Ordering food at a restaurant with 私は何々がいい


Quite some time ago, I came across the phrase

> 私は何々がいい

in the sense of "I'd like to have (dish)" when ordering food in a restaurant.
However, due to the long time elapsed since then, I can't say for sure anymore
whether this was really the way it was phrased. So, I'd like to know if this
is the correct phrasing and what its connotations are. I remember it to be
fairly nonchalant, if I'm not mistaken.




I wouldn't recommend saying （私は）XXがいい。 when ordering food at a restaurant; it
might sound like a little kid saying "I want this!"

The most natural and common phrases for ordering food or drinks at a
restaurant, cafe, bar etc., would be like:

>   * XX（を）お[願]{ねが}いします。 -- "I'd like to have XX, please." (polite)
>   * XX（を）[二]{ふた}つ、お願いします。 -- "I'd like to have two XXs, please." (polite)
>   * XX（を）ください。 -- "I'll have XX."
>   * XX（を）[三]{みっ}つください。 -- "I'll have three XXs."
>   * XX（を）もらえますか。 -- "Can I have XX?"
>   * XX[一]{ひと}つ。 -- "One XX, please." (casual)
>   * XX[二]{ふた}つ。 -- "Two XXs, please." (casual)
