at the end, served on a slab of cold marble were awesome.
Gary Danko is not as innovative as French Laundry but the food is classic french with arguably the best foie gras in the US.
Service is friendly but reserved and not overbearing. The rooms are larger but I never find it noisy.
For larger groups they have a separate room that sits 8-10.
The price at Gary Danko is affordable while French Laundry at 400+ per person (when you include tax, tip, wine,drinks and the gas to get there from San Fran) is steep.

I have been told that the slanted door is very good, asian/vietnamese.
