It has been proven that three quarters of Americans spend their time during lunch looking out their windows in thoughts about their lives and career. This is usually done on their desk, in their own work station cubicles. However, it has also been proven that business relationships and worker’s mindsets can be improved by having “power lunches” once in a while outside, as a team. Especially when there is a big project coming up, or if you are looking into expanding your company line, then the baby steps can be discussed and decided on a lunch table in a good restaurant rather than a meeting room like any other day.
For such business lunches, there are many cuisines that can be considered. You can go heavy with a native steak, or you can go posh with French or Italian. Some flavorful goodness of Indian or Mexican food would do the trick as well. It depends on what you think your company would like to enjoy while discussing important matters in a more relaxed way.
Abe & Louie’s
This is one steakhouse that was voted as the best in Boston for the years of 2004, 2005 and 2009. This three-time award winner is very popular, so make sure you get the seats reserved before going in for your company lunch. It has a high-class touch to its steaks but retains the local flavors. Abe & Louie’s also offer you some privacy with their private dining rooms in both their floors. This can be a good opportunity to step out of your office setting yet still retain confidential matters within closed doors, but with great food alongside so that your colleagues don’t fall asleep!
Smith & Wollensky Restaurant
This is another classic steakhouse which will rob your heart along with the hearts of your colleagues. Their quality steaks and rich seafood will keep your crowd coming back for seconds and their simple indoor interior designing keeps things less fancy and more serious for work to be done during lunch. Simply put, it is a straightforward, plain and brisk dining place for a business dinner which doesn’t compromise on food quality and taste.
Houston’s Steak House
This steak house is also another popular choice that gets packed during every lunch, so again make sure your reservations are in check. Their trustworthy food choices and service keeps people coming back for more. Their waiters are always on their toes on who needs to make an order, needs a water refill as well as those who need their table cleared or their bills sent to their tables. The atmosphere here is not too tensed up for people to be uncomfortable, but just nice that your employees or partners can take a breather and a bite while thinking about the company’s future. If you or your people are getting sick of western food, fear not, because Houston now has a range of Sushi as well.
Sel de la Terre
Located at Back Bay and Long Wharf and this is the place to go if you want some French food with a local American touch to it. This is indeed a more posh and up-class choice of cuisine, but it is suitable if you want a pleasant lunch to please your partners. Although it is really labeled to be fancy, we feel the price is rather affordable for the luxury it provides. Consider the Back Bay location and that, we feel, is definitely is an affordable choice for a fancy lunch.
Grill 23 and Bar
This is yet again another very popular steakhouse but this comes with a posh bar for a change. It holds service that is very professional, and the staff team tends to give diners their own privacy and comfort. This might be an advantage to have confidential meetings at Grill 23. There are also weekly changes in the chef’s favorite dishes, so when you return back you can have some variety instead of facing the same menu.
Post 390
This place is located at the Clarendon Building and it is another high edge modern cuisine favorite. It has a lounge, a really classy bar and a rich atmosphere that your partners might really feel an air of distinction around. Although it is said to be rather a meat market, it is really perfect for confidential business meetings with really important people due to its rich outlook.
