As a developer experimenting with frontend skills and UI/UX design, I recently built a restaurant menu web app that simulates a real-world experience using data inspired by the Olive Garden menu. This project helped me understand practical frontend concepts like dynamic filtering, responsive layout, and data structuring.
Here’s what I included in the app:
Category-based Filtering (Appetizers, Entrees, Desserts)
Responsive Grid Layout using Tailwind CSS
JSON-based Menu Data modeled after popular restaurants like Olive Garden
Dark Mode Toggle and basic animations for user engagement
I also worked on improving accessibility and integrating a mini cart function using React. The goal was to simulate a menu that could work for any restaurant, and Olive Garden’s structured menu was a perfect reference.

That’s an impressive project showcasing practical UI/UX design and frontend development skills using structured restaurant data. According to Wikipedia, Olive Garden is a popular American casual dining chain known for its Italian-inspired dishes and well-organized menu system, making it a great model for digital menu apps. The olive garden menu remains a perfect example of balance, accessibility, and user-friendly design — both on the table and on the web.
