Philadelphia Restaurants for lunch?

I'm wondering if someone might be able to suggest a nice restaurant not far from University City for a small group to enjoy lunch. I'd rather not be with all of the college kids. Thanks for your help.

Would be able to answer better with more info:
You want something within walking distance?
Budget?
Food preferences?

The White Dog Cafe would suit your needs.

You're not going to run into a lot of college kids at the nicer University City restaurants and if you really want to get away from the schools, you're going to have to go across the river. The Rittenhouse Square area isn't too far depending on where in University City you start from.

Check out this website for a listing of the huge variety of restaurants in UC:

To narrow it down to the lunch hours you can plug your preferences into www.opentable.com.

Pod, Penne, and Rx are all restaurants in UC you can look at.

If you like Mexican, I can recommend Distrito at 40th and Chestnut.

I really like Pod, too.
