a spanish restaurant
Diane: Hi, Joe. Where were you last month?
Joe: Oh, hi, Diane. I was on vacation in California.
Joe: 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. Though it was very popular with tourists and it was often crowded.
Diane: So it wasn’t trendy and …
Joe: Of course, not! The interior was simple and light. But the tables weren’t too close together and the chairs were comfortable. We liked the atmosphere there – so friendly and relaxed. And the music wasn’t too loud. And it was fairly cheap, only about $20 per person with wine. I was my favorite place for a quiet meal with my wife.
Diane: Oh, really? Was the food good there?
Joe: Oh, yes. The food was very tasty. We absolutely loved it! We often had meals there. The choice of food and drinks was fantastic.
Diane: Did you try any new dishes?
Joe: Every time we went to Casa Pedro we tried something new. Casa Pedro is a tapas restaurant, so we chose a lot of different small dishes and shared them. An often ordered the spicy Spanish sausage called chorizo. The food was always fresh and the salads were delicious.
Diane: Did you enjoy the dessert 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 waiters were really helpful. They were always happy to explain the different dishes and recommend the wine as well. And the chef was very friendly and cooked wonderful food.
