A: For our lunch meeting with the investors, do we have to make a reservation at the restaurant?
B: Usually for lunch, we don't have to reserve a table, they should allow walk-ins. But to be on the safe side, I'll order a table for half-past twelve. Will that suit your
schedule
A: I've arranged to meet them at the restaurant at twelve. Can you make the reservation a little earlier? If we start earlier, it will give us more time for a longer lunch
B: Are you planning on treating the investors to a full course meal?
A: Yes, we'll start with appetizers, followed with a soup and salad, then main dishes of prime rib, and end up with a delicious rich dessert of some sort
B: That' ll be pretty heavy for a mid-day meal, don't you think?
A: As long as we stay away from anything alcoholic, we should be okay
B: With your prime rib, you d better hope nobody's vegetarian
A: We can make some special arrangement if we need to
