What's going on in "fine" dining? Where did all the flavor go?

Question

Am I the only one consistently being served pricey, small plates of under-seasoned food? I am actually a fan of minimalism and letting ingredients shine and all that. I do not think I have what you might call a caveman's palate. But man a lot of these dishes lately - and I'm talking uwu whatever-star restaurants - are just kinda BLAND to me.

Chat, is it just me?
