Best Downtown Business Lunch:

Buckley’s Restaurant & Bar

What makes a good business lunch setting? The restaurant should be polished but not too stuffy. It should be easy to get in and out, and the menu should hit the right bases – a solid group of sandwiches and salads, plus a few entrées for those who want fancier knife-and-fork fare. Buckley’s (801 N. Cass St., buckleysmilwaukee.com) has vim and vigor with the business crowd, and there will be more of it to love when a long-awaited renovation and expansion is complete next year.
