Loop/West Loop Lunch - medium noise level

My boss has asked for a lunch location for 3-4 people in a West Loop/Loop location with medium noise levels. To him, The Florentine at the JW Marriott can get too loud, but Sepia is too quiet. What other options do my LTHers suggest?

Blackbird?

City Mouse!

(Blackbird can be horribly noisy.)

Cochon Volant, The Dearborn, 7th Floor of Macy's or perhaps too quiet In Fields in Macy's basement, Publican (outside), Beatrix, Little Goat (especially late afternoon).

what about the atwood hotel? it's not cheap, of course, but the room is beautiful and the lunch menu looks wide ranging (i haven't tried it myself...)

Just to avoid confussion... The name of the restaurant is Atwood (click here for their website). The name of the hotel (formerly the Hotel Burnham) is now Staypineapple Chicago.

If you look at their website, as quoted below, it's obvious Staypineapple is trying to distinguish their brand as being something different from all the traditional hotel chains, in lots of different ways.

I can see how their name fits with this objective, since it's catchy, memorable, and very NON-traditional. Given that strategy and philosophy, I think the name is perfect.
