[speaker001:] How did you enjoy your family party at "ginger 's"? I hear that they have a lovely menu and buffet.
[speaker002:] Oh, it was great. We had seafood buffet. They do one every Friday. The waiters and waitresses are very good. They are very attentive, but don 't hang around the table.
[speaker001:] I like the buffets they have, but if often order a la carte, because I don 't feel extremely hungry. I like the wine list there too.
[speaker002:] Yes, so do I. they have wines from all over the world. There is a good range of prices to suit every pocket. We ordered some Australian red wine, which tasted delicious and wasn 't expensive.
[speaker001:] Some restaurants allow you to take your own wine and just charge you corkage, but the don 't do that at "ginger 's". what was included in the seafood buffet?
[speaker002:] They had almost every kind of seafood. There were oyster, shrimp, prawns, crabs, and fish. I ate a lot of smoked salmon.
[speaker001:] Did they have lobster?
[speaker002:] No, they didn 't. you could order it from the menu. I think that lobster is too expensive to be included in the buffet.
[speaker001:] Yes, it probably is. I don 't like ordering oysters in restaurants. You never know whether they are fresh.
[speaker002:] I know. I didn 't eat any, but a few people in our group did and no one got sick.
[speaker001:] When you eat out, do you usually eat from the buffet?
[speaker002:] Not usually. I usually just order a main course and have a dessert if I 'm still hungry afterwards.
[speaker001:] Oh, you don 't usually have a starter?
[speaker002:] No, I might have a soup if it 's a cold winter day.
