Hi Ryan. I'm looking for a nice place to have dinner.
Certainly. What kind of ambiance are you thinking about?
I'd like something hip and trendy.
Which city are you in now?
LA. Can you suggest some nice places downtown?
Sure thing. There's Pok Pok, the brainchild of Andy Richter. There's also Bestia, an Italian place.
Which place would it be best for sitting for a few hours eating at a leisurely pace and watching people?
Bestia for sure. People flock there from miles away for the food as well as the scene.
Great, can you make a reservation for two then?
Of course. What day?
This Saturday night.
I just checked Open Table and they have no openings for Saturday.
That's fine. Sunday or Monday could work.
All right. I see that they have openings from 6 pm onwards on Monday.
Great. Can you reserve for four people at 7 pm please?
Absolutely. Did you want to sit indoors or outdoors on the deck? There have heaters on the deck.
I would prefer to sit near the kitchen so we can watch the cooks if possible.
Done. I've got you a table with a kitchen view indoors.
Thanks so much. I appreciate your fine work as always.
No problem. It's what I'm here for. You're confirmed for an in indoor table for four people on Monday at 7 pm at Bestia in downtown LA.
I assume you'll text me a confirmation as per usual.
But of course. Anything else you need?
Not at this time. Thanks again!
You're welcome. Enjoy the dinner on Monday.
