I have a last-minute business dinner (expense account) with a friend who is NOT a picky eater, and has generally liked all the places I've suggested and taken him.
I want a place where we can talk business for a while, but yet be able to catch up. So I guess moderately quiet, but not stuffy or staid. The current restaurants on my short list are:
Postrio
Boulevard
Fringale
Azie (haven't been in EONS - don't even know how it is anymore)
Quince
Please tell me which TWO you'd pick (need a backup for possible inability to get a reservation)
