Choose a restaurant without a twenty-message debate
Get the group's firm constraints before collecting restaurant names. A shortlist is useful when everyone can see why each place fits and what remains unconfirmed.
A text to start with
Help choose dinner for eight next Thursday near this station. Budget is about forty dollars each before drinks. We need a vegetarian option and a reasonably quiet room. Find three candidates with official menu links, and list what I should confirm by phone before booking.
Example request. Change the details to fit your situation.What to check in the reply
Check menus on the restaurants' own sites and note whether prices include any service charge. A review calling a place quiet does not guarantee a quiet table on your date. Group availability, access needs and cancellation terms require confirmation. Ask the assistant to separate published information from guesses about the experience. Restaurant research is not a reservation.
The next step
Share the three options with one short decision deadline. Once the group picks, contact the restaurant or use its booking page and inspect the final terms. Save the confirmation and tell everyone the exact location. If the assistant cannot verify a detail, leave it as a question for the venue.
