At a restaurant

When the server comes back, just say, "We’re ready to order."

We waved the waiter over and said, "We’re ready to order, thanks."

Excuse me, this isn’t what I ordered — I asked for the soup.

She looked at the plate and quietly said, "This isn’t what I ordered."

Sorry, this is a little undercooked — could it go back on the grill?

I cut into the chicken and the center is a little undercooked.

I’m sorry, but there’s a hair in my food.

When you have a sec, could we get some more water?

That was great — could we split the bill evenly?

I think we’re all set — could we get the check, please?

We’re in a bit of a hurry — could we get the check, please?
