Do you honestly notice any difference when you eat salad at home, because of the plate?

You're looking at this from the wrong angle. You're assuming that they put the plate in the freezer so that you can have an ice-cold plate. But restaurants are essentially assembly lines, and can't leave things to chance, so the reason why they put the plates in the freezer is so that no one grabs a plate straight from the dishwasher (i.e. hot) to serve salad on.
