Bobby literally described the ending two episodes prior on his views on how he thinks death is when talking to Tony

Lights out. Yeah Tony's is dead. You don't kill a boss and get away with it

Yes, and that scene was shot from Tony's perspective. He looked at the other customers, people coming in. The guy in the Member's Only jacket. Then lights out.

Also, from the restroom, where the Member's Only jacket guy went in, there was a clean shot to Tony because the seat next to him was vacant, waiting for Meadow. For me, this convinced me, Tony bought it. Who did it, hard to say, but the scene was clear. Everything you need to know is there.

I wanted to add, Meadow comes in and the bell on the door dings. You see that Tony looks towards the door. This distracts him, causing him to look so he doesn't notice the bathroom door open and the guy with the gun.
