When booking a lunch or dinner at the restaurant we always anticipate spending some pleasant time in the company of those we love most and, of course, enjoying some good food. Unless you only book your favorite restaurant, suitable for every occasion, you will be happy to try new places. Why do we talk about risk? Well, you never know what the food on the menu will actually look like until you try it for yourself. Unfortunately, it can happen that you are disappointed, not only by the taste, but also by the presentation. Have you ever seen pretentious and unlikely plating like in these images? The people on the receiving end of these dishes were literally blown away when their order came to the table!
