Restaurant reservations Part 3: Asking about any ongoing promotions or special menus.

💬 [Quería] literally means [I wanted], but in Spain it's a very common polite softener for requests: [Quería reservar] sounds less direct than [Quiero reservar]. You can reuse the same pattern with other requests, like [Quería preguntar una cosa].

💬 [Quería] is often used for polite requests, even when you mean now, not in the past. It's a handy pattern in service situations: [Quería hacer una reserva] or [Quería pedir la cuenta].

💬 [Mañana] can mean [tomorrow] or [morning]; context tells you which one. With [por la noche], as in [mañana por la noche], it clearly means [tomorrow].

🇪🇸 [Claro.] is very normal from staff and sounds friendly and reassuring, not over-familiar. In this context it often means [certainly] more than a literal [clear].
