Ordering lunch and dinner

What else do you recommend?

Waiter:Are you ready to order, sir?
Mr Ryefield:Yes. I´ll have the beef stew for starters and my wife would like tomato soup.
Waiter:One beef stew and one tomato soup. What would you like for the main course?
Mr Ryefield:I´ll have the Cayenne Pepper Steak and my wife would like the Fried Trout with mashed potatoes.
Waiter:I´m afraid the trout is off.
Mrs Ryefield:Oh dear. Err... What else do you recommend?
Waiter:The sole is very good.
Mrs Ryefield:OK. I´ll have that. Do you have any coleslaw?
Waiter:No, I´m sorry, we don´t.
Mrs Ryefield:Just give me a small mixed salad then.
Mr Ryefield:Same for me.
Waiter:Certainly. (...) Would you like something to drink?
Mr Ryefield:Yes, please. May I see the wine list?
Waiter:Certainly. Here you are.
(...)
Mr Ryefield:A bottle of Chablis ‘99, please.
Waiter:Excellent choice!
