    Choose a brighter color for the bar

    I like the design overall. I would change the color of the bar to something that stands out a bit more, such as a red or orange. Make the logo quite a bit smaller and make "lunch menu" stand out less. Otherwise, it's a fun menu, good work.

      You're right about the bar. I'll try a rich, dark red to go with the colors in the restaurant. I'll try your other suggestions too ... thanks!

      Since the overall feel of the artwork is historical, I think the photos are vital. They tie the client into the subject matter more vividly. Plus- the photos themselves are great, and very appetizing!

      I like the red, don't put a highlight behind the logo. Put the "lunch menu" verbiage in the light red on top of the dark red. Otherwise, it is looking good.

      Good point about the historical nature of the menu. I'll definitely go with the photo version, that way I won't have to use leaders (I think they're ugly).

      I like your idea about putting the "lunch menu" on the lighter red, I'll give it a try.
