The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1180

It was clear the restaurant had solid ratings.

However, it was another one of those trendy internet-famous spots.

Claire had been burned by places like this before.

If the food turned out to be mediocre, she would be thoroughly disappointed.

She quickly selected three dishes and a soup.

"I don't have any dietary restrictions, so go ahead and pick whatever you like."

She had gone with their signature items—two spicy dishes and one mild one.

Meiko took the tablet and added two more signature dishes.

She ordered based on the top recommendations.

She had checked in with Sloane Sterling before coming, confirming that sticking to the signatures was a safe bet.

In total, they had five mains, a soup, and Golden Honey Toast for dessert.

The dessert arrived first. Claire grabbed a piece of the perfectly toasted, crispy bread and dipped it into the ice cream in the center.

She took a bite and nodded in approval.

It definitely wasn't a total disaster.

Trendy restaurants might rely heavily on hype, but they usually had at least one redeeming specialty.

Otherwise, no amount of marketing could keep them in business.

Since the dessert was a hit, Claire began looking forward to the actual meal.

The main courses weren't quite as good as the toast, but they were still decent.

Claire thoroughly enjoyed her meal.

She had eaten breakfast early and was famished.

Meiko ate with practiced elegance, and Claire matched her refined manners effortlessly.

It was a good thing they were seated in a private room; otherwise, they would have drawn an uncomfortable amount of attention in the main dining area.

Throughout the meal, Claire remained silent, and Meiko refrained from sparking up a conversation.

She had studied Solenian etiquette extensively, which included the golden rule of eating in silence.

Watching Claire enjoy the food with such an appetite ended up making Meiko eat far more than usual.

By the time she realized it, she was completely stuffed.
