Thanks, V, for doing this. Millennium sounds good, albeit a tad pricy.
Was wondering if we would get a wider range of takers were we to
do something more modest (or just a different range?) next time.

Greens can handle groups just fine. Call them directly.
Advantages: great food, great view, great parking.
Disadvantages: not close to BART.

Neither of which would work for us.

My apologies.
My comment was general, not of the specific day, in response to the statement that Green does not handle groups well.

BTW I think the set seating times for large groups is a daily thing with them and not due to existing reservations.

After the MR seminar in Mt.View, have been looking forward to an SF-DO ... but I'm just too much of a carnivore for this event.
(Plus it looks like I need a couple of thousand more posts to be in the same league with most of the rest of you!

Hi, I realize Greens won't work for this event, but just so people won't discount it for their own gatherings, only groups of more than 10 are usually relegated to early or late. Less than that and they can give you a regular booking - existing reservations permitting.
Construction is also underway on a new room for group events.
I am not sure if I can make this DO, but I will check back in with you all.
Best wishes,

Time to firm up reservations
The current reservation is for 10 folks. Including everyone on the "Maybe" list, we have 11. Please let me know if you want to be put on the confirmed list.
If we get more than 10 interested, I will call Millenium and see if we can adjust the reservation.
