The Linden House
Restaurant Website
The Linden House is a restaurant site designed for the visitor it actually gets — someone on a phone, deciding where to eat tonight. Menu, hours and a table sit within seconds of arrival, and the reservation flow wears the house typography rather than a vendor's.

The Challenge
Two tabs open, dinner undecided
Almost nobody browses a restaurant website at a desk. The visit happens on a phone, in the evening, with a second restaurant open in the next tab — and the decision goes to whichever site answers menu, hours, place and table first.
Booking was the second half of the brief. The standard move is a third-party iframe that swaps the restaurant's typography for a vendor's at the exact moment a visitor commits, and the brief refused it: the reservation had to belong to the house.
The Approach
How we worked
Assume it is evening and a phone
The layout was designed for a thumb and a decision already in progress. Tonight's hours, the menu and the reservation sit in the first stretch of scrolling.
Build the booking into the brand
Date, time and party size are set in the house serif and end in a brass Reserve pill — the same materials as the rest of the site, because commitment is the worst moment to change voice.
Typeset the menu like it matters
Dish names, descriptions and prices were set with the care of a printed menu. Food that is plated deliberately deserves better than a default table.
Spend the brass sparingly
Bottle green and cream carry the site; brass appears where a decision is asked for. An accent used everywhere is an accent nowhere.
The Solution
The whole decision within a thumb's reach
The site opens on a centred serif wordmark over a band of dish photography, and the essentials follow immediately: a three-dish excerpt from the menu with prices, the reservation widget, the evening's hours in one line.
The booking itself is three quiet choices — date, time, party size — and a brass Reserve pill, all in the house typography. A visitor who commits never feels the site change hands beneath them.
Inside the product
What it actually does
Every Screen
One product, whatever it is opened on
The phone layout is not the desktop one squeezed down. Density, hit areas and reading order are decided per screen, and the interface keeps its meaning at both ends.
