Hey, I'd like to make a reservation for this Friday at a nice Italian restaurant.
Sure, I can do that for you. Did you have a restaurant in mind?
Well, I'd like to go somewhere with great food and good atmosphere.
Any particular location you had in mind?
Anywhere in LA within a reasonable distance is fine.
OK. What about Bottega Louie downtown?
That's a good choice, but I feel like I've been there too many times recently. Plus the atmosphere can be a little busy sometimes.
OK, is price an issue?
No, this is for a special occasion with my girlfriend, so I'm ok if it's on the expensive side.
Got it. What about Osteria Mozza? They have excellent reviews online and in print and are known for great Italian cuisine.
That sounds like a good idea. Can you get me a table there for Friday for two?
Absolutely. What time were you thinking?
Let's say 7:30?
Hm. Unfortunately there aren't any tables available for two at 7:30 on that night. They do have tables open at 9 on Friday or 7:30 is available Saturday or Thursday, if you prefer.
Make it 9 on Friday. The time isn't a big issue.
OK, so 9 o'clock on Friday at Osteria Mozza. Is there anything else?
Can you put in a special request to say that it's my girlfriend's birthday?
I sure can!
Thank you.
You're very welcome. I'll email you a confirmation of your reservation for two at Osteria Mozza on Friday at 9 PM. I'll also ad it to your calendar.
