A SPANISH RESTAURANT

Diane: Hi, Joe. Where were you last month?

Joe: Oh, hi, Diane. I was on vacation in

California.

Diane: California? What was it like?

Joe: Fantastic! The weather was beautiful and the ocean was very warm.

Diane: What was the hotel like?

Joe: Excellent! There was a swimming pool and a private beach.

Diane: Was your wife Monica with you?

Joe: Yes. She loves the sun.

Diane: What about your children? Were they with you?

Joe: No, they weren’t. They were with their grandparents in Chicago.

Diane: Did you and Monica go out for dinner every night?

Joe: Yes, we especially liked Casa Pedro – a small Spanish restaurant across the street. It was very popular with tourists and

it was always crowded.

Diane: Was it trendy and expensive?

Joe: No, it wasn’t. The interior was simple and light. The tables weren’t too close together and the chairs were comfortable and we liked the atmosphere – so friendly

147

and relaxed. The music wasn’t too loud. And it was fairly cheap, only about $20 per person with wine. It was my favorite place for a meal with my wife.

Diane: Oh, really? Was the food good there?

Joe: Oh, yes. The food was very tasty. We absolutely loved it! The choice of dishes and drinks was fantastic.

Diane: Did you try the Spanish cuisine?

Joe: Casa Pedro is a tapas restaurant, so we chose a lot of different small dishes and shared them. Every time we went there we tried something new. And we often ordered the spicy Spanish sausage called chorizo. The food was always fresh and the salads were delicious.

Diane: Did you enjoy desserts too?

Joe: I didn’t usually have dessert but Monica said the cakes were excellent with an espresso.

Diane: Was the service good?

Joe: Yes, the chef was very friendly and the waiters were really helpful. They were always happy to explain the different dishes and recommend the wine as well.
