The Greatest Dining Experience

 

The Modavie Bistro which means the way of life is a beautiful bistro that is located on  the beautiful waters of Jersey island, surrounded by romantic  waterfalls that sets the ambiance  for any romantic dinner , party, engagement, drinks, or any business meeting. The Modavie is open 24/7 for self service. 

The Modavie bistro is mainly self service, but we can most definitely accommodate  a full course dinning experience with a live server  with no extra cost. A reservation has to be made a day  prior to dining to ensure a live server.  We strive on  providing a great roleplay dining experience. Weather it be self service or a live server. We at the Modavie understand the importance of great quality dining.

SPOTLIGHT ON BARIKI RESTAURANT- The Essence of Elegance awaits - Lanai Jarrico Reporting…

Breaking bread and sharing it with each other during meals is an essential part of getting together. It is affirming, builds trust, confidence, and most of all comfort sharing a meal with the ones you love.  In Second life, we cannot smell the aroma of an amazing looking dish but we can gather and role play scenarios where we can spend time with others over a meal. Bariki Restaurant is a venue that captures the essence of elegance and caters to guests for a full service luxury dining experience.

 I had the pleasure of meeting Jakobi, owner of Bariki to learn more about his vision for this beautifully designed restaurant and what it has to offer Second Life residents.

Interview with  Jahkobi C Kaleo (jahkobi)

Lanai: Hi Jakobi,  it's a pleasure to meet with you. You’ve been here over 11 years, how did you discover Second Life? 

Jakobi: I have actually been on 2 second life since 2006 under another avatar. I was introduced to Second Life by a friend on IMVU. As everyone else, once I started , it was very different from jumping from nodes to actually navigating your avatar throughout the world of Second Life. Overall, it has been a rewarding experience! 

Lanai: OMG I remember IMVU, Virtual world platforms have come a long way!  Can you share with our readers what inspired you to create Bariki Restaurant? What is your vision?

Jakobi: I wanted to create a place of solace to dine in a romantic atmosphere where you are provided with top of the line service and an experience that would be unforgettable.  My dream is to develop a full role play experience which includes dining, romantic walks, couple and single events and at times a venue for poetry and live singing. I wanted a place where role play was the key component versus going and providing self service.  The peaceful environment is why it is by reservation only. We want the experience to be uninterrupted. 

Lanai: You definitely capture the essence of a peaceful luxury dining environment from inside and the surrounding area. There is so much detail.  You mentioned Bariki is a reservation only restaurant, what type of package experiences do you offer guests and how can they reserve a table?

Jakobi: Reservations are initiated by contacting myself in world, Jahkobi , Kai Kaleo or Khloe Mcgregor, or via our facebook/instagram page. 

Our packages include an inside dining experience or an outdoor experience that appears to be the most popular at this time. The ambience is amazing and most enjoy that type of setting. 

Dinner Packages:

Dinner for Two in Main Restaurant : Three Course Meal $700 per person or $1400 couple

Additional Persons over parties of 2: $500 per person

Dinner for Two in Private Gazebo:  Three Course Meal $800.00 per person $1600 couple- Special for anniversary, birthday for two. 

Lanai:Those are fair prices for top notch service. Do you have any plans to offer events to guests,like wedding receptions, company dinners, live entertainment, other types of shows, even A mystery dinner theater would be cool! 

Jakobi: Yes, all of the above. We plan to over personalized events for weddings, parties, company dinners, mystery murder events . We will offer live poetry and singing too. Our plans will incorporate things for all people.  We want this to be the experience of a lifetime. A day or evening full of enjoyment. 

Lanai: I’m excited to see what you have planned! You really captured the feeling of luxury dining. Did you design the restaurant yourself or do you have a team? 

Jakobi: I gave the idea of what I was looking for to a very good friend who I call my twin, ᴊᴅ ʀᴏx ʙʟᴀᴄᴋʙᴀʀᴛ (jd.spicy). She is very detail oriented and can make any dream come true. Also, my team ღKαı Nαʟαпı Sнσшσυт Kαʟεσღ (minidagawdess), ღ Beyond Blyiss ღ (amiyahlane), and ღJαzzч Nαƨнαч Hαят ĈíĄgĄღ (sashabanks33).  We do have new additions to the team who have been very resourceful in marketing efforts, Tɾҽ S. Kαʂԋ Fҽɳƚι (biggtrapmilly) and ღDr. Dejai  ÃsαɳԵҽ' ღMD (nila.zafeiri).  I would also like to say thank you to my uncle Kamal Crush for his guidance and support.

Lanai: A solid team is key to keeping a good vibe and flow of things and you have accomplished that! Are you hiring staff? If so, what positions are available?

