I had heard good things about this new spot but was not at all prepared for the bathroom experience. And when I say experience, I don't think I'm stretching too much. First, to get to the bathroom, you walk out what looks like an exit or fire door into a back hallway which made me think of the alley way backstage at a theater - concrete and cold. I got in line behind 2 other people for the two single unisex stalls (for a decently large restaurant). It was a cold night, so the hallway is quite drafty.
Finally it's my turn. The bathroom is done in all black - black tiles, toilet and sink, with a slate floor. The sink was one of those square slabs. The stall was pretty roomy with a stand for extra toilet paper, etc.
But what I found the most interesting part of the bathroom was the ceiling. Since we were clearly in an unfinished warehouse-type hall, the restaurant tried to add something to the ceiling to finish off the restroom. So they covered it with large black panels, staggered at different levels. Perhaps it was to absorb sound, but it looks more like a design element, extending the whole restroom up to the ceiling.
I wasn't really sure what to make of it, but didn't want to stay in the bathroom too long to figure it out - it was chilly! Here's more about Posto.
