It’s for Friday, the 24th, at 7 o’clock.

Okay. Let me repeat back to you the information I have. This is a reservation for the Friday after next for seven at 7 p.m. Is that correct?
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head_dialogue_head.png)
Yes, that’s right. Can we have a table by the window in a non-smoking section? I want to be away from the kitchen, if possible.
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head-08.png)
Our restaurant is all non-smoking. We can’t guarantee a window table, but I’ll note your preference.
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head_dialogue_head.png)
Okay, that’s fine. What’s the parking situation at the restaurant?
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head-08.png)
We have a parking lot behind the restaurant, and we also have valet parking. Do any of the guests have special needs?
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head_dialogue_head.png)
I’m glad you asked. I’ll need two high chairs and four booster seats.
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head-08.png)
I’m sorry, but did you say two high chairs and four booster seats?
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head_dialogue_head.png)
Yes, I did. I’m taking all of my nieces and nephews out to dinner.
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head-08.png)
That sounds nice. It should be a lively evening.

You’re telling me!
