Villa Taverna, one of San Francisco's most elite private clubs

Looks like total revenue in the 990 was 910K, so 910/membership is likely in the 10K/year range assume only 100 members.

"According to Villa Taverna’s most recent 990, which lists the club under a different name, it raked in more than $700,000 in membership dues and $130,000 in initiation fees in 2021, along with nearly $80,000 in contributions."

Rather disappointed by the writers tone. It appears the food must be great cause exclusivity isn't alone worth the $130,000 initiation fee. But to compare the food to Olive Garden because it caters to the rich and powerful is a cheap shot.

lol, just moved to SF

this is the lore I needed
