SARAH Good evening! Welcome to "Nona restaurant "!
Can I start you off with
some drinks while you learn our menu? We have a fantastic selection of house-made sodas and fresh fruit juices, or perhaps some sparkling water with a squeeze of citrus? LIAM (Eyes glued to the menu) Wow, this looks amazing! So many choices... I'm torn between brunch that includes roasted vegetables and the herb-crusted chicken with gravy and creamy mashed potatoes. CHLOE (Leaning over Liam's shoulder) Oooh, that chicken sounds incredible! I have never tried it before. I bet the mashed potatoes are whipped to perfection. AMARA Decisions, decisions! I'm drawn to the vegetarian option - the lentil Shepherd's pie with a side dish of steamed seasonal greens. It sounds so hearty and no processed food at all. SARAH Excellent choices!. The herb-crusted chicken is a classic for a reason - we use fresh herbs from our own rooftop garden, and the mashed potatoes are indeed whipped to a delightful cloud-like texture. LIAM (Smiling) Decisions getting even tougher here! CHLOE Maybe we can ask about portion sizes? Sharing a side dish might be a good idea. SARAH Absolutely! Our portions are quite generous. Sharing a side is a great way to experience multiple flavors. The Shepherd's pie is a fantastic choice for vegetarians - we use a rich lentil blend with a hint of smoky paprika, and the steamed greens are always locally sourced and perfectly cooked. AMARA (Nodding enthusiastically) That sounds incredible! Maybe I could even add a side of grilled halloumi cheese for a bit of protein. SARAH A wonderful idea! We source our halloumi from a local cheesemaker - it grills beautifully and would pair perfectly with the Shepherd's pie. LIAM Alright, I'm convinced! I'm going for the pan-seared salmon. With a side of those creamy mashed potatoes, of course. CHLOE Me too! The herb-crusted chicken sounds too good to pass up. Mashed potatoes for me as well, please. AMARA (Smiling brightly) The Shepherd's pie with grilled halloumi sounds like a perfect match for me. Thanks for all the amazing recommendations, Sarah! SARAH My pleasure! Is there anything else I can get you to start with perhaps? We have a selection of house-made artisan breads and dips, or some fresh calamari fritters that are a real crowd-pleaser. LIAM (Looking around the table at his friends) Maybe we could share a basket of those calamari fritters as an appetizer? Sounds like a fun way to kick things off! CHLOE Great idea, Liam! I can't wait to dig in! SARAH Fantastic! I'll get those coming right up for you, along with your drinks. Enjoy your meal!