Jakobi: Yes I am currently hiring for dedicated servers and hosts. We are looking for individuals who can be available to assist with customers that are scheduled for reservations and on special occasions, walk in guests.

Lanai: Not to mention top notch Chefs! What group can guests join to stay up to date with events and special offers at Bariki Restaurant?

Jakobi: They can like our facebook group-(1) Facebook

Lanai:Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to chat with me. You did an amazing job with Bariki and I look forward to seeing its success grow! We can toast to that.  Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?

Jakobi: Second Life is full of things to do and amazing opportunities. Get out and explore, come and make reservations at the Bariki. We promise the role play experience will be top notch.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE ECLIPSE RESTAURANT– A FEW MORE SELECTIONS FOR YOUR DINING EXPERIENCE- ELY CATRONIS REPORTING

 

This past May, we visited The Eclipse restaurant to take in the exquisite experience they had to offer through their various fine dining experiences. I recently had the chance to stop back over and sit down and talk about the new opportunities and additions they have.  

 

EC (Ely Catronis):  Hello Alassra! It is wonderful to meet you and to experience your exquisite fine dining experience here. I know that we have been here before.  Would you mind sharing with our readers what drew you specifically into the fine dining and restaurant business?

 

Alassra (xAlassrax): Hello Ely!  Thank you so much for being here today and it's wonderful to meet you as well!  That is a great question!  I was drawn to the fine dining and restaurant business because partaking in that experience has been one of my favorite experiences so far for me in SL.  I fell in love with the RP dining in SL from the moment I first booked a reservation at Serendipity Restaurant, and that was one of the big reasons I started working there too!  It was such an amazing experience for me!  Unfortunately, they closed their doors this past March, and at that point, I saw the void that was going to be left, and myself and some others decided to work together to try to fill that space as best we could!  We wanted everyone in SL to still have that amazing fine dining, roleplay experience!

EC: The last time the SL Enquirer was here you had 3 Amazing venues, the beach, the forest, and the more formal/elegant venue. We are told you added more to the Eclipse dining experience and have great news to share. Can you tell us about that?

 

Alassra (xAlassrax):  Definitely!  We have a lot of news!  We have added 2 new venues and several new packages!   We recently sponsored the Kappa Theta Phi: Mr. & Ms. Aloha Showcase that ran from the 4th - 7th of this month.  We are also taking part in the Spoonful of Sugar Festival in Sept. and will be having a new package only available there and 100% of the price goes to SOS!  

 

EC: It sounds like you are SL Community Sponsors around the grid. Can you tell us a little more about the Exclusive New Package at the Spoonful of Sugar Festival? 

 

Alassra (xAlassrax): I would love to!  Our Exclusive Package for the Spoonful of Sugar Festival will be something different than our current packages because, unlike our other packages, this one will be more of a 'public' dining experience package!  We have several tables set up in a very special location. They are a beautiful "Aloha" Hawaiian type of theme fitting the festival theme this year, and unlike our other packages, we will allow immediate "walk-in" dining after the package is purchased at the festival!  This means a client can purchase the Luau package at the SOS festival, immediately head to the LM provided inside of it, and be seated with their party to begin their dining experience!   

EC:  That sounds amazing. You mentioned you have several new packages.  Can you briefly tell us about them and where can we find out about them?

 

Alassra (xAlassrax): Of course!  We felt that we were missing some areas to expand on, as well as potential ways to allow our staff to show off their skills more with the base packages we offered, so we came up with several additional packages to further enhance our services!  We have a package tailored for those who love capturing moments by photograph, which gives them a mini photoshoot with their dinner reservation!  We also have a package that is aimed at those not as much into the full dining experience, but who love the personal DJ aspect, so it provides them with a 30-minute drinks & appetizers meal, and then they have an hour and a half to dance the night away with up to 6 people in their party!  We even added a Bed & Breakfast package for clients who want to have a beautiful and very private, more casual dining experience!  Oh and let's not forget our Spa package!  This one is my favorite because it is PERFECT for the day or night out with friends/family/etc!  It gives unlimited drinks & appetizers served to you and your party while you experience our amazing Dragon's Dream Spa services!  Full details on each new package can be found on our website located here - https://xalassrax.wixsite.com/deviantsims/eclipse-packages

EC: The Eclipse atmosphere is already so gorgeous with nature, waterfalls, and lighting. You briefly mentioned that you are looking to expand Eclipse.  What more can you add to what you already have?

