Entering a restuarant (レストランにて)
Diner-style or reasonably priced restaurants:
大衆向けのレストランでは
These types of restuarants don't usually need a reservation. When you walk into the restaurant, the staff will greet you, count how many people you are and probably say something like: "Table for two?" to which you can just reply "Yes, thanks". He or she will then take you to a table.
日本と同様に大衆向けのお店では通常、予約は不要です。入店すると、お店のスタッフは挨拶して、"Table for two?"(お二人様ですか？)のように人数をたずねます。それには "Yes, thanks" のように答えてください。それから席に案内されます。
Popular or more expensive restaurants:
人気店や高級店では
These types of restaurants often need a reservation so when you enter, the staff will greet you and then say something like: "Do you have a reservation?". Here is some useful language to know:
Waiter: Good evening, do you have a reservation?
You: Yes, I have reservation under the name of Suzuki. We booked a table for 2 at 7pm.
Waiter: Good evening, do you have a reservation?
You: Actually, no we don't. Do you have a table available?
Waiter: Yes, we do. / Sorry, I'm afraid we are fully booked.
こちらも日本と同様ですが、人気店や高級店では予約が必要な場合があります。入店すると "Do you have a reservation?"のようにきかれます。そんな時、次のような表現が便利です：
“Yes, I have reservation under the name of Suzuki. We booked a table for 2 at 7pm.” (鈴木で予約をとっています、７時に２名です)
“Actually, no we don't. Do you have a table available?” (予約はとっていません、席はありますか？)
ウエイターは次のように言います。
“Yes, we do. / Sorry, I'm afraid we are fully booked.” (はい、ございます / 恐れ入りますが満席です)
In most Japanese restuarants, your check is given to you before the end of the meal and you can pay at the cash register as you leave the restaurant.
In most other countries, you need to pay your check before leaving the table. Say to the waiter "Excuse me, could I have the check please?" and he or she will take your payment.
Now double check your understanding by reading the Japanese translation:
| 1. ・・・の名前で予約してあります。 | 1. I have a reservation under the name of... |
| 2. 何がおすすめですか。 | 2. What do you recommend? |
| 3. どのように調理いたしましょうか。 | 3. How would you like that done? |
| 4. 申し訳ありませんが切らしております。 | 4. I’m sorry, but we are all out of that. |
| 5. 代わりに特上リブをお願いします。 | 5. I’ll have the prime rib instead. |
| 1. 注文する | 1. place your order |
| 2. 前菜として | 2. as an appetizer |
| 3. メインディッシュとして | 3. for my main course |
| 4. 本日のスペシャルメニュー | 4. today’s specials |
| 5. (ドレッシングなどをかけずに)添える | 5. have it on the side |
We'll be adding a review quiz in the near future.

If you decide to go to a bar after the restaurant, you’ll still need to tip.
Usually it’s $1 per drink.
However, if it's an open bar, you might want to consider $2 for the first drink to ensure that you get better service for the rest of the evening.
