Larkin & Vine
Larkin & Vine is a demonstration build for a fictional Buffalo restaurant. Its menu shows how a manager can change a dish description, price or dietary tag in WordPress without recreating a design file. Google can index PDFs; this HTML menu offers a layout that adapts to a phone and individual items that staff can maintain. Each edit supplies both the visible menu and its structured data. Opening hours come from one shared theme configuration used by the hours table, open/closed badge, footer and Restaurant structured data; this demo does not include an admin screen for editing hours. The reservation form collects a preferred date, time and party size for staff to confirm. It does not check table availability or make a confirmed booking. The public demo validates entries without saving or emailing them; the theme includes a separate configuration for storing and emailing inquiries in a client build. This is a feature demonstration, with no client revenue or ranking results claimed.
Larkin & Vine is a fictional restaurant. Its address, phone number and reviews are invented, and the site is deliberately kept out of search results. Demo forms do not make reservations, save submissions or send emails.

Why It Matters
A restaurant website needs to support everyday work: changing a dish price, keeping displayed hours consistent and explaining what happens after a guest requests a table. This demo makes those choices visible so a Buffalo restaurant owner can assess the menu, mobile navigation and inquiry flow before discussing a real build.
