Hi Jan. I'm looking for a fancy steak restaurant to book for my wife's birthday
Okay - how fancy?
Oh, fancy - like suit and tie, evening dress, fancy
Okay - any particular price range to target or avoid?
Medium to high - no real limit for me
Okay, there is a choice of a few. My recommendations are The English and Jeff Ruby's
Okay - does one have a better wine list than the other?
Yes, The English has a far superior list.
Okay, let's look there please.
Okay, when is the reservation for?
I need it two weeks from tomorrow - Saturday.
Okay - any particular time?
Yes, 7:45 seating.
Okay - anything else I should know?
Yes, I want a two person table away from the kitchen - preferrably a corner
I called. The restaurant can't accomodate everything
Okay, what is the issue?
You can do 7:15 on Saturday or do the 7:45 but on Friday
Okay, the date is most important. I can make 7:15 work.
Okay - also, they can't guarantee the table location
Fine, but please put in the request on my reservation anyway
Done. Anything else?
