- Person A: "Hey, everyone, have you decided what to order, or do we need a few more minutes?"
- Person B: "I think I've decided. The menu is quite extensive, isn't it? I'm going to try the chef's special lasagna. What about drinks? Any suggestions?"
- Person C: "I heard their smoothies are great. I'll have a strawberry smoothie. And for the main course, the barbecue ribs sound tempting."
- Person D: "I'm still undecided. The pasta dishes look good, but so do the salads. What do you guys think?"
- Person A: "If you want something light, the Caesar salad is a good choice. I'm going for the grilled salmon with steamed vegetables. It's supposed to be their signature dish."
- Person B: "That sounds healthy. Maybe I'll change my order to that. Also, should we get some appetizers for the table?"
- Person C: "Great idea! How about the garlic bread and the fried calamari?"
- Person D: "Perfect. I love calamari. And can we also order a pitcher of lemonade for the table?"
- Person A: "Sounds good to me. Let's call the waiter and place our orders."
- Waiter: "Good evening! Are you ready to order, or do you need more time?"
- Person B: "We're ready. We'd like to start with garlic bread and fried calamari as appetizers. For drinks, a pitcher of lemonade, please."
- Waiter: "Excellent choices. And what will you be having for your main courses?"
- Person C: "I'll have the barbecue ribs, please."
- Person D: "I'll go with the Caesar salad."
