5/1/2023“We just successfully closed the sale of our restaurant with the incredible assistance from Andy Mirabell. Despite the fact that this is a very difficult time to sell a restaurant (during Covid) and having to work with an an exceedingly difficult landlord, Andy’s tireless efforts were successfuling closing the sale. He went well beyond the requirements of a good broker and helped navigate the very difficult obstacles to make this happen.
We highly recommend Andy for his, passionate (and compassionate) and knowledgeable expertise. We have the highest praise for Andy Mirabell.”

3/8/2023“Upon recently purchasing my café, Tamas Took represented the sale of the business. Tamas was able to meet face to face when needed and available to text or call with questions at any time. Escrow was delayed due to the holidays- Tamas was patient through this and remained very flexible with our time. His knowledge of the restaurant business allowed us to see eye to eye on many fronts while giving his professional opinion. He takes time to explain key details through the process and made the transaction seamless. Tamas is extremely reliable and I strongly recommend his expertise.”

“We worked with Patrick Totah on the recent sale of our restaurant on the Peninsula. I have nothing but great things to say about his part in our transaction. Getting from listing the business to closing escrow was a long, drawn out process, including three serious buying groups, and many starts and stops along the way–not to mention COVID issues. Patrick was always a positive voice, and with us every step of the way. Patrick expertly and helpfully guided us through all of the steps in this extremely complicated process, and we always felt that we completely understood what was going on at each phase. Great guy, patient, & always available–even when buyers pulled out and nothing was on the table. We cannot recommend him enough.”

Andy has a vast experience in food industry, in commercial real estate and a very pleasant personality. We strongly recommend Andy!”

Our broker, Steve Zimmerman, is very knowledgable about the market and was responsive to every email and phone call. We had several landlord issues to work out and Steve was able to maintain a positive working relationship with him. We also had ABC complications and Steve was very helpful in resolving those. He was able to draw on effective resources when needed and maintains a network of knowledgeable professionals he can call on when his clients need extra support.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Restaurant Realty to anyone who needs an experienced, professional, and effective realtor for selling a restaurant or bar.”

He was able to move things forward when they stalled with the management company and I truly appreciate all of his help. To say that I recommend Andy would be an understatement. If you are in the market for a commercial food related purchase, definitely check out Restaurant realty and get Andy on your team.”

3/2/2015“It gives me great pleasure to give Keith Simpson, of Restaurant Realty the highest review I have to offer. Keith’s vast knowledge of the restaurant industry was essential in the sale of this specialty market restaurant property and business. In addition to knowledge, Keith has an exceptional professionalism and work ethic. He worked diligently and tirelessly through the entire process. There was not a detail that was not paid keen attention to, nor a moment that the ball was ever not in full play. His patience, genuine interest and follow up was incredible. In summation, your trust is well placed with this man, he will get the job done, and you will walk away deeply appreciative of the attention, personable experience, and professionalism that was part of it all.”

Looking for a new restaurant can be a slow process, but RR were quick to respond to all our queries and gave straightforward explanations and guidance throughout the process and afterwards. Steve is most definitely a great businessman and his book Restaurant Dealmaker is a must read for anyone wishing to get into the business. Thank you from Luna Blu in Tiburon.”
