    Watercolor strip?

    I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the watercolor strip is. I'm trying to imagine what the website would look like without it. I do see that it's repeated in the menu - at least there's consistency with the watercolor. I just don't understand why it's there.

    Everything else looks good to me, even the vines. Maybe you could replace the realistic vines with the ones that are in the logo? Just a suggestion!

    Anyway, it's a solid design! It's straightforward but very nice to look at.

      Sorry didn't explain the color strip. The cafe isn't the newest building on the block, My aim is to tie a hint of grunge from the building into the website. This will hopefully draw some subtle connections for people who visit the site and then the cafe. That being said, it's also for a bit of style. I enjoy the way the horizontal line really draws your eye from one side of the page to the other.
