If pretentious was a plate...

3oz foie for sure.

I bet it was tasty asf though.

The whole meal was incredible

I thought the plating was beautiful 🤷🏻‍♀️

It is, fam. Also pretentious, but I'll give it its due. Sorry, wasn't trying to denigrate it. Just get a chuckle.

Strictly for pooves

Fair enough

For foie gras was it part of a full tasting menu?

It was! I also had corn agnolotti, halibut with Roubochon potatoes, and Brussels, and an apple tart for dessert. The restaurant is called Copine in Seattle.

Where is the rest of it?

The lavender flower on top of looks like a kids plating.

Wow, amazing presentation… it looks delicious!

You're not wrong. Sometimes the pretentious gets in the way too, like when the sauce is amazing but there's only some little droplets or swishes of it on the plate, because it has to look elegant or sophisticated. Yes, presentation is nice, but not at the expense of actually enjoying the dish.
