Studies so far seem to disagree with you that going to a restaurant 'isn't a significant risk'. “...restaurants were by far the riskiest places” for new infections, “about four times riskier than gyms and coffee shops, followed by hotels,” https://sf.eater.com/21561143/covid-19-restaurants-indoor-dining-stanford-chan-zuckerberg https://sf.eater.com/21561143/covid-19-restaurants-indoor-di... "...case-patients were more likely to have reported dining at a restaurant (aOR = 2.4, 95% CI = 1.5–3.8) in the 2 weeks before illness onset than were control-participants." https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6936a5.htm https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6936a5.htm

that’s (loosely) inferred correlation. we can’t draw conclusions from those studies alone (and the reporting biases of those sources need to be considered too). what a study like that provides is leads for follow-on studies, ones that may get us more definitive results. it’s entirely possible that restaurant goers are correlated with higher-risk populations, like essential workers, who contract the virus from other places.
