I believe that the responsibility for this band to make a whole place completely empty lies with the owner of the place, since every owner should look after his interests to provide pleasant and quality services to the customers who visit him.
The music that should exist in these places where people go to relax with their friends or family should be harmonious in order to caress the ear of each person while tasting their dinner.
Ambiance music is better for dining...I blame the band but mostly the establishment for allowing it.

That's right.... Lately you go to any place (be it bar-restaurant, cafeteria or other) and they play inappropriate music with respect to the establishment. And that's not to mention that in my area urban music has taken over any player around, and this is not to underestimate the talent of urban musicians, but you have to know the time, place and volume level at which it should be listened to.
I love music, simply love it, but it has to be appropriate and respectful...I think that doesn't always happen these days and that mood-appropriate music is replaced by volume...I don't like it.
