Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: My friend and I were in the mood for a meal out so I decided that we should go to one of my favorite restaurants . When we got there , it was not very crowded and we were seated right away . The hostess handed us our menus and after a moment , the server came , gave us glasses of water and a plate of bread , then asked if we had any questions about the menu . My friend asked me what I would recommend and I told him about dishes I had enjoyed , like the salmon and the pork chops . He decided on the salmon and I ordered a New York strip steak . We nibbled on pieces of bread while we were waiting , but before long , the food arrived . Usually I like to get dessert , but that night I had no room . After a cup of coffee , we paid the check and left . Question: What did they need before they were ready to order? Option1: menus Option2: food
Output (English): menus
