I moved from Baltimore to San Francisco in 2002, and I miss Gecko's so much. Even in the SF Bay Area, where there are 100's of amazing restaurants to choose from, I find myself craving Gecko's. Their margarita with Tobasco (sound gross? Its AMAZING) and their unbelieveable blackened shrimp Caesar salad with pinenuts and feta cheese are my absolute favorites. Great friendly staff, too. I'm so happy to see one of the places from my old 'hood doing well.
