Of you plan on going to eat at The Observatory restaurant, make a reservation and expect to enjoy a stunning 3 or 4 course meal. Service is exceptional as well as the chefs creations. If youre able to book a table by the window youll enjoy stunning views of Vancouver and of course, the mountain youre sitting on. Highly recommend your next romantic or special evening to take place at this restaurant.
Courtenay Octavia and Jennifer are the best they made the food taste better just with their presence. Would highly recommend.
Service and wait staff were friendly and warm. Great location. Unfortunately the food left a lot to be desired - it was subpar. Every dish on our table lacked seasoning and the cook quality was questionable on the meats and fish in particular. It also took an hour and 15 mins for our entree to come out.
