This statement is false. Philip says: "It was hot", but he is referring to the "sexy" behavior of his date, not to the temperature of the restaurant.
This statement is true. Philip says: "First we went to dinner at this trendy new Japanese joint called 'SakeBomb".
Kevin says Philip, "Smart move, ordering ice water... I would have done that in your place too". Kevin is agreeing with Philip's decision to order water instead of wine because he thinks that wine is too expensive.
This statement is true. Kevin says: "Oh yeah I know the place", which indicates that he is familiar with the restaurant "SakeBomb". "To know (a restaurant)" and "to have heard of (a restaurant)" are similar expressions: both indicate being familiar with a restaurant.
