I have a totally stripped down restaurant.....no aquarium, no piano, no paintings, no bar, etc...& they still get up and talk. Driving me crazy lol
Exactly. I have small restaurants with nothing in them and Sims standing around talking or getting up to go for a jog, wash their hands or talk to other Sims at their tables. They will be seated by the host and then get up again. Not sure how this is acceptable gameplay to some people, especially when it has worked far, far better than this beforehand.

I made a restaurant that had an upstairs "apartment" for aesthetic purposes, but when I had my sims visit, they kept going up there to watch tv instead of staying at their table. :| I blocked the doors with tables, but they'd still try to go up there, so I ended up deleting everything that would draw them away from their seats and that finally got them to behave. It was such a pain.
Yes, TVs and Radios are distractions while they wait for food.
For a good while it didn't matter if there were distractions in the restaurant because Sims would stay seated. Now they're not staying seated with said distractions in the restaurant. They would only use 'distracting' objects if they were waiting to be seated.
Maybe one of these later patches broke the previous patch which actually fixed your problem seveal months ago.
Maybe you weren't aware that having speakers in your restaurant was no longer a problem :) Although, now it seems to be a problem again, so having small restaurants with no decor or speakers could be an ideal intermittent fix for some.
