Baffling Restaurant Fails That Are Making Customers Walk Out The Door

Fine cuisine is marked not only by how the food tastes but also by how it’s presented on the plate. And while innovative plating may get you promoted by foodies on social media, bad plating can get you the kind of Instagram fame no one wants. From visually blah assemblies to downright painful obstacles, few things are more frustrating than a plate of food more cumbersome to eat than it’s worth.

Overdone

Imagine waiting 45 minutes for your $13 bar-food appetizer to show up, and it's cold and eight wontons vise-gripped to a clothesline. The guys in the background crossing their arms just wanted fried cheese puffs, not laundry.

Slurpy

"Stick out your hand! Hope you washed it. I'm going to squirt a bunch of condiments on there and you can lick 'em off" were apparently the chef's instructions at the most expensive restaurant this Redditor had ever visited.

Crunch Crunch

When the server sat this plate of arancini down in front of Reddit user swflmeli, their words were "don't eat the rocks"... to which we'd say, don't serve us rocks! What is the point of the rocks?! We like our arancini without an emergency dental visit.

Too Far

Ladies and gentlemen, today's chef's special is Eggs Benedict, without the English muffin, served in a milkshake glass! Sounds a little too gooey. We hope that's a fork sticking out the side, and not a straw.
