A meeting room that happens to serve a good lunch
The problem with most lunch meetings is that the room is either a conference room with sandwiches in foil or a restaurant table where the person at the end cannot hear. The Boardroom at Mercury Chophouse – Arlington is built for the middle ground. It is a private room behind a frosted glass door on the ninth floor of the Brookhollow Two tower, one long table for 8 to 20, and the lunch menu is served on weekdays from 11 AM.
The screen is part of the room. A fully integrated AV system means the quarterly numbers go up on a large screen while the salads come out, with no cart, no cables across the floor and no laptop propped against a water pitcher. When the working part is over, the view over the Entertainment District is the reward for having done it.
Lunch dishes that arrive without slowing the agenda
Lunch menus are tailored for private groups the same way dinner menus are, and the weekday lunch list gives the kitchen quick, clean plates to build from. For a meeting with a hard stop, hosts usually pre-select a short list so orders are taken once and the food lands together.
| Lunch item | Price |
|---|---|
| Club Sandwich, with steak fries, small salad or cup of soup | $14 |
| Chicken Sandwich, grilled or fried | $15 |
| Cobb in a Mold | $16 |
| Soup and Salad Combo | $16 |
| Marinated Steak Sandwich | $19 |
| Cedar Plank Grilled Salmon | $24 |
| Chicken Fried Steak, whipped potatoes, rye whiskey cream gravy | $24 |
| Center-Cut Filet Mignon 6 oz | $54 |
Salads take grilled chicken for $10 more or marinated skirt steak for $16 more, which keeps a lighter table happy. The full weekday list is on the lunch menu and hours page, and the HTML menu has every item.
How the room is set for a working lunch
One table, everyone facing in, the screen at one end. The door closes on the main dining room, so a midday meeting has the quiet it needs. Coffee is $4 and hot tea $4 if the meeting runs long, and the bar is open from 11 AM for anyone who considers a lunch meeting without a glass of wine incomplete.
Because the room is on the ninth floor of an office tower with a free garage and outdoor lot, a lunch meeting here fits a workday. Guests park, ride the elevator to Suite 910, and are back in the car afterward without crossing a stadium lot. Highway 360 is about a mile east of the front door and I-30 about a mile south.

Meetings of fewer than eight
Not every lunch meeting needs a private room. For two to seven people, a table in the main dining room by the curved window wall does the job, reserved through OpenTable or at 817-381-1157, and the business lunch page covers that version of the day. The one-check rule applies to parties of 12 or more in the main room and to every group in the Boardroom, so a host who wants a single receipt gets one either way.
Saturday lunch is not an option; the restaurant opens at 4 PM on Saturday and is closed on Sunday. Weekday lunch is the window.
Booking the room for lunch
Use the business meeting room answer page for the short version, then send the date, headcount, start and end times, AV needs and any pre-selected lunch items through the event inquiry form. A reply with availability and a written proposal, including the minimum and any deposit terms, comes within 48 hours. Mention if the date is flexible; a Tuesday or Wednesday is usually easier to hold than a Friday, when the dining room fills with pre-weekend lunches and the district starts warming up for game night.

Frequently asked questions
How early can a lunch meeting start in the Boardroom?
The lunch menu is served from 11 AM Monday through Friday, so 11 AM is the earliest lunch seating. If you need the room before food service for a meeting segment, ask on the inquiry form; early access is not published as a standard option, so the events team will confirm it case by case.
Can we keep the room after lunch to finish the meeting?
The restaurant's published hours run through the afternoon into dinner, and the exact lunch-to-dinner switch is not published. State your intended end time on the form. A lunch that runs to 2:30 PM is a normal request; a room held until 5 PM is something to confirm in the proposal.
Is there a projector, or do we bring our own?
You do not bring one. The Boardroom has a fully integrated AV system with a large screen built into the room. What is not published is the connection method for a laptop, so mention on the form whether you will present from a laptop, a tablet or a shared link.
Does the food and beverage minimum apply to a lunch meeting?
Yes, for parties of 10 or more, and the amount is based on party size and quoted with the proposal. Lunch prices are lower than dinner prices, so a lunch minimum is met differently than a dinner one. For 8 or 9 guests, no minimum is stated, but one check is still presented.
Is the Boardroom quiet enough for a conference call during lunch?
The room has a door that closes, a single table, and no live music at lunch, so the noise floor is that of a private dining room rather than a restaurant floor. Whether the AV system supports a call is not published; ask when you book if a remote colleague needs to join.
