If you went to a restaurant that had outdoor dining, what kind of "ambiance music" would you want to hear? I'm talking a high end restaurant which has that under normal circumstances indoors. Think "The Laundry" in San Francisco.

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.

I would want something quiet and instrumental. Not too loud that you have to shout to be heard over the music, but not too quiet that you don't notice it. I'm partial to the music of Philip Glass myself, but that's just personal taste.

I also love the idea of letting nature itself be the music. A brook, bird song and the wind in the trees are all relaxing sounds that I think would be delightful.

I'm all for something quiet, maybe just instrumental. I would not want anything loud or obnoxious. If I am going to spend a lot of money on a nice dinner out, I want to enjoy it all (food, music, etc.). I do think you need some music for sure. I wouldn't want to hear people at the other tables.

I am not a fan of any music being played loud if I am at a nice restaurant. I'm not paying for music, I am paying for the food and the date I am with. I only go to nice restaurants for dates. I love most music types but I wouldn't want it loud.

I find music to be distracting, even if it's just quiet background noise or for ambiance. I'll be in the middle of a conversation and then I'll recognize the song. This usually ends in my interrupting myself to point out a song title. Needless to say, the people I'm with can get annoyed after a while. So, I prefer it quiet so I can focus on the people and my meal.

I'm into classical music when alone since it gives me peace but if it's outside and there are other people having no background music might be better. Other than that, nature music would be my best bet because it's chill in general. It's music that can also be listened to while studying.

Hi, My preference would be the sounds of nature.....if they really need to have music some light jazz especially piano would be my next choice.

Good Listening
Bruce

It'll be distracting to engage in conversations if the music would have lyrics so I'll opt to have classical music as a background. And it should lean on mellow ones because there are powerful classical that can be intruding.
