What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published Oct. 4, 2009 at 7:17 p.m.

It has been more than seven years since I posted an article listing my favorite public restrooms, but to this day, I do not frequent a bar or restaurant without checking out the washroom, regardless of whether or not I truly have to go.

Last night, a group of friends and I checked out the new Mexican restaurant, Coa, 5750 N. Port Washington Rd., and after the second margarita, el nature called. I was already a fan of the restaurant's contemporary lounge-y decor, so not surprisingly, I found myself extremely impressed with the OCD-clean and perfectly lit restroom.

However, my favorite aspect of Coa's powder room is the frosted glass that allows you to see silhouettes in the stalls, but not a single detail more than shadow. It's just plain sassy, but in a tasteful way.

Overall, I enjoyed my evening at Coa. The bacon-and-cherry-salsa-filled tacos and traditional margaritas made with tequila and lime juice created a unique (and tipsy) Mexican dining experience. Hence, the sweet bathrooms were the proverbial icing on the cake, or more appropriately stated, the sugar on the rim of a strawberry margarita.

I totally agree that the food, drinks and atmosphere were awesome. But the ladies bathroom is missing a crucial detail - a hook or ledge inside the stall. No matter how clean the bathroom may appear no one wants to put their purse on the floor!

Great article - I enjoy looking at all aspects of restaurants when I visit. I will be sure to make it to the restroom of COA the next time I go. Marc and Marta definitely know how to make every experience enjoyable! :)
