Any restauranteur, for that matter any businessperson or entrepreneur, should read this book. Danny Meyer runs a great business and this is a terrific book! --Gordon Ramsay.
Danny Meyer s marvelous book is not just about restaurants, but about how to really learn a business...This book is full of wisdom for entrepreneurs, and for every manager --Prof. Michael Porter, Havard Business School.
Setting the Table is far more than an engaging book about establishing and running restaurants: it is studded with reflections that have wider application to business and management --Simon Caulkin, Observer.

I don't know what happened in the 10+ hours it took me to fly from Amsterdam to Portland, Oregon, because I was absolutely engrossed in this wonderful book. I bought it because my husband and I are opening an agriturismo in northern Italy, but it isn't just a book for future restaurant owners. The author is such a lovely man with so much wisdom to share. Along with being an entrepreneur extraordinare, he's a terrific writer. His concept of hospitality is something we all can, and should, apply to our daily lives.

Whilst I am not a big fan of business "how to" books, this is a thoroughly engaging read. I am a self confessed "foodie" and this makes for a fascinating insight in to how truly difficult it is to run a successful restaurant. Meyer writes very well and has a fantastic line in self deprecation which is undoubtedly one of the reasons for his success.
Plenty of useful insights for any business person and I would say absolutely essential reading for anyone contemplating opening a restaurant.
Despite the book's narrow focus, I think that most people (even if uninterested in either business or restaurants) would find this book interesting and informative and a very easy page turner.

An inspirational book, we bought copies for all our management team. Meyer reiterates what the restaurant game is all about, and, while focussing on his unique approach, his lessons can be appiled to a multitude of businisses. Importantly its a really easy read for people who dont do management manuals!

Inspiring and well written.
This is excellent. Just enough business talk (largely about managing staff in a progressive and egalitarian way), and a lot of background to the man himself. Read more

Could be a great book but I'll never know
I ordered this book couple of weeks ago, but never laid my hands on it! While I was out of country, the book was supposedly delivered, returned (by me) and refund was requested... Read more
