Last night we ventured into Ashland again for dinner club to dine at the Dragonfly. They have a very pretty outdoor dining area with terraced gardens, shade trees and twinkly lights strewn along fences and up tree trunks. Our server was knowledgable and spunky. The drinks were okay. They don't seem to have alot of basics on hand (no spiced rum...really?) for a full bar. However, the food was to die for. Excellent preparation and wonderful selection. The atmosphere at Dragonfly is comfortable and laid back. The restroom was...interesting. It is a one seater, as I like to call them, so there are no stalls. I waited in the hallway until it became available.
The bathroom has some nice features. There are colorful, framed photographs on the walls that catch the eye. There is a table near the basin which is nice for setting your purse, etc on (here you will notice my cute, BIG purse which I purchased at a great little boutique on NW 23rd in Portland, OR.) Fun place to shop! A nice big mirror hangs above the pedestal basin. and you know how important a decent mirror is! But other than the table and large mirror there were no other comfort features. 
The bathroom was not super clean but it was tolerable. The toilet paper and paper towels were well stocked. So this bathroom does have some decent features but now we must discuss the "interesting" features. First lets touch on the obvious: that green wall paint. Now I realize that some people (somewhere) may really like this color of paint. I, however, have an aversion to it. My personal opinion is that it looks like the color of flu season or baby doody. Two things that you really don't want to think about when you are out to eat. Not that it was truly that appalling or anything, but when Dragonfly chose their bathroom paint I think they went for whatever was on the bargain table that day. The next interesting feature we will discuss is the closet located in the bathroom. It has no doors...just a sliding black woven screen across the door frame...and I am pretty sure the Boogey Man lives there. 
The Boogey Man and I have a relationship. It is a rocky one & we go waaay back. Although I have never actually seen him, I know that he likes to lurk behind my shower curtain, under my bed, and in my closet. Well, Dragonfly's bathroom closet must be his primary residence. Its dark and creepy and has 2 more doors inside: one leading to his torture chambers and the other to the gates of hell. Just kidding, this closet functions as a cleaning supplies closet but I highly recommend that Dragonfly invest in the installation of some real doors with locks on it. Between the pukey green paint and the Boogey Man hide-out, a girl can get a little distracted in that room of un-rest!
All these doors and cleaning paraphernalia you see here are inside the closet. So to conclude this review I give the womens' bathroom at the Dragonfly 1/4 roll for style & aesthetics, 1/4 roll for cleanliness & 1/4 roll for comfort. That is a total of 3/4 of a roll on the 3 roll system. I hope the Dragonfly uses this as constructive criticism. It would just take a few simple changes to make the restroom live up to the greatness of the rest of the restaurant.
