Restaurant background music: What do you think?

as well as seasonally adjusted ('Fool in the Rain' just doesn't have the same punch in Winter as in Spring.)

yet a seasonally adjusted "Ramble On" doesn't have the same punch in Spring as in Winter..

I guess what it all boils down to, is taking into account music, decor and surroundings with all the rest of what makes up the atmosphere of a restaurant; it's a tough formula. In a lot of cases, a great kitchen and staff unfortunately doesn't have real input on the other stuff. The owner of a restaurant might have great taste in food, but lousy taste in presentation. There are so many variables. In general, I would say turn the sound down to the point people aren't thinking about it more than the restaurant. Conversation could be about the music playing, but in a restaurant without a live band, it shouldn't be the focus. I think the diners should really be trying to figure out(and enjoy) what they're eating.
