Well folks, just have to say that many places are quiet this year ( although not all ), and it varies from week to week. The old end of the village has been particularly quiet.
As for empty Restaurants - they all start off empty each day, and someone has to be the first to walk in! They shouldn't necessarily be judged for being quiet - it doesn't mean they're not worth trying, or indeed that they are always empty. The Olive Press has had quite a number of busy nights - we've seen it from across the road!!
As a tourist in previous years, I understand what you are saying - but as someone who has lived here for a few years, I can see the other side too!
