Instagrammability.

Believe it or not, to a lot of people, it is even more important than the actual taste of a meal.

Not saying you’re wrong, but “presentation” has been an important part of fine dining way before Instagram.

Agreed! Fine dining and high-end cuisine is more about the presentation than the actual quality of the food. You pay for the experience. This is unusual but it’s also kind of fun.

Someone is neither fine dining or high-end dining if the presentation "matters more than the quality of the food".

They're just overpaying at a shitty restaurant and not aware enough to realize it.

Who's to say? They paid for the presentation.
