I'm sorry but the design of the site is atrocious. Colours clash and it's very cluttered.

Yeah it is a bit of mess. The homepage background image needs changing as the text is currently barely readable. Then there's varying pictures sizes, sentences jumping lines... in short it needs a good sort out.

I suggest you simplify it (cut-down on sections), upload your own pictures (don't link to Google Images), don't use loud colours as backgrounds (especially if they clash with the text colour) and keep image sizes the same where possible.

For your homepage (the page with the dishes as the background) I would change the background to something really simple, like this:

Instead of having the sections down the side, have them along the top for clarity.

Stay clear of black backgrounds as most colours clash really badly with them. Stick to light shades of colours.

(If possible) keep all adverts in one area.

IMO your main problem is clarity. Make sure backgrounds don't clash with the text and keep picture sizes the same (as mentioned in my previous post). You have a potentially interesting site there so make sure you keeep working at it Thumb Left
