I'd like to take my boss (and best friend) out for lunch on his 70th birthday next month. His favorite meal is a veal chop followed by a piece of chocolate cake, so I am in search of some recommendations for restaurants that prepare a great veal chop (and chocolate cake). The only criteria are that the restaurant be located in Center City and be open for lunch. Thanks!

The Saloon at 750 S 7th has a great double veal chop, and is open for lunch. also stuffed veal chop filled with parmigiano-reggiano cheese, spinach, prosciutto in a marsala wine sauce over Yukon gold mashed potatoes

not sure if that is technically Center City, though.

Davio's woulda been my first bet too. Or any of the steakhouses. Capital Grille has a Veal Chop on the dinner but not the lunch menu. A call ahead might secure one at lunchtime.

I'm not sure if veal chops are on the menu at Barclay Prime, but I would definately recommend this place if they are. I had an awesome ribeye there a few weeks ago, pricey but perfect.

Wherever Chef Vince Alberici is, so too is a good veal chop. With the closing of the Adam's Mark, where he toiled for many years, he has moved his considerable expertise to Delmonico's at the Hilton City Ave. I would expect a flawless veal chop to be served there now.

unfortunately, Hilton City Ave is not close to meeting the Center City requirement...
