Restaurant informational interviews?

I e-mailed an alumni, a VP, asking if he had the time to talk about his experiences, I'm interested in the finance industry, etc.

I only expected a phone chat or coffee chat at most, but the meeting place he decided on was a restaurant. Is there any etiquette I should follow differently? I've only had phone and coffee chats since I started networking.

P.S. I'm also a guy
