Lunch in the Arboretum area- recs please

A&Jmom · November 2010

I am trying to get a work lunch together for the 2nd week in Dec. It will be a group of about 8. Please give me some recs for places that will take reservations for weekday lunch or that getting a table for that many people around noon will not be an issue. It does not need to be in the Arboretum just in that area- Mopac/183 area. Arbor Walk/Domain/Anderson Ln all of those areas are fine. I would like to give some options for types of cuisine so give me anything you've got.

Thanks

ETA(or actually remove)- oops that teaches me for posting this while working! Ha! Sorry I took out my name.

I like Z Tejas in the Arboretum...

We also like Buca di Beppo near Dave and Buster's...

There are lots of options in The Domain. Jasper's is my favorite though when you first walk in it may look kind of romantic for a work lunch. They have "gourmet backyard cuisine" and the chef competed in Iron Chef.

North in The Domain is modern italian, they're another favorite. They don't have as many tables and they tend to fill up fast, so if you're going there I'd shoot for 12:30 or 1:00.

There's also Cheesecake Factory in The Arboretum. If you're worried about the holiday shopping crowd it may be a better bet than The Domain. The Arboretum's always dead slow anymore.
