Paley.

The stylish decor and interesting menu would take me here even if the restaurant wasn’t a block from my office. It’s warm and welcoming, and the staff are attentive but not intrusive. Let the hostess know the nature of your meeting—initial, important—and they’ll accommodate by switching up the service wonderfully. It’s crucial and a lifesaver. Get the Paley pancake or the pan-seared salmon. And don't forget to order a side of the peaches and cream.
