Hi! I have a question. I’ve noticed お店 is always used for restaurants in these conversations. Is it not common to say レストラン? (Textbooks always taught レストラン as restaurant and お店 as shop).

店 includes shops, stores (both online and real) and restaurants.
And yes, we usually call eatery 店.
レストラン is one of the 店. It is more elegant and more expensive than other places such as cafes, noodle shops, and izakayas.

Example:
A: 昨日は結婚記念日でしたよね? どこの店でお祝いしたんですか?
– Yesterday was your wedding anniversary, wasn’t it? Where did you celebrate?

B: 素敵なレストランを予約してくれてると思ってたのに、ラーメン屋さんだった。
– I thought my husband had a reservation at a nice restaurant, but it turned out to be a ramen shop.

I love this, by the way.

As a beginner I’m surprised at how, after some repeated listening, and taking an overnight break, I can understand the basic concept of what these people are saying.

Sure I couldn’t create the sentence myself if someone asked me “Hey! Translate this English sentence into Japanese.” But I do feel like I’m making progress.
