If you want to give the diner the option to add lemon, give them wedges. There is no good way to use a lemon round.
Flavours sound pretty nice otherwise.

Sliced lemon like that is dumb and useless.
If you’re going to do it anyway, take the seeds out.
Were the guanciale bits rendered to order? They could be drained better either way so they’re not dripping excess grease all over an otherwise nice plate. A matte finish, black plate has to be *perfect* or it’ll show every imperfection and then some.
Before putting anything like that on a plate rest it on a plating tray with a c-fold lining to blot up extraneous liquids you don’t want leaking onto the plate.

Lemon zest while cooking and lemon twist for aesthetic

Can’t fathom why your chef would insist on those unwieldy rounds and furthermore would love to hear the rationale behind the random mint.

If you must use round lemon circles, maybe make a twisted lemon garnish. Make a single cut from the center to the edge of the slice. Twist one side of the cut slice forward and the other backward, using your fingers to create the spiral effect.

Looks like mint.

That is absolutely not “basil” that is a mint garnish sir.

Mint seems really weird to me, not what I would imagine going with lemony seafood

3 lemon slices?
What was wrong with just one of them?

The dish sounds nice. It presents as half finished.
I know you’ve acknowledged it already, but those lemons are so dumb, you need to show your chef this thread. Just throw a fucking piece of Dino kale and some parsley on that plate and take us all the way back to plating in 1987.
Most of my feedback has already been given, but this just bugs me so much cause just giving 10% more fucks and this could be a banger. Looks like chef is 86d fucks

If I’m going to need a knife and fork then I really prefer my food on a plate. Bowls make it difficult to get in there and cut up the food and often aren’t stable.

Sounds good but the lemon rounds gotta go. If you want some lemon flavor and acidity add some preserved lemon to your gremolata

That basil looks suspiciously little mint.

Maybe you could char half of a lemon on the grill instead of those thin slices

I really want to eat that, but am afraid of choking on lemon seeds

Looks like you forgot you were serving dinner halfway through and decided to start garnishing a pitcher of lemonade instead

And there’s still seeds in the lemon? Your chef sucks
