Ember & Oak

A reservation-driven site built around the menu and the room — fast, visual, and easy to update.

Conceptual project — built to demonstrate the engineering and UX approach, not a client's live site.

Approach

A menu that's actually structured content

Items, prices, and categories modeled as real data rather than paragraphs of copy — the kind of structure that makes updating a menu later a content change, not a redesign.

Built for the reflow, not just the layout

The desktop and mobile previews are the same component responding to real container queries, not two hand-built versions that can drift out of sync.

Fast by construction

Static-first rendering and no unnecessary client JavaScript for content that doesn't need to be interactive.

Reserve a table

A working reservation flow — pick a party size, choose a date and time, and confirm.

Step 1 of 3 — Party size

Demo only — no reservation is actually made or stored.
