Reviews for The Observatory in Portland, OR
As usual, The Observatory does not disappoint. Amazing food, great atmosphere and some of the best drinks in Portland. Had the... Reuben, Lamb Burger and Garlic Parmesan Rosemary Fries as well as their Happy Hour drink (Vanilla Jim Beam Kentucky Mule), TheCapricorn and Prickly Pear Pineapple Margarita. Everything was fantastic, our server (Julia) was absolutely amazing. If you'relooking for a great place for some fantastic food and drinks, definitely stop here. You won't regret it! Read more
We had about a 15 minute wait.. no biggie. The team here was great . It's nice to see everyone working together. Makes for... smooth shifts. The food was absolutely delicious. The wings sat on a bed of coleslaw. The coleslaw was different from anyother that I have had. In a good way, very crisp and fresh. I will bump this one to one of the top 2 best coleslaw that I havehad. The art on the wall are from local artists. Fun to look at. Read more
This place is great! Very friendly and attentive staff with delicious food and a good atmosphere. The lamb burger was juicy and... topped with a savory bun. Side salad was well made too. Also food came out quick. Overall great job! Read more
Met some friends for lunch here and there was no wait for a table. All the food options looked amazing and the fries were out of... this world! We sat in the back room area which was quiet and cool. The mimosas were a great choice! All in all is was a reallycute spot with really great food Read more
Absolutely speechless ???? The Elk Burger and the Catch of the Day were top notch - the Salmon melted in your mouth like butter... ???????? We ordered 5 total dishes and each one that arrived was perfection. This was the first time that we have ever finishedevery single bite of food at a restaurant and also it's rare that I actually complete a meal without feeling gross afterwards.This meal was the optimal balance of healthy, filling, good portions and delicious!! ???????????? Now onto the boring stuff. Wecame around 7PM on a Thursday night and were seated in a booth like requested, within 5 mins. When we left, there were a fewopen tables. Parking was quick but also could have been luck. This is not a place for a quiet date night though. It was loudfrom all the talking but also quiet enough to where you can hear your party just fine (most of the time haha). We were thereyesterday and already craving to go back ?????? Read more
Nice place for dinner. We got there just before 5 and didn't have to wait for a table. At 6:30, when we left, there was a... small line. The macaroni and cheese was good, the lamb burger was good, the wings were outstanding, and the drinks were great. I really liked the vibe with the art for sale in the hall, the back room and mixture of booth and tables. Read more

The aesthetic was wonderful and the servers were outgoing and friendly.This is one of those hidden gems you want to keep coming back too ???? Read more
Delicious food in a cozy atmosphere! Drinks were OK. They do say they're spicy, but would have liked to taste something other... than spice. The food was great. Meatloaf was okay, mashed potatoes were amazing. The steak was the star of the show -- I wish Iwould have gotten that, but I stole a few bites. Read more
