In about a month we are having some people from out of town come in for work. These are people from our software vendor and they always like to treat us to lunch. Last year we went to something like Charleston's and the comment was made that we didn't have to worry that much on price. So since I'm not paying I was looking for some lunch suggestions of something a step up from Charleston's that is nice, preferably a locally owned place. We are in Mustang, so know we'll have to drive. We'd be willing to go downtown, but that's about the furthest we'd drive. Restaurants up on Memorial won't be doable.

Vast or Packard's

Broadway 10; Museum Cafe; Kitchen 324 - not super high end but nice and really good.

Didn't know Vast did lunch, but according to their site lunch is $19.50 a person. Sounds completely doable and a nice view. I'll see if there is anything else that just blows my socks off, but I've been wanting to go to Vast at some point.

Agree with all the above. Add Flint to there, too.

I'd go against Vast cause it's a lunch buffet. I think Charleston's is definitely capable of being more expensive than what's being listed for the most part.

+1 for Broadway 10

Also worth mentioning that meat market refactory does lunch. I haven't been though.

Still love the Metro

Yes, the Metro. I've taken out of town folks there many times over the years. Always a great experience.

The buffet is an option. You can also order from the menu.

Lots of good suggestions here.

I think the Metro is too far North for us. Only reason I'm willing to go downtown is because it shows it off to out of towners, else we'd stay on the west side of town. I guess overall I wasn't aware so many of these nicer places were open during the day for lunch. Good to know for future reference as we have people come in several times a year.
