Have got or do you have?
I'm in a restaurant. A and a waiter asks me:
- Hello, what you would like to eat?
- 1. What do you have? Usually used.
- 2. What have you got? Can be used but is not as polite as the first one.
Which answer is correct first or second?

Both forms are acceptable.
What do you have is more formal and used when talking to a stranger or someone in authority.
What have you got would be used when talking to a friend, because it is more casual or informal.
