I don't know if this is the right place to put this . . . or if there is a right place to put this. Es and Primrose, feel free to move this if you think it belongs elsewhere. I am having a little trouble. I have been avoiding naming Piper's restaurant for the longest time, but now I find that I need a name for it. I was hoping for help. I want something that in someway points back either to their magic or their family, but I don't want it to simply be named Piper's or Halliwell's. Also don't want something that sends out a beacon to demons saying "This place is run by a Charmed One." If anyone comes up with an idea that fits this and is okay with me using it, I will give them credit the first chapter of a story it is used in, if they would like. So far the only thing that sounds remotely workable that I have come up with is "Enchanted Dining". Does anyone have any ideas?

If you went with Enchanted, I think Enchanted Diner sounds more like a place then enchanted dining.
I like the ring of Enchanted Tavern too. Maybe even the Crystal Cafe. I asked another friend of mine for a suggestion and he suggested the Magic Spoon, which I thought was cute and appropriate for Piper.
I used an online thesaurus looking up other words for restaurant. Most of them I didn't feel appropriate, but I am reprinting the list, just in case you disagree.
automat, barbecue, beanery, bistro, brasserie, buffet, cafe, cafeteria, canteen, chophouse, diner, eatery, eating-house, inn, luncheonette, pizzeria, porterhouse, rathskeller, refectory, rotisserie, steakhouse, tavern, tearoom, trattoria

How about theManor? There is a restaurant near me called theShed, hence where I got the inspiration. You've also got Warren's or perhaps you could name it after a spice which is commonly used in potions. Or my personal favourite: Decadence or The Decadence Restaurant.

Long week. Very long. I have her restaurant as a fancy place. I neglected to mention that. Some of your suggestions sound good, but not for fine dining. Daniel, I had already considered Warren's. It didn't work for me, but certainly a good suggest. I liked the idea of calling it "The Manor". I saw that you had is as one word, but I couldn't do that. It sounds upscale and it definately connects back to them. I would like to use it. I will give you credit for it of course. I am posting these stories in about four places right now, though two of them are behind the others, and I might forget to give you credit on those. On ff I'll be posting tonight or tomorrow and here I will make sure to give you credit. I'll put it in the author's notes section since I'm trying not to comment on anything until after I get reviews and thuse answering those. Thank you both for your help. Aurora, thanks for the thesaurus look up. You're right that most don't fit, but that was nice of you to do that.
