Vesper & Vine

A tasting-menu restaurant site built around reservations, not a PDF menu.

Concept demo — fictional brand

Reservations as the front door

The homepage leads straight into a live table-booking flow instead of a phone number and a hope. Guests pick a date, party size, and seating area, and get a confirmed hold in under a minute — no back-and-forth calls during service.

The tasting menu, presented properly

Courses are laid out as a paced, photographed sequence rather than a static list, with room for the kind of context a maitre d’ would give in person: what changes seasonally, what pairs with what, what to expect before the first plate arrives.

A wine story told at the table

Pairings live inside the tasting menu itself — chosen course by course and poured tableside, the way the sommelier actually works the room — not bolted on as a PDF download at the bottom of the menu.
