Why "quiet" and not "exotic"???
When I go out with my father (admittedly younger, he's only 89) he wants to hit lively places, try new foods, see what's happening. Sure, sometimes we do quiet and genteel/refined, but for celebrations we tend to go somewhere celebratory!
I had a great aunt (who passed away almost 30 years ago) who in her 90's used to go with her girlfriends to every single new restaurant on their opening week. I have a relative here in town who is in her 80's who tries to do the same thing.
Some in their 90's do want peace and quiet, but it's not universal.
