THE RESTAURANT
It was only a few minutes past nine when me and Mark left the cinema. ‘Fancy going to a restaurant for dinner, Sarah?’ he asked. ‘There’s one nearby that’s opened up recently. Frank told me it was really good and was really impressed by the opening event. I wanted to book a table, but I wasn’t sure you’d like to go’.
‘Thanks, but I’m not that hungry and I’m a bit tired’ I said. Not true. I was, and I wasn’t. Cooking is a big part of my life, and I’m really fussy about what I eat. Restaurants could hardly ever meet my expectations. On second thoughts, though, Frank was the only person I knew who was more demanding in this respect, so his good opinion of the place made me somewhat interested and I decided to visit the restaurant after all.
Mark led the way. We turned right, and a few hundred metres up the street, we saw a neon sign. The Cottage, it read. We went inside.
‘Are you sure it’s here?’ I asked. ‘This is a diner, not a restaurant’. I was looking at a long line of simple tables.
‘No, no, it’s OK. Frank told me they also run a diner. The restaurant’s in another part. Excuse me, how do we get through to the restaurant?’ he asked the woman at the bar. ‘Is there another entrance?’
She explained that the main entrance to the restaurant was at the other side of the building but that we could also get in there directly from the diner. Discouraged by the uninspiring design of the diner, I wasn’t expecting much of the restaurant, but, as we went through the door, I felt as if I’d travelled back in time into my grandma’s dining room in her country cottage. Someone had put a lot of effort into making the interior a cosy room, with a fireplace that created a real homely atmosphere.
A moment later, a waiter was beside us. He showed us to a nice table by the window and handed us the menu. I looked at it carefully, as I knew from experience that many restaurants make serious mistakes in their menu designs. They are often either too complicated, do not fit the general design of the restaurant or highlight the prices so there is no feeling of hospitality.
Well, this one perfectly matched the cottage-like décor, with the meals being listed in an elegant way and the price given below in a discreet manner.
Meanwhile, the waiter was back. ‘Are you ready to order?’
