dine ダｲﾝ v)食事をする

Have you eaten yet?

No, I haven't, and I'm hungry.

Me too. Let's go out for dinner.

Where to?

What about Joe's Italian?

How many times have you eaten there?

I eat there a lot. It's one of my favorite places.

I went there two weeks ago and the service was terrible.

Really? Then let's go someplace else.

What do you suggest?

How about the Royal Indian?

It's not far from here.

I've never heard of it. Is it good?

Yes, I've been there several times, and I've never been disappointed.

OK. Let's try it. I haven't eaten Indian food for a long time.

You won't be disappointed, and the prices are reasonable.

Ah, so you mean I'm going to pay.

Well, that would certainly be nice.

What about reservations?

If we get there early enough, we won't need them.

I hope you're right.

Don't worry. If you have to wait, I'll pay the bill.
