Restaurant Scenario Answers

Did you come up with some responses to yesterday’'s scenarios?  My suggested answers are in italics.

• You have just ordered a wonderful entree, but you don’t know what to drink with it.  You want to ask for the server’s recommendation.
  

What wine pairing would you recommend?  or What would you recommend to drink with that?  I tend to like red wine/white wine.

• You are allergic to nuts.  You need to explain this problem to the server and find out what dishes you can eat.
  

I have a nut allergy.  What is safe for me to eat?

• Your waiter or waitress forgot your drink.  You need to remind him/her about your order.
  

I'm sorry to bother you.  Could you check on my drink when you get a chance?

• You are ready for the check.  You need to call the waiter or waitress.
  

Don't call them or beckon them with your hand.  Just make eye contact and wait for them to approach your table.  Then you can say, "Could I have the check, please?"
