I would disagree that the Rain Forest cafe is an automatic LH in the seating area. One still must apply the definitions in the body and use the Annex as TYPICAL examples. Few would call the seating area stuffed full of stuff a typical seating area. Same on the Haunted house. It isn't simply that it is an Assembly occupancy from the building code but contents of the room per 13. Granted descriptors of low , moderate , and high (on quantity and combustibility) can not be readily quantified but a typical seating area is low whereas others are appropriate to challenge.
