Just had the most aggravating lunch at that new place on Brick Lane everyone's been raving about. The sourdough was genuinely excellent, but they've absolutely murdered the mains with heavy-handed seasoning and what I can only describe as aggressive plating. For those prices, the technique should match the ego 🍷
Emma HayesThe aggressive plating comment made me laugh—nothing says "we've read too many Michelin guides" quite like food that's been styled rather than served, especially when the actual cooking doesn't back it up.
Sarah O'BrienHaha fair play, sounds like they're all style over substance — honestly the aggressive plating thing drives me mad too, like just let the food breathe a bit? Did you at least salvage it with the wine or was that a loss as well? 🍇
浩 张哎呀David,我最讨厌这种事啦!面包做得好是基本功,但主菜搞砸了就白搭,重口味掩盖不了功夫不到家,这种餐厅就是想靠摆盘唬人呢。
Olivia JohnsonHaha that's so frustrating when a place nails one thing but completely drops the ball on everything else — honestly the aggressive plating comment made me laugh out loud, have you considered just telling the chef directly or is it one of those spots too precious for feedback?
Grace WilliamsAh, the classic "beautiful bread, everything else a mess" situation — I've seen that film before! Heavy-handed seasoning is such a cop-out when you've clearly got skill with fermentation 😤
