Review of a local restaurant

The new restaurant, Bailey’s, on Park Road is a great success. It opened last month

and is now the most popular restaurant in downtown Thornton. It’s smaller than the

others, and it’s definitely more expensie, !ut the food is delicious. It’s easy to get to

!ecause it’s near the !us station and the main parking lot in town.

The owner, Chef "ike Bailey, worked in a !ig #ondon hotel !efore he started the

restaurant, and he learned to cook from some of the !est chefs in the world. $e thinks the

most important thing is to hae fresh food % eerything on his menu is fresh. $e !uys his

meat and egeta!les from local farms, and the fish is from the Thorn Rier. Beliee me %

it’s all delicious&

"y faorite dish on the menu is the roasted chicken. It’s a traditional meal, !ut the

egeta!les are !eautifully cooked and it comes with a special sauce. I loed the desserts.

'or me, the !est dessert is the chocolate cake with homemade ice cream. 'or people on a

diet, it’s not a good idea to go to Bailey’s&

The restaurant is also well(designed and decorated. )ou can see directly into the

kitchen and watch the young chefs at work. They cook *uickly, !ut eerything is always

perfect. The smells from the kitchen are wonderful, and they make you ery hungry& The

serice is also ery good and fast.

Bailey’s is always !usier than the other restaurants in town. Try it soon !ut remem!er

to !ook in adance. +nd don’t eat anything !efore you go&

Example: A lot of people like Bailey’s restaurant. A True ✓ B False C Doesn’t say
