Looks ok to me, but Im no pro, lol

The only thing that popped in my head was if there should be a "!" behind "barcelona style"

I guess that depends on what barcelona style is!

the colors are good I'm assuming they fit with the colors of the restaurant and the general layout looks good but something about it just doesn't look right...

first off the lettering under the restaurants name just needs to go maybe something else should be there. All the rest looks a little more upscale then you got some lettering that looks kinda elementary. I might go with the barcelona logo on the bottom left centered in that space and overlay the sit back and relax wording it might look better or throw something else in there.

i don't know

edit: to clarify what I mean it all kinda depends on the restaurants class/quality you don't realy need something upscale if its justa laid back place might go with something a little more fun but if your going for the upscale look and feel your on the right track

In general the layout is good, not crowded, but the colors don't contrast much, but maybe that's the effect you are after? Keep in mind that color flyers are expensive, unless you limit it to just two colors of print. You can however maximize that by using colored paper, but you'll want to see how the ink works on that colored paper before making a final commitment.

With that said I'll delve into the details that I noticed:

Notice how the lettering of the logo (bottom left) and the main header (top) are quite similar in style & color, that's good. **BUT** the fading Barcelona (below the logo) is in Times Roman font. The name, logo, and "type graphics" should all be one font.

The rest of the cover should be one distingushably different font from the three categories listed above. The raised and curved lettering is nice, but even if it were the same font as the rest (it isn't but even if it were...) it would give the (mental) impression of yet another font.

Flyers, Resumes, Menues, Business Cards, etc. normally have no more than two fonts, or one font, both with and without special effects. Much more than that makes it look "pasted" together. At the very most use three fonts; but I'd steer away from that if at all possible.

In the "open for business" section: the header and the days are in red ... but the hours are in brown. That grouping should be all one color (and of course one font)

The last thing I'll comment on concerning fonts is the phone number separators. Do not use periods. Dashes, hyphens, dots (centered like bullets), or spaces ..... but NOT periods.

Summary of the type:
Font count = 6
Font coloring = 3 (excluding logo, main header and fading type)
Font effects = 3


The pictures ~ IMHO ~ look like something out of the fifties. Even so, I'd not put a picture with one lonely couple sitting in the middle of an empty place ..... not saying much for how popular your trying to say this place is ..... If you want just one couple then put them by a window or with a nice painting in the background and make it a tighter shot. And the one with the staff (correct?) have they signed a release? ..... if they are limited to the owners, those pictures should be tighter shots and have no backgound, unless it's the front entrance, or the view of the establishment from the street, with the owner and/or the sign.

I have just one suggestion
Fix the typing - it should be 'business' not 'buisness'.
