Good evening. How can I help you?

Good evening. We'd like to go out for dinner, it's already late at night though. We'd like to enjoy local food, and could you recommend some restaurants for us?

自然な表現

Good evening. We'd like to go out for dinner, but it's already late at night though. We'd like to enjoy local food, and could you recommend some restaurants for us?

1. The conjunction is needed after a comma to join two independent clauses.
I see. Let me check what restaurants are still open at this hour. Could you wait for a while, please?

Why not? If possible, could you reserve the seats for us? We can't speak Chinese, and we are worried about the conversation with the staff there.

自然な表現

Why not? If possible, could you reserve the seats for us? We can't speak Chinese, and we are worried about the conversation with the staff there.

1. In this case, we usually use "don't."
Sure, I can try to reserve the seats for you. I can use my language skills to communicate with the staff at the restaurant and make the reservation on your behalf. Can you please give me more information about the restaurant, such as the name, address, and date and time of the reservation?

Actually, I don't have any in my mind. Can you please recommend me some local restaurants?

自然な表現

Actually, I don't have any in my mind. Can you please recommend me some local restaurants?

1. These sentences are correct, but this verb is often overused. You can use "suggest" also.
Certainly, I'd be happy to recommend local restaurants, but I'll need to know your budget and the type of food you're interested in. Could you please specify?

Well, we want to try to eat something casual like local people also enjoy. I don't know much about the price here yet, but I prefer middle level of budget.

自然な表現

Well, we want to try to eat something casual like local people also enjoy. I don't know much about the prices here yet, but I prefer the middle level of budget.

1. You talk in general. That's why the plural form is needed here. "prices."
2. The definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known to the reader.
Well, we have several local restaurants that are open at this hour and serve casual food around here. ABC and XYZ are popular. I would recommend making a reservation at any of these restaurants, especially if you are going during peak hours.

Thank you for the advice. Which is closer? I'd like you to make a reservation of nearer restaurant. Thank you so much for your help.

自然な表現

Thank you for the advice. Which is closer? I'd like you to make a reservation at a nearby restaurant. Thank you so much for your help.

1. Your phrase was unclear and incorrect, so we needed to rephrase it. "at a nearby" is a much better option.
