Ordering Food

Good evening, sir! Welcome to the Grand Oak Hotel restaurant. Have you dined with us before?

Hi there! No, this is actually my first time. I just moved to the city last month.

That's wonderful! Please allow me to help you get settled. Here is your menu.

Thanks! Wow, the menu looks quite extensive. Do you have any recommendation for a first-time visitor?

Absolutely! Our grilled salmon with herb butter has been our most popular dish this season.

That sounds tempting. Before I decide, though, I should mention that I have some food allergies.

Of course. Could you tell me exactly what you are allergic to so I can guide you properly?

I am allergic to shellfish and tree nuts. I had a pretty bad reaction to shrimp once.

Thank you for letting me know. I will make sure the kitchen is fully informed about that.

I really appreciate it. So, considering my allergies, what would you suggest I order?

The grilled salmon is perfectly safe for you since it contains neither shellfish nor tree nuts.

Great, I will go with the salmon then. Could I also get a Caesar salad to start?

Excellent choice! The Caesar salad pairs beautifully with the salmon. What would you like to drink?

I think I will have a glass of white wine. What do you have that goes well with fish?

Our Sauvignon Blanc has been highly recommended by guests who have ordered the salmon before.

Perfect, I will take that. Thank you for all the helpful suggestions, David.

Here is your salmon and salad, sir. The chef has prepared everything with your allergies in mind.

This looks absolutely incredible! The presentation alone has already impressed me quite a lot.

I am glad to hear that. Please take your time and enjoy the meal thoroughly.

This salmon is perfectly cooked. I have not had anything this good since I left my hometown.

That is the best compliment we could receive! Shall I bring you the check whenever you are ready?

Yes, please. And I will definitely be coming back here again very soon.
