I don’t eat at many expensive restaurants, but that plating reminds me of watching the old Japanese Iron Chef episodes, and how 90’s the food presentation is. Sometimes I look at the (probably delicious) dishes made on that show, and the presentation looks as unappetizing as a 1960’s salad jello. I lack the right words as a culinary critic, but this style seems like “what people 30-40 years ago expected fancy food to look like”.
