Several grammar doubts
Hello,
Could you help me with this doubts?
1) Someone wrote " I lunched at the Happy Cafe". I would correct "I had lunch at..." But is the first one wrong?
2) "The best restaurant of all England" Is this statement wrong? I would have written "the best restaurant in England"..
3) Someone wrote: "On Friday I went to the best restaurant ever". I think she should have written something like this "the best restaurant ever seen"... Am I right?
4) "For dessert, I had a vanilla icecream" Is this right?
Thank you in advance,
Soprano

2) I agree with your correction. Edit. I'm changing my mind. I'm sure this is sometimes used casually - perhaps even by good writers of fiction.
3) This is sometimes said casually. (This is the best restaurant ever!) It means "there ever was!"
I'd call it an idiom.

I still would like to ask you:
Number 2: So I cannot correct as wrong "the best restaurant of all England" right?
Number 4: Í´m sorry if I was not clear. My question was if it is ok to say... for dessert I had ***
Thank you again

For dessert I had *** is natural and common.
I would say "the best restaurant in all [of] England," but as I think about your example, I'm increasingly inclined to accept it.
