Assistant, it looks like I need to take my friend from out of town to dinner this Thursday the 28th.
Any idea of what you'd like?
Well, Chicago has some great Ramen noodle places, or so I've heard.
Well, one near you is Ramen-san. It's got good reviews.
Let's give that a try. There's two of us, and we're free about 7 pm.
Please hold while I call them.
Ok.
So, it appears that they have NO free reservations at 7... but they might have a 7:30?
Ok
Please hold.
Sure.
Alright, so the 7:30... that's at the bar. Is that ok?
Ooof. I'd rather not. Let's try another restaurant. 
I can do that. Another place that has good reviews is Yusho.
Ooo, I've heard of them. Yes, see what they have.
Ok, please hold.
Yup.
It appears they have a 7:30, and it's a real table, not at the bar!
Yes!!
Well, I booked it for you, so you are all set!
Thanks so much!!
You are welcome!
