three please you tell them the number of
people that you are total
so that the host can bring you to an
appropriate table
a table for two please a table
for five please could i please see a
menu
could i please see a menu usually
menus are given to you as soon as you
sit down at your table
but if that's not the case and you need
to ask this is a polite way to do it
could i please see a menu i'd like to
try this
dish i'd like to try this dish
when looking at a menu hopefully you'll
find something you want to eat
i'd like to try this dish could you
leave out the onions
could you leave out the onions if
there's an ingredient in the dish that
you're ordering that you don't want
you can always ask the waiter if it
could be prepared without that
ingredient
so for example i might say could i get
the burger but with no cheese
could you pass the salt could you pass
the salt
when you're at a restaurant especially
if you're at a big table with a lot of
people
you might not always be able to reach
things
so you would ask could you pass me the
salt
could you pass me the ketchup could you
pass me another napkin
waiter waiter a waiter is someone who
takes your order
and brings you food in america and in
many other western countries
it's more polite to call a waiter to
your table by simply saying
excuse me or if you see another waiter
walking by but it's not your waiter
you can always say excuse me if you see
our waiter could you please let them
know to come to our table
can we get separate checks can we get
separate checks
this is actually something that's very
common especially in america
if you might go out with a group of
friends or even if you're on a date
sometimes you might want to get separate
checks pay for your own things
that way you can all pay separately just
for what you yourself
ordered and you won't have to worry
about owing each other money
or calculating off a big huge bill

any specials today
a special at a restaurant is a dish that
isn't usually on the menu
it's something that's special but it's a
special
that the chef is offering that day or
that
week or that month so sometimes if you
don't see what the specials are you'd
ask your waiter
excuse me are there any specials today

how you request
