Describe how you would have plated the food differently. I'm sure the chef could use your expertise here.
If you have to ask, then you will never know.
Touche'
The food was good and I would go back without question. I like having an option like this in the BR (I go to NO a couple of times a month to eat) it's nice not having to drive out of town. People here are frequently bitching about all the chains we have in BR and when a non chain restaurant with good food opens they bitch about something as petty as plating.
I guess you get what you give.

it is a fair criticism
they are obviously trying to plate creatively, thus it is fair to criticize if/when they fail at that
I doubt it stops anyone from going

I wouldn't call it "bitching about plating". I think it's the same as opining on the food, atmosphere, decor, service etc... It's part of the whole package.

Like Salmon just said, they are obviously stressing that aspect as one of their main dining experiences. Thus my criticism.
I doubt you see anyone on here critique the plating at Zeeland Street Market.

I understand this but Im not just going to give a local place a pass because it is local. I dont run a food blog or a website that depends on advertisers. This also isnt a new guy in town.

I agree with everyone on the plating comments. They are trying way too hard, and the plating takes away from the focus...you know...the food. What's next?
Skateboard snapped in half
Shovel
Uh...
Dog bowl
Clipboard
Scale

I actually kinda like the scale idea

You're right, everyone knows who HE is.
I'm happy to have this place as an option and hope it stays around for a long time if the food continues to impress.

That shovel is incredible.
All the plates at Golden Corral should be shovels

and for this one, would it be that hard to toss some frisee on top to give it a little green or color?
Yes, this one has potential to be great. Certainly nothing wrong with adding a bouquet of mixed greens on a corner or two. I really like the plum color. I would pat off the pan oil before plating. Maybe hit it with some chives to keep it simple.

How many scallops came on that plate? I'm just trying to get my ducks in a row for a hit piece I have brewing about them "Diver" scallops.

Wife(no pics) and I went Saturday. All of the food tasted pretty good. We ordered 5 small plates, the Buffalo frog legs came out first and tasted great. Then they brought out the other 4 small plates at the same time which kind of sucked because we felt rushed to eat the food while it was hot. One of the small plates was a crab au gratin pizza and that got cold fast. I kind of wished they would have planned the service a little better but besides that it was good. Just curious is it my fault for not asking for 2 plates to come out at a time or something like that?

We had a number of small plates at Peche recently. We also ordered cups of soup. The waitress asked us how we wanted the plates to come out.

Perhaps you should open your wallet, eat there for yourself and then you can hit away. I would tell you how many were originally on the plate but you can do your own investigation.
Please post a link for your article as I am very interested in reading your review. I'm certain it will be a good read.

Damn. You are the serious sort. I aint no restaurant critic. Relax. So, how many scallops? Looks like there were four.

I think a wrist corsage would be more appropriate.

In the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that my interest in the restaurant is twofold:
It is fairly close to my house and work and
I liked the food so I would like it to stay in business since it is close to my house and work.
Thanks for asking.
