We dined with Charles (my former co-worker from the Birmingham Marriott) and his wife, Heather.
I guess I need to hurry up and post my notes quickly because some of these places are no longer in business. Unfortunately, Trois is one of them; judging from my Google search, it closed recently.
The food was very good; the menu was limited.
The decor was beautiful, modeled after the photos we often see of Greece. The interior was clean, painted in bright white and accented with long, flowing sheer curtains throughout the restaurant.
I enjoyed the complimentary gazpacho, chocolate and champagne (of course, any free food or drinks usually get my vote)!
This restaurant would have received a 9 rating, ranked right up there with my all-time favorite (BluePointe), had it not been for the horrible bathroom experience after dinner.
First of all, the restrooms are inconveniently located on a floor separate from the main dining area. Secondly, I hate unisex restrooms and "these" were just that.
Next, I opened three restroom doors before I found one with a toilet that wasn't overflowing.
Finally, the last straw, it took me at least 10 minutes to find the stupid flush button on the toilets. It's no wonder that the other toilets weren't flushed....no one could figure out how to flush those ridiculous things! There was even a sign posted on the restroom door expaining where the flush button was located, but even then it still took great effort to locate the button.
So you may be asking yourself, "Where in the world was the flush button?" Well, it was located on the toilet bowl below the toilet seat. The button was flush with the bowl...hard to see. I'm sure some designer thought this sleek look would be a big hit in a trendy restaurant...but this is a perfect example when design just doesn't outweigh function. It probably continued to be a disaster for the restaurant. Although we had a great dining experience, we never returned.
