But if the restaurant states that they don't accept cash, then you agreed to those terms.
The whole point of legal tender is that it overrides any terms you may have agreed to beforehand.
That's not accurate. It's merely establishing the default behavior.
It depends somewhat on the jurisdiction. Some courts honor contracts which specify payment in a specific form rather than legal tender. Most do not.
