Eating with friends

On Feburary 28th, I went to an Italian restaurant with my friends.

This restaurant is located on ZhuJiang Road and is called TaKe Restaurant.The restaurant was not very big but so warm that I felt very comfortable.Before I began to take a seat, the music went into my ears.There was a TV hanging on the roof which was playing the NBA game between Huston Rocket and Cleveland Cavalier and I was interested in this match so I watched it for a long time before other friends of mine came.We called the waiter to give us the menu so that we can know the information of the dishes of this restaurant and the waiter also introduced some famous delicious dishes to us.Diversity pictures of dishes were shown on the menu and it made me feel very hungry.Then I ordered a spaghetti with curry in it.As we were going to make a film from school assignment,we chose this restaurant for the shooting scene.So I did not take the spaghetti until the shooting work was done,but the spaghetti was totally cold by then.Though it was cold,it was still very delicious because of the curry.The spaghetti was a little bit saulty,so it fit my taste. I remembered one thing which was funny that I ordered a cola,but the waiter did not give me until the last minute,maybe he had forgotten.

In fact, my feeling of this Italian restaurant is nothing special, after eating in this restaurant.I think most of the western reataurants are alike in this or that way: fine interior decoration;quiet atmosphere;people talk peacefully;background music and good service.I have been to western restaurants many times before with my parents and I feel the big difference between western and Chinese food lies in that Chinese food serves rice and many different kinds of dishes while western food serves steak, salad, bread.There are more people eating in Chinese restaurants than in western restaurants.

TaKe restaurant is a nice place and I will recommend my friends to eat here.
