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.
