Vocabulary Unit 1 Lesson 1

Master restaurant vocabulary using context clues!

Read the scenario. Use the context clues to figure out which vocabulary word completes the sentence! Farmingdale has a new restaurant, Whiskey Down Diner and it is already a popular spot! Located on Main Street, I visited the restaurant yesterday afternoon and the place was filled with diners of all ages. The menu includes a variety of foods. There are also vegetarian dishes prepared with products grown on local farms. The salad greens tasted so fresh that I could almost believe I had just plucked them from a garden. The dressing was light and not oily, and I sniffed a pleasant ginger aroma. There were many appetizers to choose from, but I sampled two. The chicken wings were spicy and moist. I nibbled, trying not to devour them all. The potato rolls arrived still steaming and tasted delicious. I limited myself to one so that I would still have room for the main dish. For the entree, I selected grilled chicken and pasta. The abundant serving was more than enough for one person. I savored the lemon and pepper flavors in the chicken. The pasta was wide, flavorful noodles that were neither too soft nor too firm, but cooked just right. The dessert offerings included thick chocolate cake, homemade ice cream and pudding, and a nutritious fruit plate for those who prefer healthful fare. With its reasonable prices and polite and fast service, Whiskey Down Diner is sure to become Farmingdale's favorite! Use the Words Correctly in Writing! Rewrite each sentence in your own words.
