Technically correct, but if the customer is not required to answer, there's no way for the business to enforce the mandate because they can't investigate and validate medical exemptions - and it is not legal to refuse to serve (discriminate against) someone with a medical condition under the ADA.
The restaurant may have misstated some element of minutiae, but they got the core conclusion correct. The mandate is unenforceable, and it's damn sure not the restaurant's job to do the enforcing.

If you are going to get all technical, it's HIPAA, not HIPPA.
