I'm interested in arranging dinner with a client later this week, something upscale in my area.
The more formal restaurants that are also highly rated are The Hound, The Depot, Acre, and Hamilton's. Do you have a preference on type of cuisine?
My client is American and I don't know much else about his personal background or if he's picky, so let's just go with all American, crowd pleasing foods. Burgers, steaks, pork chops, mah, stuff like that.
Then The Hound is exactly what you're looking for they have literally every single thing you named and much more.
OK! Please book me a table for two for tomorrow at 7 pm. Since we'll be talking business, it's important for us to be in a very quiet area, if they have a separate dining room even perhaps.
They do have a separate closed off room with tables however those are only reserved for large parties.
Well, ok they can seat us on the floor then, but I really do need it to be not so boisterous so can I get a corner table?
They don't accommodate reserving certain tables like that. You would have to show up and only be seated at a corner table if one happens to be open at the moment.
That's no good. Let's switch restaurants. 
The Depot is actually owned by the same people that run the Hound. So the quality of food is just as high over there.
Can they put us in a separate dining area?
Yes they have a 'quiet dining' area specifically for people like you who request less noise if they need to work on something while they eat.
does it cost more to sit there? does the service suffer?
not at all. it's just a quieter environment that's encouraged.
please book me a table there in that room for 2 there at 7.
unfortunately the closest reservation time left is for 6.
I will take that. that's fine
you got it. i just booked it for you.
thank you very much.
