There have definitely been improvements to this bathroom since Sonoma opened a few years ago. I vaguely remember it being one stall with the toilets back to back and no doors around them. Check out this review from Roll Call back in 2005:
"Sonoma's puzzling unisex bathroom on the main floor contains two toilets, partially obscured by partitions - the key word being partially. A sign on the inside of the door instructs patrons to lock the door. This bathroom was built for women who go to the restroom together ... and no one else. "There's always a line," our waitress told us, with a hint of exasperation in her voice. And that line? It forms precariously close to the constantly swinging kitchen doors."
But things have improved (even a poster on donrockwell.com noticed). They've made the bathroom into two stalls, which didn't improve the wait time but definitely made me less nervous to go to the bathroom.
The single stall I went into was modern with clean lines, and the paper towels were the heavy cloth type - the kind between actual cloth and paper. I liked the stainless steel soap dispenser, rather than one on the wall. Behind the white trough sink, the waste basket was made of dark wicker and didn't seem to quite fit. The restroom was clean enough and non-descript as if it didn't want to distract from anything else.Here's more on Sonoma.
