That may have been a bad signal issue in the restaurant. If the signal is bad the phone boosts the power to the antenna to try to maintain connection, and that can drain the battery faster than anything else.
It could also be a slight battery calibration issue. I tend to think these things are old wives tales, but many people suggest draining the battery down until it won't power the display and then plugging in to full charge to calibrate the battery pack once a month or two months. I think the calibration is done anytime you charge to full from any point, but once every couple of months won't hurt.
