- A: They are all kid-sized.
- B: OK. What does the burger come with?
- A: It comes with fries or salad.
- B:OK. We’ll get the burger with fries.

4. Questions about the menu
- A: Do you have any questions about the menu?
- B: Yes, actually. Do we both need to do the tasting menu or can one of us get a la carte?
- A: The tasting menu s for the whole table. But it’s definitely the best way to eperience our best dishes.
- B: OK. We’ll do that then. How many courses are there?
- A: It’s a four-course meal: soup, appetizer,entree and dessert.
- B: I’ve got some questions about the appetizer. What is beef carpaccio?
- A: It’s very thinly-sliced beef. But it’s raw.
- B: Oh, I don’t really like raw meat. We’ll go with the salad then.
- A: No problem. And which entree would you like? The steak or the fish?
- B: Um, I’m looking for something light, not too greasy or filling.
- A: In that case, may I suggest the fish? It’s pan seared and served with fresh seasonal vegetables.
- B: OK. I’ll do that. And we’ll get the steak for my husband. Medium rare please.
- A: Great choice! The steak is very tender. As for dessert,I’m sure you’ll love our signature tiramisu.
- B: Yum! I can’t wait!
- A: Would you like to add the wine pairing?
- B: No, I think we’re fine.

- A: Okay, I’ll be sure to let her know. Is there anything else that is not meeting expectations?

- A: My deepest apologies, Sir. They are really swamped in the kitchen tonight
and must have forgotten. - B: Well, to make things worse, look what we found swimming in my wife’s soup! A hair!

that in the future we might have to take our business elsewhere! - A: I completely understand. As an apology, tonight’s meal is on the house.
