I went to a new steak restaurant last night that opened near my house. I love trying new places. To start the meal, I had an interesting appetizer.

It was some kind of seafood with a spicy sauce on it… Mmm! The main dish, of course, was steak. It was very small and a little tough, though. However, the vegetables were great—nice and fresh, but not too oily. The final thing was the best—the dessert! It was apple pie with a lot of ice cream on it.

I know that I shouldn’t eat so many sweets, but it was delicious!

Have you ever tried that seafood restaurant on Main Street? You should- it’s great! I go There often. In fact, I went there last weekend.

To begin, I had a salad. It was nice and fresh with a great house dressing. My main dish was a fish that I had never tried. I really enjoyed the spices it was cooked in. The vegetables were good—very fresh and tasty. For dessert, I had chocolate cake.

It’s usually very delicious, but this time, it was much too sweet. I couldn’t eat more than two bites! That’s okay, though, because I ‘m on a diet.

My new girlfriend took me to a Chinese restaurant in her neighborhood the other night. It was prerry good.

First we had some egg rolls. They were the best I had ever tasted. Then we ordered the beef and pepper stir-fry. It came in a very interesting sauce—spicy, but not too spicy. We also ordered the steamed vegetables, but they were awful. They were really too soft.

The dessert was a big bowl of fresh fruit. Some of the fruit I had never seen.It was fantastic—and so was my date!

For lunch, my co-worker and I went to a nice little French restaurant near our office. He didn’t fee! like eating much, so he just had a small salad.

I had a large meal, though. First. I had the onion soup, but it was much too salty. For my main dish, I had a piece of pork. It was too dry and had no taste. The vegetables were perfect, though—broccoli and peas.

Those are my favorites. Finally, I had a large bowl of chocolate mousse. It was just like the chocolate mousse I had in France during my last vacation—very creamy and delicious. I think I’ll have it next time, too.
