This might dive into various grammatical topics, but I can't seem to figure out what rules this sentence should follow:
Est-ce que c'est possible de réserver une table?
Est-il possible de réserver une table?
Which one is in this case grammatically correct and why? Could you both use them in different instances?
Est-ce que c'est possible vs est-il possible ..?

Est-il possible de + [verb] ? -> slightly formal
