Business brunch/lunch in West 20s?

[atlandnyc]

Hi,
I'm looking for a place in the West 20s for a weekday business brunch/lunch (11:30 a.m.) that is quiet enough for business talk and has good food/service. It's an expense account, but not a crazy one, so maybe up to $25 up to $40 for an entree.

Also, need to stay near W. 26th and 6th Ave. for quick, easy walk for out of towners to nearby post-meal meeting, so not looking at Union Square/Meat Packing.

I'd appreciate all suggestions. Thank you.

The NoMad is quite close as well. 28th and Broadway, about 3 blocks away.

Re: the o.p.'s mention of 11:30 a.m. NoMad's lunch service starts at noon, as does Junoon's.

Hi,
Thanks everyone. I hadn't heard of NoMad and I'm looking forward to trying that.

Also, RGR, you're right. The 11:30 start time is proving to be problematic and I may just have to expand the zone to include Union Square.

If you or anyone else has other ideas, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for the replies.

Even with expanding to the Union Square area, finding a restaurant with an 11:30 start time that would be right for a business meeting is still a problem. Tocqueville and Ciano, both of which would be perfect for a business lunch, start at 11:45.

However, if you are willing to go further west, i.e., 10th Av, b/t 15th & 16th Sts., Del Posto's lunch service starts at 11:30 a.m. Though I've never been there, I'm sure it would be appropriate for a business lunch.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions. I just want to let you know we ended up at Blue Water Grill. They're open at 11:30 and they're serving a lunch menu then, just in case anyone else needs to know. Thanks.

If you like Indian food, try Junoon.
