Good afternoon. I have a {input: reservation} in the name of Mike Vince. |

Ah yes, Mr. Vince. That’s right. Is this table OK? |

I'm sorry. You know our reservation is {input: for a table for two} people, but now there are three of us. Is that table over there free? |

Just one moment... Yes. No problem. Can I take your coats? |

Thank you. |

This way, gentlemen. |

I'm sorry... |

Don't worry. I can have a salad or something. |

Well, they also do {input: an excellent roast duck} here. You should try it. It's really delicious. |

{input: That sounds nice}. I'll have that. |

Can you help me with the menu? What's paella? |

It's Spanish. It's a kind of rice dish. It's {input: made with seafood}. |
| Kirill: |
Right. I think I'll have that. |

Are you ready to order? ... Would you like a starter? |

Yes, please. What would {input: you recommend}? |
| Waiter: |
Well, the snails in garlic butter are very tasty. And the tomato soup is also very good. |
