In the heart of Houston, located in the historic warehouse district, in the erie city iron works building, on the corner of Nance Street, you'll find Oxheart. It's a relatively new restaurant in Houston that uses local, seasonal ingredients. It's fine dinnin' baby! The restaurant is small and intimate with an open kitchen so anywhere you sit you'll be able to see the chef hard at work. Each dish is served as if it were a piece of art! Chef Justin Yu really comes up with some super creative, ah. maz. ing dishes, all with incredibly unique flavor combinations that just light up your palette!!! His wife Karen Man is the baker and makes the pastries, which are also fantastic. And Justin Vann is their phenomenal sommelier. All are very friendly and come to your table to serve you throughout the night.
They only serve dinner and you can choose from 3 menus. There is a vegetarian option so that was really nice for us! It's a perfect restaurant for date night or to catch up with an old girlfriend. The atmosphere is great, the decor is cozy, and you really can't beat the food and service!
Anyway, please check out their website to find out more about them because I'm afraid I don't have the vocabulary to give this place and the food justice.
Back to what this is all about . . . the BS (bathroom situation).
When you walk in you'll notice the door that has the letters WC (water closet).
For some reason I assumed that this one door was a unisex one-staller! I IMMEDIATELY started to panic. "Quick!, momma needs a draank! Make it a strong one!"
Throughout my meal I kept wondering what was behind that door. I was very nervous. The good thing was that our reservations were at 5:30 so the place hadn't filled up yet and I felt comfortable with the ratio of people to potties at that point. Once more people started showing up I started to get really anxious.
Genius husband suggested I check out what was behind that door, perhaps it was a door that led to several bathrooms.
Sure enough, it was! Behind the WC door there was a separate women's and men's room. The bathrooms were done up with graffiti on the wall, it was a very cute space! It was very clean, but a tad on the small side. No changing table or purse hook that I recall (honestly at that point I was just so relieved to find out their BS wasn't a unisex one-staller that I forgot to check!).
To sum it up, the BS was easy to find, easy access, very clean, a bit small, BUT the walls were thick and I felt very comfortable that no one could hear my shit! The little hallway between the WC door and the women's room was also a nice buffer zone.
Love the restaurant, love the food, love the service, but the BS needs a little help.
