Ocean Lily

From The Yuriban Encyclopedia

The Ocean Lily is a seafood restaurant located on Maboroshi. Originally constructed by Yui, it then passed into the hands of Katrina, who departed Yuriba as well, and then to Mikela whom cleaned the place up after it was damaged by rising sea water during the quakes preceding Inishie-san's eruption in March of 2007, later adding a deck onto the back of the restaurant to support outdoor dining. It is now in the hands of Abryn, who took it over in early January of 2008. She seems to have put a lot of work into restoring the place after re-hiring Mu-Chu and Aya.

The current layout of the restaurant is much the same as it has always been, its simplicity honoured by Abryn as well. It consists of an open general seating area that is gathered around the main cooking station, designed so that the chef can do small demonstrations and cook for special gatherings. Along the edges are a few more private booths, all worked out in a modern style that mimics the traditional Japanese architecture of the nearby structures.

The Ocean Lily is best known for its seafood dishes, all fresh caught from the waters around the island. It's probably the closest thing Yuriba has to a formal restaurant, even possessing a small wine list and dessert selection to accompany meals there. It is staffed by the waitress Aya and the sommelier Mu-Chu. Abryn has been quite busy updating the various menus, keeping all of the old favorites, but also teaching Aya quite a few new tricks. She has also rescued a poor homeless bunnygirl called Daera, hiring her to work service and cook for those that wish to dine on the deck. As of Spring of 2008, Miyabi has also been added to the staff as a waitress when her schedule allows.
