Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: Last night our family went out to eat at one of our favorite restaurants . We had made a reservation a few days before . When we arrived , the hostess showed us to our table and gave us menus . When he brought our drinks a few minutes later , he told us about some special dishes that were n't on the menu . We were ready to order , so he went around the table and took each of our orders . Our appetizers came next , and we all shared so everyone could have a taste of a few different dishes . We laughed and talked while we ate , and when we were finished the waiter cleared our plates and brough special dessert menus . Everything looked delicious , but we were so full that no-one had room for dessert . We decided we would come back another time just for dessert . We asked the waiter to bring the check , which we paid along with a generous tip for the waiter who had taken very good care of us . Question: When were the drink orders taken? Option1: after the meal orders Option2: before the meal orders
Output (English): before the meal orders
