I always liked how tables were dressed a la carte like a restaurant. Took away the airplane feel of the inflight service.
You choose everything from a menu. Tables are still presented with linen, bread plate, salt/pepper, water glass, etc. Now it's just set in a tray (likely larger than what you're picturing). The empty plates are removed as necessary, the main course is delivered in its own plate and set on the tray. To be honest, the tray did not distract from the presentation, at least for me. I didn't even realize it was there, until she picked it up at the end with everything inside. The fruit/cheese plate is still presented seperately once the tray is removed.
