Need a quiet lunch spot near Dundas/Yonge

Used to use the Savoy Bistro but it's gone. Need to have a business-type lunch, so noise level is more crucial than cuisine or price.

Any ideas?

    Thanks to all who suggested places. Two of my guests aren't red meat eaters, so Barberian's seemed a waste (although I would have loved it!).
    We're going with City Grill.

      Baton Rouge is a decent spot with tables spaced well apart and good service.

        I like Oro (45 Elm); not pin-drop quiet but I think fine for a business lunch.

          Oro is a good choice. However, they don't open for lunch any more.

          I agree with Barberian's for quiet business lunch in that area.

            Barberians is quiet and well suited to business lunches.

            Located on Elm

                Or go up to Elm, where there's a bunch of non-chain restaurants between Yonge and Bay.

                Have had some okay meals at 35 Elm. More sedated/older crowd, and tables are not too close together. http://www.thirtyfiveelm.com/

                  Pretty much a restaurant wasteland...what about the City Grill?
