This week I tried two new restaurants-Michelle’s and Anton’s. They are both French restaurants downtown.

Michelle’s is a place with about twenty table. The waiters and waitresses are very friendly, and I had a chocolate cake and coffee. The chicken was delicious, but the cake was too dry. The meal cost about twenty dollars.

Anton’s is a much bigger restaurant, and it was very crowded on that night. I waited twenty minutes for a table. Anton’s is noisier than Michelle’s, and the waiter was very slow with my meal. I ordered soup and a steak(牛排) with fried potatoes and vegetables. The soup wasn’t very hot. The steak was OK, but the vegetables weren’t very good. For dessert, I had ice cream. The meal was really expensive-about forty-five dollars.
