I need an updated home page design for a leading regional restaurant website - Gusto.
Gusto is a well established restaurant in Noosa, Queensland, Australia. Noosa is a well known holiday destination but also has a thriving residential population who love dining out.
The restaurant overlooks the Noosa River and has terraces overlooking the river views to enjoy the warm summers and relatively mild winters in Queensland.
The owner of Gusto has a French heritage. Food is delicious but not pretentious and the atmosphere at Gusto is fun and congenial (not stuffy). The food is delicious and the owner is passionate about the meal designs and his wine cellar. The restaurant would sit somewhere between European bistro and fine dining.
Gusto has an enviable wine list - and the owner and wine manager host regular events showcasing Australia wine makers and their cellar releases.
The main goal of the website is to let visitors know about the hours, various meal specials, options for groups and functions, and other relevant information.
The existing website has not been changed for some time. It is available at https://gustonoosa.com.au.
For the website refresh, we are looking for a new Home page design (including header and footer) and a design for the Groups and Function page (see attached document for sections/content).
The design should position Gusto as a premium destination but should prioritise clarity of information and come off as 'classy but welcoming'. The primary colour of the site should remain similar to the current site. However, feel free to design a suitable colour palette to ensure primary and secondary calls to action are highly visible provided the brand 'feel' remains consistent with the current colour scheme etc.
The design MUST include considerations for responsive design from mobile to desktop viewports. We suggest a max page width of 1366px for desktop. The web builder can cater for numberically scaled spacing and font sizes.
We'll be building on WordPress using BricksBuilder, Automatic CSS, and Frames:

There is a library of standard Frames sections and components layouts that may be used if desired as a basis:

FONTS
The logo font is currently Twang.
Heading fonts may also use this font if this suits the design. Otherwise, suggest something from Google or free font libraries that will create a similar fun and informal feel while remaining a little stylish.
Site currently uses Nunito as the body font. Happy to stick with this unless you have another suggestion.
See the attached document for the content and order of sections for the two pages.
