Jill: Good Bathrooms Needed, Too

In a Spokesman-Review column, correspondent Jill Barville (pictured, from her 3Rs blog) writes that restaurants must have good food -- and good bathrooms, too: "In today’s age of entertainment sections, online review sites, five-star rating systems and old-fashioned word-of-mouth, there are a plethora of ways to prejudge a restaurant before taking the first bite. But nobody seems to mention the unmentionable. Bathrooms. Something so simple yet important shouldn’t be overlooked, especially when establishments seem to be trending toward trendy with lavatory design. An uncommon topic, our conversation turned to commodes at our recent girls’ night gathering after one of my friends returned from the restrooms, a perplexed look on her face." More here.

Question: How important is it to you that a restaurant maintain good bathrooms, as well as provide good meal at reasonable prices and ambience?
