There is an old cooking adage that, "You eat with your eyes first."

Making food aesthetically pleasing does add flavor to that first sample.

I saw something about a restaurant where the food is served in the dark a while ago, so that this can't happen.

Wow, I'm not sure I'd want to eat in a restaurant that purposefully prevented me from seeing what I was eating!
