Hello there, viewer! Great to see you again. Fine dining is a very pleasant experience: we go to an awesome restaurant, order our favorite dishes and savor the taste in a great ambience. This lesson will show you how to place your order and speak to the staff in a fine dining restaurant.

Listen to them all, and check out the vocabulary section towards the end. And it’s a good idea to practice the lines by pausing the lesson and repeating the dialog anywhere you want to!

Let’s get started now!!

 

Ordering Wine.

 

Joy: Hi, my name is Joy and I will be your waitress. Can I get you started with anything?

 

Ciara: I would like to order something from your wine list.

 

Joy: Here it is. You can select from this menu.

 

Ciara: Okay, I’d like to order a bottle of red wine. I’ll have the 2005 Napa Valley Merlot.

 

Joy: Good choice. I’ll be right back with your wine.

 

Ciara: Thank you.

 

Ready to Order.

 

Waitress: Hi. Are you ready to order?

 

Sean: Not really. I’m pretty confused. Can you suggest something good?

 

Waitress: Of course. Our specials are the New York steak and crispy roasted lamb.
