I would have enjoyed SEEING IT.

wearing a decent shirt and removing one's ball cap is not too much to ask while dining is it?

You are absolutely right.
Wearing baseball caps to dinner here in Georgia is fairly common.
The types of restaurants we are referring to, a t-shirt is acceptable, but imo, a ball cap indoors while eating is plain poor manners.
