Here’s a design for a restaurant or patio table that is lit by a solar powered light.  The Firefly table features nicely integrated solar panels in the top of the table.   Pressing on the center lamp cover causes the lamp to pop up and begin lighting.

This design eliminates the need for temperamental (and romantic) votive candles, or overhead lighting.  There’s also a nice opportunity for branding and messaging via a stencil under the lamp whereby light passes through projecting a word or slogan onto the floor beneath the table.
