I worked with Dan Baker to purchase a local ice cream shop. Dan was very professional and thorough. This being the first purchase for us, Dan was of top of things and guided us all the way through to the closing.

⭐ 1/5 Unfortunately, my experience with Restaurant Realty Company has been extremely disappointing. As a small restaurant owner, I hired them expecting professional representation, communication, and an active effort to find a buyer. Instead, communication became one of the biggest problems. I repeatedly had to email and call both my listing agent and the company multiple times just to get a response or an update. There were long periods where I felt like I had no idea what was happening with my own listing. During my time working with them, I did not receive a single serious buyer/client for my restaurant. What I did receive were repeated conversations about lowering the asking price. I completely understand that market conditions matter and that no broker can guarantee a sale, but simply continuing to reduce the price is not what I expected when hiring a professional restaurant brokerage. For me, the most frustrating part was having to chase the people I hired to represent me. Even if a business doesn’t sell, the owner should still receive consistent communication, feedback, updates on buyer activity, and a clear explanation of what is being done to market the business. If you own a small restaurant and are considering using this company, I strongly recommend asking exactly what they will do to market your business, how often they will communicate with you, how many similar restaurants they have actually sold, and what their strategy will be if the listing doesn’t generate inquiries. Based on my personal experience, I would not work with Restaurant Realty Company again.

Working with Keith was the worst experience in my profession career of over 30 years. As my agent he didn’t listen to my requests and talked back to me with disrespect. I find him incompetent and just looking for a quick close causing his clients financial loss. Do yourself a favor and find a different agent who actually wants the best for his clients. In addition, he never responses on time and doesn’t have time to tour the restaurants he is responsible to sell. He is unprofessional and dishonest.

Dan Baker, Restaurant Reality, is a true professional as he represented both seller and buyer (myself) in the business purchase and type 42 license transfer. Not only is he knowledgeable as a Realtor, but as a former Restaurant owner himself, he is able to relate to experiences you may have to help you navigate through the purchase, moving the process forward. Dan returns phone calls promptly and does his research to provide answers and/or options, if needed. It was a pleasure working with Dan and I recommend him with your next business purchase/sale.

We just finished working with Restaurant Realty on the sale of our business and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We worked with Dan Baker for close to 6 months and he went above and beyond for us. There were quite a few twists and turns throughout the process and Dan handled every bump in the road with complete professionalism. He is extremely knowledgeable and so good at what he does. There is no way we could have had the outcome that we had, without him. Highly recommend!

I remember this restaurant. I believe this is located on Geary Blvd & Van Ness.

We had an exceptional experience working with Andy Mirabell during the purchase of Roxx on Main Restaurant. Andy was extremely thorough, professional, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. From negotiations to closing, he guided us every step of the way with clarity and confidence. What truly set Andy apart was his support beyond the sale he personally helped us with the transfer of the Type 47 liquor license, making what could have been a stressful and complicated process smooth and seamless. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine commitment to our success gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend Andy Mirabell to anyone looking to buy or sell a restaurant. He is reliable, experienced, and truly outstanding to work with.

This review is long overdue – it’s for Dan Baker and he is fantastic! He helped me navigate my first dine-in lease; he was very professional, thorough and forthcoming with his advice and guidance. Having been a Chef-owner himself was especially reassuring as I always got the feeling he spoke from experience. As a first timer, very often I did not have the legal jargon or questions framed completely. He patiently explained realistic scenarios which helped me make independent decisions with clarity and confidence. He represented both the buyer (me) and the Seller. I was especially impressed by how well balanced his representation was, never leaning one way or the other. He was thoughtful enough to let me know in advance about his upcoming vacation, staying in touch as required. Just know you are in great hands with Dan Baker, highly recommend!

Reputable and Professional.

We worked with Andy Mirabel when we wanted to transfer out our lease. It was such a difficult time (during and post the pandemic) to try to get anybody to come in to open a new business! On top of that, our landlord has proven to be difficult to work with during the transferring process. But Andy, with his expertise and his patience, has worked his magic and made the deal happen — we are now stress-free and open for the next adventure! Thank you, Andy!!
