    • Presentation:
      • Great briefing about the purpose of your site: helping people with dietary restrictions safely explore menus.
    • Usability:
      • Have advance buttons at both the top and bottom, so the user always has a way of proceeding without needing to visually search for a button.
      • Specifying Dietary Restrictions:
        • Autocomplete search for ingredients looks great - might want to consider hiding the list of ingredients in preference of this more direct way to specify dietary restrictions.
        • Restrict and prefer buttons should be aligned in ingredient list.
        • The Clear All buttons for preferences and dietary restrictions should be out of the way (e.g. bottom right of the box it affects). There should potentially be a clear all button for chosen menu items
        • Might not be obvious to user what 'preferences' does.
      • Graphic Design:
        • No gridding of menu browsing page (http://i.imgur.com/SxHN29c.png).
        • Too many different font styles on a single page (several different sizes, and the main heading font (i.e. same as logo) is distracting.
      • Restaurants page:
        • Hitting enter should search for restaurants.
        • More restaurant metadata should be showed (e.g. rating and popularity, if you can sort by them)
        • Could be displayed in a table that can be resorted by clicking on column headers.
    • Completeness:
      • Great job whipping up the back-end at the last minute - serves your purposes well, I think.
      • Weird flicker when clicking 'get started' on splash page, before landing on login page.
      • Error with editing dietary restrictions on the menu browsing page.
      • Splash page still uses a mishmash of icons from other sites - you should make your own, so they're consistent in style.
