Reference it for
- The charcoal-not-black base #353839 (rgb 53,56,57) as the hero and footer canvas, warmer and softer than pure #000
- The paired warm register: cream #f0ece0 section backgrounds with #353839 ink, so the page breathes between dark and light acts
- cheltenhamBT (transitional serif, 400/700 + true italics) as the display and body voice at 42px/45px headings, 21px body, line-height ~27px
- gill-sans-nova as the humanist-sans counter face for eyebrows and nav, wide-tracked (letter-spacing 3px/3.2px/6px) all-caps labels
- The rounded full-bleed hero video card (~border-radius on a large media frame) with the pull-quote centred over it, off pure-black
- Off-white on dark type #fffdf9 for hero copy, with muted taupe #c4bfaf (rgb 196,191,175) for intro/caption text
- Outlined pill CTAs: 'View menus' / 'Book a table' as thin-bordered ghost buttons in a paired two-CTA row
- The terracotta-peach feature panel #e1a894 (rgb 225,168,148) used sparingly as a single warm accent block against the neutrals
