Their web site is still up - I can't remember whether I was last invited for my friend's birthday last year or in '09. Their prices look really high on their web site (that and the drive from from mid-peninsula have kept me away.)

As for the current economic climate, if it survived the dot-com bust, locally the current climate doesn't seem any worse now, and the google/facebook/whatever mini-boom is going strong; said friend above works for one of those.
