How do you like the food here?

It was divine!
It was the first time for me to eat roasted lamb, and it was indescribably delicious.
Also, the appetizer was impeccably prepared.

It was divine! 
It was the first time for me to eat roasted lamb, and it was indescribably tasty.
Also, the appetizer was immaculately prepared.

1.2. The paragraph is well written, there's nothing to correct or suggest here, so here are a few additional expressions we could use in this situation.
Yes, I loved the lamb too!
Is this your first time coming to this restaurant? Did you try soup here?

It is the first time to visit Canada! My friend told me that I should try roasted lamb when I visit Canada.
I was very lucky to find such a restaurant that has the exquisite food with the great service!
I haven't tried soup yet. What soup do you have?

1.2.3. The paragraph is well written, there's nothing to correct or suggest here, so here are a few additional expressions we could use in this situation.
I am very pleased to hear that!
In our menu, we have soups for every taste! We have vegetable and meat soups, spicy and cream-soups. Would you like to order one?

Wow! I wonder which one I should pick up...
OK, I'd love to have vegetable cream-soup, please.
(After I ask my husband in Japanese) My husband would like to try spicy meat soup.
I heard that lamb is a local food. Do you get vegetables you cook from a local farm too?

1. 'Pick up' (take hold of and lift or move someone or something) is not commonly used in this context, we need 'pick' only.
2. 'Food' is an uncountable noun, so we don't need the indefinite article with it.
Vegetable cream-soup is a good choice! Could you please tell your husband that the spicy soup is very spicy! And if he didn't get used to eating such spicy things, he would better to try something else. I am not trying to persuade you, just warning you.
As for the vegetables, yes. We have several local farms we work with.

Oh, thank you for warning. I didn't expect that.(After asking my husband) My husband likes spicy food, but not very spicy one. Could you serve meat soup which has a mild taste, for example chicken cream-soup or bacon soup if you have them?
Also, we'd like to have dessert afterwards. What kind of dessert do you have?

1. We use the definite article in front of a noun when we believe the listener/reader knows exactly which specific noun we are referring to. You're referring to a specific noun, specific 'warning', so we need the definite article 'the' here.
2. The comma is needed after the phrase 'for example'.
Excellent choice! I will pass on the information to our chef!
By the way, cooking desserts is our chef's specialty! He is an expert at desserts!
I can suggest cakes - vanilla, chocolate, cheesecake; different kinds of muffins, tiramisu, ice-cream.

Oh, I'm so glad to hear that your chef is skillful at cooking desserts! We both have a sweet tooth.
Well, it's difficult for me to choose one.
OK, I'd like a cheesecake, please. My husband would like tiramisu. He's happy because he loves tiramisu but all the other restaurants we visited didn't have it.
We would love to come here again before we leave Canada and try some other dishes!
