'Of course you're very dear to me - that meal just cost a fortune.'

"Compliments to the chef! Pass it on."

'Waiter...my entrée fell over.'

'Wait until you taste the artisanal water. It's not to be believed.'

'No, I'm not the sommelier; in fact, I don't even work here - I've just always wanted to try this wine.'

"How fresh is the calamari?"

"Which wine would you pair with the complimentary bread and butter?"
