Aside from a killer ginger ale, and pretty solid appetizers, Big Bowl at Rosedale Mall also boasts one of the best bathrooms in the metro area. I would presume that this extends to just about any other Big Bowl you go to.
Go there for a ginger ale or four, then make sure to stop in to the restroom to get rid of it. You won't regret it.
Vital stats
2 stalls (one appears to be handicap accessible, though the restaurant can get super crowded making it har for disabled people to get to the facilities)
1 Urinal
Smells - Not quite like roses, but pretty nice. The air freshener was working and smelled decent enough. Kind of a spicy, potpurri kind of thing.
Overall look - Pretty dang good. Cool art hung on the walls, sinks are a really cool basin design. I didn't use the stalls, but i would guess they are average quality. It was also very warm and pretty bright.
I would have taken a photo, but someone was in one of the stalls, and it's awkward enough that someone's writing a blog about bathrooms. Let alone having to explain why I'm taking a photo-not of you, i swear!-in an occupied bathroom. I do have a small bit of class.
Aside from the decor, it was a smidge dirty, with paper towels crawling out of the baskets, like tentacles, but it was in the peak of the dinner rush and that was really the only offense. Besides the counter looking like the Shamu show had just finished from someone's vigorous hand washing. So, no marks off there, they keep it up very well.
An oddity to note. The urinal had a rather large and unsightly hot pink "splash guard," which i'd never seen before. I can't imagine why that would be necessary, unless someone with unusually strong flow complained. Again, no complaint, just weird.
Rating - 5 out of 5 flushes. Great bathroom!
PS, try the spare-ribs appetizer.
