    Hi! I'm sorry if i'm being too mean.. but i don't really like anything on this website.. first of all that wood background image with red background color don't mix.. you you want use a wood texture you can find a better one. That glass, straw and fork... just don't! now we continue to that Algerian font.. please don't use that.. something serif should do the trick. Now if we click in "our story" for example you have a image in content saying "our story" in a grunge style that doesn't fit at all with the rest of the website. I think you should change that layout to something more classy! and use more neutral colors.

    The colors are a little flat

    I love the concept, especially the glass and fork and such. I think if you made the main content area look more like a piece of menu paper, that would be very engaging.

    I used a similar concept on a blog I customized (www.jglovierthoughts.com). Using real stuff is always fun for the designer and the user.

    Noo its bad! fork, straw and especially the glass are all wrong. The way you have enclosed the site layout into a dark red background with a badly chosen wood texture creates a sense of claustrophobia.

    Maybe if you changed the wood texture for a table placemat (you know those things that plates sit on when you go to a restaurant) it would work soo much better!
