I need Feedback before I continue

Hey whats up guys, I am building a website (WhereYouEat) I really need some professional advice. Although I do want to make the website Neat and simple it is only for Staten Island's Online Menu guide. Basically on the main page you click your Zip code and see the Restaurants and there Menus available in that area.
Can Someone please check it out, and let me know if I should change/add anything, and if the menus on the few pages I have so far are fine?
Also Another thing, Should I protect the Images? Such as a watermark just in case anybody decides to copy my idea and steal my menus?
Do you think this can work out? Or Am I simply wasting my time. The website is WhereYouEat.com Thank you so much in advance for the help

This is a good idea, but I have to say the execution needs an awful lot of work. The page needs some style to make it interesting (dare I say "appetizing")and more usable, the plain text and blue backgrounds aren't appealing. You need to really look at some design ideas.

The site has 110 code errors, listed at http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwhereyoueat.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

Also on the menus and copyright (note the correct spelling), you may have an issue. The menus are copyright by the restaurant owners, not by you. So the question is whether you have permission to use them, and whether the restaurant folks want a watermark or other method of security on them - not whether you do.

Some of the menu scans are crooked, you should straighten them up.

Also you'll want to do spell check throughout, there are typos.

Thanks a lot for the opinion, taken in mind, I will go over with spell check and the errors are simple.
But what do you mean by Execution? "Needs a lot of work?"

And what would you suggest I do with "Appetizing" I wanted to make it Nice, Neat and Simple for people just to log on simply without a bunch of things in there face just click there zip code, see whats available... (Maybe a nice Banner can help that?)

I mean that if I'm surfing the web in the mind for food, I expect to see a web site that looks like it's putting food in a good view, it makes me more hungry, it guides me (in more ways than just showing me "data") toward my dinner.

Look at a few restaurant sites, this is what I'm thinking of (just pulled these up randomly)

Thank you so much for your feedback, I fixed the Errors, I will try to add some things to make it more Appetizing (Maybe Pics of Menus/Deliveries/Pizza Bags). And when I am done I will reply here again if you are interested in seeing the changes. But I am going to try to keep it in the simple matter that I have it. Btw I have one last question. I searched so much (Is it possible to have a Bookmark for Both IE & FireFox? Thanks again...

I have one more question please - I am trying to create a link within a page and don't know how to to do it right... I keep doing the href..... and the <a Name.. I don't know if I can type that here. well it is showing up on the errors, it works good but for some reason errors are telling me its over lapping is there any way to fix this? Thanks again.

Look at the anchor tag and name attribute section here - http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp it shows the syntax.
