I like it. It looks nice and clean and the colors go well.

It is not a website i would go on since its food/catering lol but i think it will work well with the group of people you are wishing to market to.

Keep up the good work.

I think its a great start! The only two suggestion I have are:

1. the background pattern is a little overpowering

2. I think you can make the images and buttons pop out without using drop shadows. Maybe use a border or something instead.

Other then that I think its pretty solid. Don't forget to check your site on multiple browsers to see how it looks on all of them.

I don't think the pattern is too overpowering. Personally I think it fits this type of site and it instantly communicates catering/food etc.

The only things that bother me are that the menu doesn't seem to be vertically aligned to the middle and when you click "contact us" you get an extra line divider on the right. Apart from that, great job!

I agree with Gino . The background is a little overpowering. maybe thinner stripes?

First of all, great job!!
Some nitpicking:
on some of the sites (such as, for example, the "event catering" page) the bottom links appear twice.
the contact-site is a bit off, first of all the all-white header ruins the calm atmosphere of your site, the main frame is slightly offset to the right to the other sites.
I'm very unshure about the background, on one hand I'd say it's too overpowering, on the other hand I think it fits the theme very good. What I'd like to see (if you have the ability to put up on your own server and show us if you don't want to fuck with the website itself) is a fixed background. the pattern really fucks your head up when you scroll
but overall very nice work, really suits the concept =)

The darkish background does start to play with your eyes when you're reading the text... but I like it that way because it's bold. It is so ordinary to have a light coloured background - I think this one suits just fine.
