Saturday Business Lunch

[Holly Moore]

I'm drawing/shooting blanks on this. Got a British TV type coming in for a business lunch meeting this Saturday - total of three people. As I'm usually wolfing down hot dogs and cheesesteaks on Saturday's or am too filled up after breakfast at Carman's, I'm having a hard time finding a place open for Saturday Lunch. I figured one of the steak houses but they all seem to be closed.

One possibility is Jack's Firehouse, but she's staying in Center City, so I'm hoping for something thereabouts. Decent food, good sized table, preferably not one of the hotel dining rooms.

So who serves a respectable Saturday Lunch?

Holly:

You could always stop by here at Rouge for Saturday Brunch/Lunch. There's brunch-y kind of stuff as Specials, as well as the regular menu with our Best of Philly burgers.

Let me know if I can hook that up for you.

Thanks Katie,

My read on Rogue is that it's fun, great food, but not all that condusive to business talk, especially when the place is a-poppin' on a Saturday afternoon. If I'm wrong, let me know and we'll set something up.

Caribou Cafe? Not the largest tables, but the upstairs area may offer a bit of shelter from the bustle.

Sansom Street Oyster House is open for lunch Saturdays, if that would be an appropriate venue for your business guests.

Depends on the weather how busy (read: noisy) it is on any given afternoon. If you needed to spread out paperwork and have a genuine business meeting then you know our small tables probably aren't conducive for that. But if you're simply looking for a great meal and the chance to have a business conversation, it might be a good choice.

Just let me know if I can help...

I'm pretty sure Matyson is open for Saturday lunch.

Thanks all,

Katie's shilling worked again. We settled on Rouge.
