The Scene
You are sitting at "The Silver Oak," a high-end restaurant known for its farm-to-table menu and extensive wine list. The lights are low, the napkins are linen.
Phase 1: The Arrival
Server walk up to your table with two menus and a bottle of chilled water.
Server: "Good evening. Welcome to The Silver Oak. My name is Julian, and I'll be taking care of you tonight. To start, may I offer you some sparkling or still water? And would you like to hear about our Chef’s specials before I give you a moment with the menu?"
How do you respond? Quick Tip: In a fancy setting, instead of saying "I want water," try:
"I'll take still water, please.", "Sparkling would be lovely, thank you."
