Pawtucket/Providence Business Dinner Recommendations?

I'm a Toronto (Canada) CH and will be visiting Pawtucket. Any recommendations on a nice restaurant for a business dinner? Someplace with good food, a nice environment for talking (price not so much the issue as food/environment). No specific requirements on type of food: I'm open to suggestions for anything good (maybe French, Italian, Asian/Asian fusion, seafood, etc. are safer bets for a group?).

Some older threads suggested crossing over to Providence. I'm open to suggestions for Providence too if they don't involve too much travel or inconvenience coming from Pawtucket (driving). I'd be very interested in any Pawtucket recommendations.

Thanks!

    Thanks invinotheresverde & Bob W! Chez Pascal looks perfect! The food looks scrumptious. I'm also intrigued by their Dogs Mobile on their website:

    - but perhaps not for the business dinner :-)

    If I were staying longer, I'd want to try La Laiterie on my own - that looks like a terrific place too. RIP to the Windsor Grille...

    Thanks so much!

      Will you have a car? Downtown Providence is just a few minutes from downtown Pawt via I-95, and there are plenty of good choices, such as the original Capitol Grille. But Chez Pascal would be a very nice choice and it's also a quick shot from downtown Pawtucket.

      Sadly, unless there have been some very recent developments, there's nothing for a nice classy business dinner in Pawtucket. You could have gone to my family's restaurant, the Windsor Grille, but you're about 40 years too late. 8<(

        Chez Pascal is amazing French on the Pawtucket/Providence line. It can get a bit boisterous at times, but it's certainly not too loud for a business dinner.