 

Alassra (xAlassrax): I am so glad you asked Ely!  We actually do have HUGE news on this front!  We officially closed the deal Sunday afternoon (August 8) on this expansion, so it is OFFICIAL!!  Eclipse has taken over Cova Restaurant!  I am not sure how many of your readers are familiar with Cova, but it was this AMAZING restaurant and resort located on the mainland that was owned and operated by Caleb & Kali Colton.  It is beautiful and the restaurant is set up inside of a cave!!  We did not want to see SL lose this amazing restaurant experience, so Eclipse decided to take it on as an expansion!  It is now the Eclipse Restaurant & Events - Kaneana Cavern dining experience!  It will provide 'walk-in' immediate dining options, as well as reservations, and another amazing and unique aspect is we will be able to fly or sail our clients in from the airport or public dock locations on the mainland!  This expansion is also Moderate in rating, therefore it provides a more family-friendly environment for those with kids!  And an amazing mini golf course that can be enjoyed after dinner or while you wait to be seated! 

 

EC:  Congratulations!  While on the tour around the sim, I noticed a few other activities, shops, and private places.  Can you tell us a little more about them?

 

Alassra (xAlassrax):  I sure can!  The Deviant Dragon Sim not only houses Eclipse Restaurant but it also is the home to the Dragon's Tail Tavern, which is an amazing biker-themed bar located along the Dragon's Tail Track!  We have several regular live singers performing there each month, and we are always looking for DJs and hosts to take up some of our open set times as well!  We have a mall that is accepting rentals for anyone looking for a place to set up shop!  The Dragon's Dream - Reiki & Tarot Spa is also located next to the mall, and we have several packages and ala carte spa services available there!  We have mini golf, bumper cars, an Escape Room, a roller coaster at the start of the track, and a wonderfully fun 80's themed Skating arcade also located along the track!!  There is so much to do and enjoy on the Sim, so we definitely encourage guests to explore!

EC: Do you have a niche or role that needs to be filled? 

 

Alassra (xAlassrax): We do!  We are currently running our August Amore special event this month and we need participants!!  Think of August Amore as Tinder meets Blind Date meets Speed Dating!  We are offering anyone interested the chance to get to know others in SL risk-free!!  Whether you are looking for love, or just companionship and connections, we welcome anyone to sign up and participate!  The only time there is a fee is IF a participant decides they want to actually meet one of the other participants, and our fees for this are very reasonable, lower than our regular dinner for 2 packages!  We have a "meet & greet" 30-minute option which includes the roleplay server providing drinks & appetizers for the 30-minute time frame at only 750L$, or a full 1-hour 3-course roleplay dinner which is only 1000L$!  We wanted to provide a wonderful way for people to meet each other on SL in a unique and different way than just going to a club or a dating service.  So we for sure need participants signing up for this!  We have several ladies signed up and definitely need more men!  Also are definitely hiring!  We have a huge need for Sales Reps., Dining Hosts, Servers, Photographers, and DJ's! 

EC: Thank you for your time today. Is there anything else that you would like to share with our readers?

 

Alassra (xAlassrax): I feel like we've covered so much, Ely!  Yet it always seems like there's so much more still not addressed!  I mainly would like to encourage your readers to check out our August Amore event and sign up for it!  Details on it can be found here - https://xalassrax.wixsite.com/deviantsims/august-amore-event     

 

I would also like to tell your readers to keep an eye out for our SOS Festival package in Sept., and other special packages that will be coming up for Halloween and more!!  We have a lot of awesome things planned to come!  And even though I have mentioned this already, I want to again express our need for more amazing members to join our staff team!  Especially with our new expansion!  Applications can be found here - https://forms.gle/AqgY3uGhEMJ8oMA59

SPOTLIGHT ON SMOCHAS - Dining and Cannabis Bar - Lanai Jarrico Reporting….

 

Restaurants in Second Life are a great place to gather with friends or go on a date with that special someone. The exquisite SMOCHAS beYou Restaurant and Cannabis Lounge is a unique dining experience sure to provide you and your friends a fun-filled time in a sociable, restaurant-style atmosphere. It is a full-service fine dining role-play experience for the grown and sexy. The comprehensive menu offers everything from beYou food and beverages and all the way up to premium cannabis smoking and edibles. The SL Enquirer met up with MsDemocha to learn more about Smochas.

Interview with DarkEbony Mocha (Ms. Mocha)

SLE: Thank you for taking the time to do this interview with us. How did you discover Second Life and how would you describe your experience so far?

Ms. Mocha: You are so welcome! I am excited to be interviewed.  I was brought to SL by my older siblings Harlem Mocha and Blue Pinelli way back in 2010 after a RL tragedy.  SL was a way to remove the miles that were between us. They knew it was a pivotal time in my life and wanted to be there to look out for me.  I thought I was just logging into a game!  I instantly fell in love with the RP of it all! There is no limit to the amount of fun that a person could have here. I believe in living your SL to the fullest and I believe that I have so far. I had no idea how much I would change over the years nor that I would learn so much about myself playing the game. If I had to use one word to describe my SL it would be “phases”. I have gone through so many of them. Through it all, I have been blessed to cultivate wonderful businesses, friendships, and family bonds in SL.

