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?

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?

My favourite restaurant is my home. Of course, my mum always cooks delicious food for me. I'm grateful to her for always making me happy with her special dishes. I think she could become a master chef!
My favorite kind of restaurant is my home. I really like the curry and taste which is make by my father. He is a great my family chef that I think. I'm living a lone at the big town of my country starting from 23 years old. There is 3 hours riding by express, is far away from my native town.
I really like Italian cuisine. I love pizza, many spaghetti recipes and their delicious fresh salads. Good company, cold beer and my favorite dessert - profiteroles - lift my senses for beautiful moments.
I love American food. I love hamburger.

My favourite kind of restaurant is one that has very friendly customer service, the menu has to be quite wide and it would be wonderful if they had a playground or a rural area. It is so peaceful.
