How about letting the ambiance sound of the outdoors itself serve as the backdrop. My gripe with dining out, (back in pre covid days), was that background music is usually too damn loud. Obnoxiously so. Thereby necessitating those engaging in conversation to end up shouting along with everyone else to the point that the music and shouting to be heard makes a cacophony of sound that degrades the pleasure of food and company. But, I don't partake in high end eateries anyway. Tried them and invariably not impressed, except for the tab. Dives though, that's my choice. You can get some choice cuisine for very little and a rustic unpretentious atmosphere of scenery and fellow diners to boot.
