Staff: Hello, Gino's.
Jamie: Hi, I called earlier to book a table for four and I was wondering if I can make it for six instead?
Staff: Ah, what name was it?
Jamie: It's Jamie.
Staff: Table for four at half past seven. So you want to change it to 6 o'clock?
Jamie: No, sorry. Can I make it for six people?
Staff: Oh, I see. Sorry! That shouldn't be a problem. I can move you to a bigger table but it will be nearer the kitchen. Is that OK?
Jamie: No problem. Is it possible to change the time as well? Make it a little bit later?
Staff: Ah ... yeah, we can. Is eight OK for you?
Jamie: Perfect, thanks!
Staff: Lovely. See you tomorrow, then.
Jamie: Thanks! Bye!
Staff: Thanks. Ciao!

Mexicans restaurants are my favorite kind of restaurant because they prepared delicious mole.
My favorite type of restaurant is one that has different types of meat, really good desserts, and, if possible, isn't too expensive :D

What's your favourite kind of restaurant?
In general, I don't like eating a lot outside but if I'am oblige to I prefer seafood restaurant.
I also book a table in restaurant. This is best choice to keep the seat if you go to outside even you only go to coffee/tea or even watching the movies in the cinema. Book the table or seat before go out!!!
Done
What's your favourite kind of restaurant?
I don't have a clear answer. I hardly ever go to a restaurant.
But, for me, the most important thing is the taste of the food.
