"Excellent," he replies with a smile. "Please follow me. The first floor and gardens are intended for small groups while the second floor is for larger parties who wish more privacy. Our servers are invisible so to make you order each table has a lotus tile in it's center which one simply needs tap. When a servant is near and ready to receive your order, the tile will glow."
As he speaks he leads them to the stairs in the center of the building near the kitchens which are open to the room. Once they climb to the next level, the kitchen is no longer open but closed behind panels. The decorations of the rooms are more subtle up here as well, as if the rooms don't wish to distract from the conversation of the guests.
"There is one more room above us but it is an aerie for the birds of our guests. It is unacceptable by normal means. Each room on this level is warded against traveling sound so as to not disturb nearby guests and to provide a measure of privacy. As well downstairs each table has a minor sound ward and the screens we can use to isolate the tables for privacy are warded as well."
