Luna Rest Tavern is an eatery in Mist Harbor that sells food. Located off the Firefly Villa porch, it boasts an extensive menu of food and drink, available in the bar and in the kitchen. There are also nine tables in the Common Room: Lighthouse Table, Sand Castle Table, Lush Vineyard Table, Blue Wisteria Table, Busy Beachcomber Table, Dilapidated Driftwood Table, Puffing Clouds Table, Essence of the Forest Table, and Glass Peach Pit Table. You can order from a menu while seated at a table, though not while merely standing in the room.

Stretching from one end of the room to the other is an enormous bar, its glossy surface illuminated by glaesine orbs that dangle from the ceiling. Surrounding the bar are several some wooden stools, their spindle legs carved into the shape of dragonflies and their backs embossed with the image of luna moths. Brighter lights spill in from the commons to the north, while moonlight streaks across the teak floors from the open doors.

Ambients

A gangly man moves about the kitchen, sweeping up any scraps that have hit the floor.

Flirting outrageously with the head chef, a bouncy waitress moves through the kitchen, plucking up her customer's order.  She boldly winks at the chef and then leaves, her departure eliciting catcalls and whistles.

Sitting quietly by the roasting pit, a young boy slowly turns the rotisserie and ensures that the meat cooks evenly.

A disturbance in the commons causes the entire cooking staff to disappear into the other room for several moments.  As they return, some of them are laughing and animatedly pantomiming the flight of a bird.  The head chef rolls his eyes and scolds them back to their duties.
