NetSuite trotted the press and analyst corps out to Pacific Heights to Chateau Ellison, whose views span the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz (where Oracle chairman Larry Ellison’s business enemies are imprisoned). All floors had balconies and are connected by spiral staircases with fine wood railing. I walked into one of the floor-to-ceiling windows while trying to exit. It was hors d’oeuvres as usual, if usual normally includes steak tartar, lobster tortellini, fava bean risotto, short ribs and Peking duck.
