  • I wanted to try something new today, but I don't see anything interesting on the menu.

  • What kind of food are you looking for?

  • Hmm.. nothing specific. Actually, I've tried all the dishes that are listed here. I was looking to explore new ones.

  • Let me to talk to the chef. I'm sure he can suggest something.

  • No.That's okay. Let me just suggest that you add some more food variety to your menu. I haven't seen any changes in it, for a while now.

  • You've been one of our more regular customers. I'll definitely take your suggestion to the manager.

  • That's good. For now, you can bring me the red sauce pasta and potato wedges.

  • Excuse me! Are you out of vegetables today?

  • I am sorry, Sir. I don't understand...

  • I ordered a Creamy Vegetable Soup and there aren't many vegetables in it. It's mainly just broth.

  • I really apologize for that. Allow me to replace it with a better one.

  • No. That's alright now. I'll just fill up on the main course.

  • I assure you it won't happen again. As a token of our apologies, we won't charge you for the soup.

  • That's good. I hope we won't be disappointed with the food quality.

  • You will not, Sir.

  • Excuse me! Would you mind telling me who's the cook?

  • What's wrong, Sir? Is there anything I can help you with?

  • Well, as you can see, I ordered a chicken parmigiana and the chicken is not well-cooked.

  • I really apologize for this mistake. Allow me to get you a better dish.

  • That's alright, but you people have been running this restaurant for so long! Usually such things do not happen here.

  • I would appreciate if you can replace it with a well-cooked dish.
