2. Mexican place by the river / don’t feel like / the seafood place near here
3. cafe round the corner / not much choice / a Chinese restaurant
4. Harvey’s restaurant / last time service bad / order a takeaway

Spend a few minutes thinking of three restaurants where you could go and eat with other students in your class. What’s good / bad about them?
