Today is your mother's birthday, and you treated her out to dinner at a fine dining restaurant. Ask how she likes the food, the restaurant, etc. Start conversations about how you are doing at school/work.

I still have a lot of work that I haven't finished yet, however, it's great = I'm glad that I can make time to have dinner with you.
Did you like the food? Even though it's been a long time ago= while, I remember that you liked traditional Korean dishes.
To me, it honestly taste decent, but I love their service and mood in the restaurant.=For me, the taste was just decent, but I really like the restaurant’s service and atmosphere.
