However, after about fifteen minutes, the waiter told us that there was no more fish pie. He apologized and suggested ordering something else. I looked at the menu again and decided to have the same as my friends－a salad.

　　When the food came, it was very good. After we finished, we decided to order some desserts（餐后甜点）. The waiter said that, unluckily, it was too late. There wasn't enough time for us to order desserts. He said he was very sorry but our table was booked by another group at nine thirty and we would have to leave.

　　We paid the bill and left feeling very unhappy. It ruined my birthday. Nobody told us when we arrived that there was a time limit (限制). It was very unsatisfactory and I doubt that We'll go to your restaurant again.

Yours faithfully,

Martin Cary
