The restroom in this New York City staple looks about as old as the restaurant itself. It's bright and sort of pastel colored. I expected there to be more than three stalls. But it was incredibly clean. However, it did have one those annoying attendants who turns on the faucet for you and hands you a paper towel. She didn't squirt the soap on your hands and there weren't mints or hairspray or anything so I guess it wasn't too over the top.
If you're interested in Sardi's.

Houston's
Wednesday, 12/19/07, 11 pm - Midtown East
I would have thought the bathroom here would be really nice. But like the service, I was a little let down. The decor was well-done and sleek -- dark, marble-looking floor and sinks. The stall doors go all the way to the floor, but don't remain open, so it's really hard to know if someone's in them. When I got into the stall, it was a mess (despite the two employees chatting it up in the restroom).
The hooks on the back of the dark wood slotted door didn't seem to make too much sense to me. One was about waste high, which I guess is good for your purse. The other hook is at the top of the door, way out of my reach. The sinks area was also messy - water all over the place.

Tarallucci e Vino
Sunday, 12/16/07, 12:30 pm - Union Square
I wasn't expecting much from the bathroom in this stripped down Italian eatery, but I was pleasantly surprised. The bare wood matched the restaurant's interior. There was a simple toilet and a cute sink with lovely hand soap and hand lotion. I definitely approve.

Le Zie
Sunday, 12/9/07, 7:30 pm - Chelsea
I had the chance to use both of the single stalls in this Italian restaurant. They were both clean, in design and sanitation. Small white titles lined the walls, and both had mirrors with ornate gold frames and sleek, stainless steal garbage cans. One had a glass shelf above the sink holding paper towels.

Tai Thai

This restaurant doesn't look like much. But the bathroom is surprising. Heading down the stairs, you come to a frosted-glass door with a male and female caricature on it. Behind there is a huge single stall, clean and modern. There's a slate floor and a raised-bowl sink, with a sleek faucet. The one thing that did stand out to me was a sign that told you not to flush paper towels down the toilet, but there aren't paper towels in the bathroom -- just a hand dryer. I guess they remedied that situation easily.
They don't have a website, but here's the menupages profile.
