Purpose / Function
Juniper Heights is a restaurant for the wealthier segments of Ilyrium's society. It is a popular place for a business lunch, a special occasion (such as a birthday), and to impress others (such as a Family Founding Day).
Alterations
As mentioned below, the rooms in Juniper Heights changes frequently (about 3-4 times per year). Some of the rooms remain somewhat consistent (for instance, there is always a room situated on the water, and there is usually always some sort of Greenhouse Room). Special rooms are usually advertised in advance and create a large reserve list waiting to sit in certain rooms. Typically, Juniper Heights caters to more secular holidays (like humans, witches still celebrate many holidays that have nothing to do with religion, including Christmas, Halloween, and Easter). On occasion, Juniper Heights will rent out a room to their wealthier clients, and a client is allowed to request a theme. For example, the Sharpe family requested a Paris-themed room for their recent Family Founding Day, and the Ryan Family will almost assuredly do a similar thing (except Hibernia-themed) on their upcoming Family Founding Day.
Architecture
Juniper Heights is a magicked restaurant; there are several different rooms with magicked nature. The rooms change multiple times a year. Currently, the rooms are as follows:
Beach Room: This room is settled on a beach, only a few feet away from water. It is magicked so that the water never crosses towards the diners, and the sand is wiped away once guests leave the room. There is always a slight breeze along with the hotter weather.
Greenhouse room: A tastefully decorated French-themed room with white furniture and table decorations. Various flowers dot the ceiling according to the season; currently, the theme includes lilacs.
Autumn Room: A beautiful room situated in the middle of a beautiful clearing in the fall. The trees are at peak color, and while the leaves do fall, the trees replenish, and none of the leaves ever fall on the guests. The room is only slightly chilled, and so some guests may bring a sweater to dine in this room.
Topiary Room: This room is styled with a variety of amazing topiaries and other interesting landscaping for the guests to enjoy.
Meadow Room: The meadow room is magicked so that guests can sit in the middle of a spring meadow, dotted with wildflowers. The temperature is always warm but not too hot, and guests enjoy picking the flowers that magically regrow to take home.
