The document describes ordering food at a restaurant. A host seats a party of 5 guests outside. A server takes drink orders and says they will return to take a food order. When the server returns, the guests ask questions about the lasagna and salad dressings. They then order garlic bread, two lasagnas, spaghetti with meatballs, a salad with balsamic vinaigrette, and chicken parmesan to share.
