The feng shui of this place is awesome.

I have seen live music shows here and it just works well. The place feels full because it has nooks and cranies but the large space isn't palatial, but big

I have also been to corp events here like for GDC, tech meet-ups, etc. I like it. Bonus too because they serve food. Full bar. Surprisingly good food.

I am tech guy but not a music guy but it seems like the feng shui of the place has also a good sound system. If I knew more and dug some more, I am sure they have sound stuff built in. But remember, I am a tech dude and a writer -- not a sound guy.

This place isn't good.  SKIP IT.

The $12 burger was about the size of a McDonalds hamburger. It took forever and if timed, it would have been close to an hour.

Our group of four went after a wine reception. The tuna appetizer was super meesley, small and not tasty. It has the makings of a place about to go under. I am also guessing that the current owner took it over from a bankruptcy, kept the word Nieman Ranch on the menu but just bought frozen patties at $0.40/per (its what some joints pay for a carton of burgers)

Good work is done here.

As a small business owner in Illinois, I rely on experts to make my life easier and to mentor me in areas I do not know about.

Good work is done here.

Love them!

I love businesses that are owner operated. Even the employees act like owners because they care

I have been in contact with this guy (Rob) eight days ago
... and four days ago
and I started the order over two weeks ago.

I was promised chips to be delivered as of Fri Mar 5. The party event committee is gonna roast me because I didn't get this done

zero updates and zero results as of Mar 5

If you wanna be stressed about getting custom poker chips, order from these guys.

I did a basic two sided chip with custom lettering

In short, avoid these guys

**UPDATE **
after many email, the art was pushed ahead and the chips look great
They were overnighted to arrive hours before my event where I had ordered them one month out

Do yourself a favor and tell them your event is two weeks before the real event so you'll have some cushion

    I like it for lunch when I am treating myself. I like it better when a VC is treating me, but whatever ;-)

    Its good for events because its got the inside/outside overflow. The service is amazing. The menu has changed a bit but I think for the better. I rotate between the gorgonzola burger to the pizza with truffle oil to the array of salads. Good stuff

I like the top floor for drinks or breakfast.

Why?! Because it has an amazing 360 view of SF

Format: There is a breakfast buffet so it lets you do back-to-back-to-back meetings... It's perfect because you just keep your table and usher out your 8:15am before your 9am.
