Non-fast food restaurants spend a lot on locations (for nice views, people watching, etc.) interior build-out (fancy design, murals, furniture, music systems, etc.), and staff (attractive young hosts, servers, etc.). They also market themselves in particular ways to bring in specific groups of clientele. None of that has to do with the food in any way. I assume this is what the parent poster means by “entertainment”: all the reasons you would go to a restaurant other than food.
