scrutiny: Trattoria Acqua
Trattoria Acqua offers La Jolla Banquet Facilities for various functions and events. You can choose from the three Banquet Rooms offered depending on your preference. The Banquet Menus have a wide array of food too choose from, along with a choice between normal and gourmet.
And now, on to the scrutiny.
At first glance, the homepage looks as what the restaurant and the food it serves probably is--colorful and elegant. The colors don't clash, they all blend well.
I didn't find a lot to scrutinize on this website. In fact, I can only think of two, and nothing major.
1. Redundancy
For the Menu links (not the restaurant menus), they get redundant. Probably recycling the template, but I would rather if I'm onthe Brunch Menu, then the link to Brunch Menu be either dimmed out or disabled (plain text) or simply removed to signify that I'm on that page. But then, there are two other texts that tell me I'm on that page. One on top ("Trattoria Acqua's Brunch" in white that is pretty small) and one below the Menu links (that just says "Brunch"). One "Brunch" is enough. Either they put it on the link, or remove it.
The same goes for the Banquet Menus, though the crime only shows up twice. On a side note, I think it's better if they just keep the white text and increase the font size of that one. And not use white... a deeper orange perhaps.
2. Pictures
They have a very nice picture gallery, and they took pains in taking a pretty picture of almost every crevice in the restaurant. They even have a picture of the view from the place. Why didn't they put more pictures of the food they serve? The few pictures of the food they have on the website looks very delicious. So why not make the web visitors drool more by putting more pictures. A mouse-over thumbnail would be nice.
Okay, I will say the truth. The descriptions of the food below the names of the dishes mean nothing to me. Almost. I want to know how it looks like. I'm guilty of visual hunger. Sometimes, if something looks delicious, I'm going to have a go at it. So... More pictures please.
On to the basics
Links: All are working.
Colors: Not clashing, no blinking.
Up-to-date: Yeah. it says 2006.... I don't think it will have changed that much, price-wise.
