What restaurant was this?

Not to cast an air of mystery about it, I know this is a very long, wordy answer to what should have just been the name of the restaurant, but I feel bad, as the place is so young (2 weeks!). Crap! I just couldn't help but put this pic up for you to see Martha, I found it so funny! What if someone had something other than tp to put in the loo, as is custom? Made me laugh.

Plus, I had an alright meal there, might even go back. I just cannot believe that a place serving stylish imported water, a sake menu, soju menu and OK food at rather high prices could then have this sort of sign up in the loo and no espresso machine.

I expect they'll invest in those things, and a new carpet (hopefully) as soon as they can afford it.

I guess that I am, in general, when it comes to places that are insinuating style and taste, overly concerned about both the loo and the coffee. Things that don't matter so much in the grand scheme of dinner.

P.S. check your e-mail for more bollocks, nonsense and stuff, from me

Was it an old building? I've noticed in a lot of older buildings with older plumbing, it's an issue when ladies put their, um, lady hygiene items into the system.

And I do always feel that it's sort of unfair to eat someplace that's so very very new. Last year in Nashville, we ate at two places right after they opened that are supposed to be very nice and super swank now, but that were working through major menu or service issues when we were there.

Not sure about the building age--it looks quite new though.

I guess priorities vary depending on the sort of restaurant too.

yeah, I think you're right--and hopefully, in a couple months, those things will be sorted, because I kind of liked the place.

Unfortunately, I can totally relate to the sign. Yesterday, we had to snake the main poo drain which runs from everything that holds water out to the septic tank." I used to believe there was a poo monster which lived under the ground and I was happy in my denial" It was horrible! Someone, we think the plumber, had flushed a rather large blue rag and it was stuck causing the sort of problems one never wants to deal with. Martha, if your reading this, Abram had to perform the actual snaking- I had to give him a zanax so he could stop gagging. I stayed back at a very safe distance. So, be aware of what you flush and pray to God you never have to post the sign over your own potty.

Man, why didn't you get pictures! I'd give a lot for evidence of Abram, on xanax, gagging over a clogged toilet!

By tejal on May 13, 2006 4:04 PM

Wow, that's pretty intense. And yes, I do pray I never have to post that sign over my own loo!

My dear Martha, Abram wasn't standing over a clogged toilet. You know that stone cover in the front yard, the one that when removed allows you to see down into the actual septic tank? Now your getting the visual....He had to access the main drain from the top side of the inside of the septic tank itself, bent down over it on his knees. I had it cleaned by Jones Septic Service the day before so at least it wasn't full of what Mr. Jones refers to as solids.He fed this industrial electric snake about 75' up into the 4" round cast iron pipe that runs all the way through our house and then had to pull the snake back out again. The blue rag which was wound around the snake wasn't clean and neither was the line that came back out.I will tell you once you've seen into the depths of the septic system, your innocence is lost forever. Thus the need for a xanax.
