Dear Ama,

I’m very happy to hear from you again after such a long silence. I hope you’re doing well! It’s been a while since we had our usual ‘girls talk.’ Anyway, I’m writing to get a detailed insight about the restaurant you mentioned before.

Do you remember when you praised a restaurant you visited recently? I would love to know more about it, especially since I’m planning for my upcoming birthday party. I’ve been looking for a spacious and beautiful venue with delicious dishes. However, it’s been quite challenging, as many restaurants that offer unique experiences are already fully booked for the upcoming festival in town.

I did find one restaurant with tasty meals. Although their space isn’t as large as I had hoped, it should be suitable for hosting most of my guests.

I thought of you and remembered that you once recommended a restaurant to me for its exceptional service and great food. I would love to know more about them, especially the dishes they offer. If you have any recommendations from their menu that would be suitable for the party, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you so much!

Your friend,

Lydia
