This month my dinner club met at Arbor House International Restaurant in Talent, Oregon. I have heard such great things about this restaurant over the last couple years that I've really developed an interest in trying it. It definitely lived up to it's reputation. The restaurant is quiet and clean. the servers are knowledgable and amiable. The food is TO-DIE-FOR. And the staff works to prepare the food to the individual's taste. Remarkable.
About the restroom...my first impression wasn't the greatest. When I walked in, the first thing I noticed where the 3 highchairs crowding the room. As a self-acclaimed bathroom expert, I just don't think the restroom is the best place for highchairs. But I must have been on some kind of high from the great food because after my initial response I kind of got over it. I chalked it up to being a part of Arbor House personality....laid back. The bathroom was immaculately clean and so were the highchairs. The room was stylish in a cute, funky, 1970's hippie-ish way.
There was nice, large mirror in the fairly large one seater facility. There was also a chair crowded in with the highchairs. Good for a place to store your purse or coat.
I thought the corkboard made from wine bottle corks was so cute. The ceramics lining the bathroom window are a nice touch, too.
The framed art work on the walls was of local events and things that the Valley is well-known for like A Taste of Ashland and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The bathroom was well stocked with needed supplies & had amenities such as air freshener & hand lotion. There are nice little touches like the decorative tile above the basin. I am going to award this restroom 2 and three-quarters rolls. It hit the mark in all areas but must have a quarter roll deduction for the highchairs. Not bad, at all. I highly recommend this restaurant!