 

SLE: I am glad to hear you were introduced to Sl by your supportive family and that it helped you.  Second Life is such a unique experience with self-discoveries happening for many people. Myself included.  What an elegantly designed restaurant with accents of black, white, and gold. What inspired you to create SMOCHAS?

  

Ms. Mocha: Thank you. I have learned that I am a visionary and I have a great aptitude for business.  I wanted to start a new one, one that was different and would continually grow. The idea of SMOCHAS was inspired by different places that I visited in RL. I would take pictures of them and give them to Ms. Vanessa Marquez, the SMOCHAS interior designer.  She was able to capture the glamorous and warmth that I desired. Although the restaurant is extremely posh and beautiful, no one feels uncomfortable there.

SLE: It takes a dedicated team to run a real-life successful restaurant. In Second Life I would imagine the same dedication is needed aside from having a full kitchen crew. Can you tell us about your team and their roles at the restaurant?

Ms. Mocha: The SMOCHAS staff is remarkable.  The restaurant would not be the success it is without the dedicated managing team of J. Ziporiah Bradley (operations manager) and Sean Himanez (assistant manager). They are responsible for just about ensuring exceptional execution of every one of SMOCHAS processes and procedures. They do an excellent job of managing an exceptional team of servers, chefs, and budtenders.

 

SLE: I must say you all are keeping up with the times with a Cannabis Lounge as well. Virtually speaking weed is legal across the grid. Can you share with our readers what they can expect from the full-service SMOCHAS experience?

 

Ms. Mocha: It’s totally exciting from the moment you are greeted and seated. Your professional SMOCHAS server will guide you through your 4-course meal. If you have made reservations for the SMOCHAS Cannabis Lounge then after dinner you will be escorted to the lounge to end your evening with the very best joints and edibles SL has to offer. It’s the perfect end to a wonderful evening out and you are right virtually speaking, it’s legal across the grid.

 

SLE: You got the hospitality to role-play down! I noticed a beautiful white baby grand piano in the center of the restaurant. Do you host live musicians to entertain guests, or is that for special occasions?

Ms. Mocha: We often have live singers and musicians perform for our guests. We have had spectacular vocalists like Mr. Tony Slade, Ms. TJ O. Jobert, and Ms. Steph Sinatra. Some of my most memorable nights are of a lounge full of avatars vibing off our cannabis products while being serenaded by some of SL’s best vocalists.

 

 

 

In fact, we will have Mr. Tony Slade and Ms. Samm Qendra in the cannabis lounge this Thursday, June 17th at 5 pm SLT.  The performances are open to all.

SLE: I think that is a fantastic addition to fine dining in Second Life! Do you take reservations for special events, private parties, or are walk-ins OK?

Ms. Mocha: Yes, for all three.  We have had engagement parties, corporate anniversary parties, birthday parties, 420 parties, and many other special events.

 

 

SLE: One of the most important things that make the dining experience feel more realistic is the selection of food guests can order. What’s on the comprehensive BeYou food and beverage menu?

Ms. Mocha: Way too many dishes to name.  I can tell you that some of my favs are the Lobster Piquant, SMOCHAS Specialty Steak*, and the Mocha Resplendence Cake.  There is something for every food lover on the menu.

 

SLE:  We are seeing a lot of venues starting to become family-friendly. Can guests bring their children or is it discouraged because of the Cannabis Lounge? 

Ms. Mocha: Everyone is invited and encouraged to have dinner at SMOCHAS.  High chairs and booster seating are available for the babies. However, the Cannabis Lounge is for adults only.

 

SLE: I love that it is family-friendly, I hear a lot of families struggle to find venues that accept them and their children. It was a pleasure meeting with you and learning more about what you do. We wish you all the best with SMOCHAS. Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?

Ms. Mocha:  Yes, Mogul Mondays - Krazy Karaoke!  We teamed up with Chaotic Mogul Enterprises to present every Monday evening at 5 pm SLT, Krazy Karaoke!  It takes over the cannabis lounge and it has such a unique vibe.  It’s not an Open Mic.  There is no competition going on at all. It’s a group of awesome people, kicking back, forgetting that it’s the beginning of another work week, and singing their favorite songs.  I would love to say that we are all great singers, most of us only sing in the showers, but I also think that is the best part.  We sing because we love the songs and the fun we have singing it. It’s the best no judgment zone I have ever encountered, and the amount of laughter and fun we all have is outrageous!

Additional Information

Reservations are accepted on Tuesday - Sunday weekly from 4 pm - 8 pm SLT and Walk-in are accepted on Friday and Saturday nights from 5 pm – 7 pm SLT.
