Friday lunch near Providence Convention Center

I'm looking for a good lunch spot for a mid-afternoon meeting near the Providence Convention Center. Any thoughts?

I second the recommendations of Local 121 or Bravo Brasserie. I have had business lunches in both locations.

There's also Union Station Brewery at 36 Exchange Terrace and Bravo Brasserie. I poached these two from an earlier thread on good places to eat near Providence Place.

Local 121 would be a much better place for a lunch meeting, it's kind of hip, they focus on using fresh local and organic ingredients, and the food has been good when I've gone there.
The Old Canteen is stuffy and extremely old-school Italian-American (think early-1960's), not a good thing in my book. Also, you need to walk over the highway to get to the Old Canteen.

Hey I didn't mean any offense, the Old Canteen is actually kind of cool. I'm just saying it wouldn't be my first choice for a business lunch. I guess it would depend on how well you know the person you're eating with and if you think it would be the kind of thing that they'd be into.
