Henry,

Here's my two cents on your site for the Ho-Ho restaurant.

Over all the pages basic design looks great.  However, I agree with the
earlier post that this page just aches for some color.  Red sounds good to
me too - although I'm partial to green personally...

Okay - now we get a little picky.  But these are some things you might
consider:

"a fully licensed venue"  -- do you have a problem with un-licensed venue's
in your area?

Where IS your area?  I'm assuming Australia, but that doesn't tell me much.
I'm from Bloomington.  Can you find me?  Without the Indiana, USA in there,
it makes it a little rough.

The Imagine This: list  needs some help.  Every line in your list you want
to start with Imagine This:  -- at least that's how I took it.  Some of the
sentences don't make sense if you do this... ("Imagine This:  ...or the
perfect place to meet business associates from the surrounding region and
clinch that important contract..." "Imagine This:  ...that has plenty of
parking, wheelchair access and is close to town...", etc.) The last 4 are
like this.

The first one made me laugh!  ("Imagine This:  Tender fillet steaks, choice
chicken and pork, taste-tempting seafood and seasonal fresh fruits and
vegetables, all lovingly transformed into the finest Chinese and
International dishes.")  So all these yummy veggies got turned into bone
china?  Are they just dinner plates or are soup bowls included?  *grin*

I like the simple look you've given the page.  Not having a lot of clutter
makes it easy on the eyes.  In fact, I'd even lose the No Frames graphic -
you don't need it.  It's pretty obvious we're not in frames.  I'd also scoot
the text back over to the left at the bottom part of the site.  It's all
over for the buttons at the top, but never goes back left after the
buttons/list area is finished.

You might consider adding a picture of the restaurant or it's interior at
some time.  It would be nice to see what it looks like.  As we all know, you
can describe just about anything as wonderful.  Whether or not it really is,
you have to see for "yourself."

Peace!
