    The fact I have never stumbled upon this place is wild. The prices are absolutely the best for the quality. I had a 10oz rib eye cooked perfectly w/Demi with mashed potatoes and asparagus for $32 it’s was absolutely the best steak I have had in I don’t know how long. Cocktails prices are great as well. My lady had the Elk burger and it was perfect. The servers were so attentive and talkative this place is seriously on of the best in the Portland. Can’t beat the prices for the quality of food you get.

    I had a great experience at The Observatory! I ordered the lamb burger and it was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The French fries were hot and crispy, which made it even better. I also tried the lavender gin lemon drop. It was a little too strong for my taste, but still very well, made and flavorful. Our server was very attentive and made the whole experience even better. I ended up switching to a cider, which I really enjoyed. My daughter had the pulled pork BBQ sandwich and a guava ginger mimosa both were delicious. Everything we tried was satisfying, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this spot!

    Fell in love at first sight w this place. Has a lot of personality. I am guessing they had 24 Christmas stockings hanging up around the room, so let’s say it’s a very festive place too! My husband loved his lamb burger and fries w a tasty root beer. He said he woukd order it again. I loved their chicken Asian salad. It was excellent! Bartender was very skilled it seemed to me. I only drank water but the couple beside me had about eight drinks all together and the bartender was quick and focused on delivering a good drink it seemed to me!!
