I`d go to the center of the restaurant, catch everybody`s attention and do a
little show (balloon magic or a very intricate multi balloon). That way you keep
busy. New people coming into the restaurant see you in full action, the rest of
the crowd is entertained and maybe some of them will even give you an extra tip.

I don`t do restaurants (there just are no suitable restaurants for this kind of
thing in Belgium except maybe Quick or Mc Donalds, and they have their own), but
this is how I handle pauses when I`m busking.

Hope this helps,
