Have you dined with us before?

It's our first time. What do you recommend?

The lamb is our signature dish, and the pasta is popular.

Is the lamb very heavy? I want something lighter.

Then the grilled fish would suit you better.

The fish sounds perfect. I'll take that.

Excellent. Would you like a starter as well?

Just the fish for now, thanks.
