# Redesign Summary: Princess Maria Diner

## Design Family
**warm-hospitality** — Soft serif typography (DM Serif Display) for headings, Figtree for body text. Stone/parchment/terracotta/espresso/olive palette.

## What Changed

### Narrative Flow
1. **Hero** — Layered hero with food photography, rewritten headline ("Good Food, Warm Welcome"), clear CTA stack (menu + call).
2. **Trust Strip** — Four-column proof band (30+ years, family-owned, open daily 7am–10pm, made fresh). Replaces the old site's thin top header.
3. **Story** — Rewritten family history section paired with a dining room photo. Framed as community cornerstone, not generic copy.
4. **Menu** — Tabbed breakfast/lunch & dinner/specialties panels with individual menu cards. All items and prices preserved from source. No external menu link.
5. **Comfort Food Band** — Signature dishes callout (waffles, Jersey Burger, desserts) on dark espresso background for visual rhythm.
6. **Gallery** — Six-image CSS grid collage using all source gallery photos (dining room, coffee bar, Nutella waffle, steak entree, Oreo cake).
7. **Location + Footer** — Address, phone, hours with SVG icons, embedded Google Map, directions link, Facebook/X social links.
