Business Lunch Spots in San Francisco

A business lunch has a clock on it. The room has to be quiet enough to talk, the kitchen quick enough to get everyone back for the next meeting, and the bill unremarkable on an expense report. These guides sort the options by what the lunch is for, a one-on-one, a client, a candidate or a whole team, and by where in the city your calendar has put you.
