Creating a balanced menu requires knowledge, confidence, and flair, blending high and low elements effectively.
Google Sheets, for example, does this. Go to "File" or "Edit" or "View" and you'll see a menu with a list of options, every single one having an icon (same thing with the right-click context menu). It's extra noise to me. It's not that I think menu items should never have icons. I think they can be incredibly useful (more on that below).
Research suggests diners spend more freely when prices are listed without currency symbols - possibly because the visual cue of a dollar sign reminds people they're parting with money.
