"Could we have a table, please"

Question

In a video lesson I was taking, the phrase, "¿Could we have a table, please?" was translated, ?Tienen una mesa, por favor?" Could you also say, "¿Podriamos una mesa, por favor?" Would the conditional tense be correct here? Thanks.

Answer 1

¿podríamos tener una mesa? is correct.

Answer 2

You could also simply say "somos dos" (o tres lo que soís) and arch an eyebrow?

yes, that is what we do here too, lol - 00494d19, MAY 16, 2010

Answer 3

The difference would be between "Do you have a table available?" and "Would we be able to get a table (at this time)?" Obviously, both of these questions lead to the same end.
