Ordering Food in a REstaurant

Hopefully, your experiences at ordering food will not be a big problem like Mr Bean (video).  

The first thing to note is that this sample dialogue below can be used in any place where you eat.  So that means at a fast food restaurant (e.g. McDonald's) or at a fancy restaurant (e.g. an expensive French restaurant).
Waiter:                       Good evening everyone. Welcome to the Steak & Salad Restaurant. Here are your menus. Today's                                        special is grilled salmon with a lemon and basil sauce. I'll be back shortly to take your order.
