Same subject but subjunctive still used?

Same subject but subjunctive still used?

The lesson states that if the subject is the same in both clauses you would omit que and use the infinitive in the second clause. Why is the subjunctive and not the infinitive used in the following example?

 Nosotros preferiríamos que fuésemos al restaurante del centro.

We'd prefer if we all went to the restaurant in the centre.
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using the Spanish subjunctive with verbs that express "wish" and "feeling" (conditional in the main clause)"
