Asistencia con el Menú: Una Charla con el Camarero

Lingard

Ms. Sofia is looking for menu recommendations for an extraordinary meal and is intrigued by the Seared Scallops with Mango-Jalapeno Salsa, paired with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, following waiter Michael’s suggestion. Concerned about the spiciness of the dish, she is reassured by Michael’s description of a balanced spiciness that complements the scallops and mango. To start, Michael recommends Grilled Artichoke Hearts with Lemon-Garlic Aioli, which Sofia accepts. With her order placed, Sofia orders sparkling water while she awaits her culinary adventure, appreciating Michael’s attentive service.
