While it's incredible to go out for dinner again finally, the newly eased restrictions of ten people in an establishment at a time can make a restaurant feel a little quiet and lonely - especially a large restaurant, designed to cater to large groups.

In an attempt to make his customers feel more comfortable, the restaurant's empty tables are now occupied by cardboard cutouts and the silence is broken by a background track of chatter as if it were a bustling Friday night.
