Dress etiquette for lunch interview at mall?

Hey guys I sent my resume and cover letter for an investment banking internship during the fall next year at a regional office of a top boutique (Evercore, Lazard, Greenhill). An analyst replied and said he wanted to get lunch with me this weekend at the local mall and I was wondering what would be appropriate to wear in this situation, full suit, or button-up and slacks?

Also what kind of questions should I expect from him? I'm a rising junior at a top public without any prior finance experience and this is my first i-banking interview so I'm really nervous and excited.

I appreciate all the help, thanks!

Lazard is business formal.

I say to be safe, dress to impress (business formal), but come across as easy-going, passionate, and confident during your interview. In other words, show them you are taking the opportunity seriously, but also show them you're an easy working guy- someone they wouldn't mind working with for 15 hours a day.
