The Loon’s Lagoon
Located in the North-East part of the Market District stands the Loon’s Lagoon; a rather out of place dinery amidst the sea of tents and stalls that make up the district. Albeit a fairly small structure in stature, the Lagoon boasts a café amongst the first floor, a roof-top wine-bar, and a surprisingly upscaled restaurant tucked away neatly in its basement. While the café and bar are open to all who can pay (and they’ll be paying a steep price to gain entry to the bar), the Lagoon’s restaurant is another story. Being reservation only, the restaurant is closed off to the general public and welcomes a select few cliental. With the Lagoon being tactically positioned dead split between the market’s merchant and guildsman territories, it has successfully marketed itself as a popular meeting spot for merchant and guildsman alike, with deals and arrangements are struck amongst both parties commonly.
The Lagoon’s structure is reminiscent of that which would be seen on a coast and is rather unique sight in middle-of-nowhere Mythrite. With a more fish-focused menu and a yellow and white interior color-scheme, the Lagoon’s staff are sure to meet its interior ambience with its more oceanic design. Salt infused incense sticks are burnt hourly to even make the premises smell that of a cool sea breeze.
Even though the Lagoon offers multiple services, it is without a doubt its café being its main source of income. It offers a small array of teas and coffees, appetizing entrees, sweets, and more all at an agreeable price. With its striking exterior visage and upper-class atmosphere, many first-time customers are caught off-guard with the café’s modestly priced meals and surprisingly good cup of joe with an economic price.
The roof-top bar is offered to the “public”, but the entry fee acts as a barrier between the middle and more upper class. When it can be used during the warmer months, the many of the more affluent and wealthier cliental of the Lagoon take their business upstairs, excluding those who cannot pay to the café. Unlike it’s modest café counterpart, the wine upon the menu is common, and its prices gouged. That matters not to its customer base, for those seen with a glass of wine are clearly more affluent than those without.
While the more affluent of cliental take to the bar, only the elites of Mythrite have entry to the Lagoon’s basement restaurant. Albeit not the finest dining within the town, it can comfortably seat the most, with up to 20 patrons at a time. Just as the patrons above, the elite cliental below use the restaurant as a commonly used business meeting ground, although the sight of a successful meeting being few and far between within the basement’s corridors. The restaurant’s cliental is exclusive, but it’s not unheard of more “eloquent” members of the public finding a seat of their own in the dinery, either it be through sweet-talking or bribery.
