Have loved the observatory for many years. The cheese platter and fry bread never disappoint!
Wonderful bar in the back to grab some cocktails and enjoy an evening out.

This is a great first date place. The food presentation was outstanding. However, we felt it was a little blan. They use RC soda products here, which are flat at the bar but have carbonation if gotten from the back. Amazing happy hour!
Kid-friendliness: Not great for kiddos.
Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of wheelchair accessibility tables.

This place is cool. The atmosphere is laid back. Regina was a great waitress. I had the Elk Burger...it was great. Got it with a Tomato Bisque soup. It was very good. Great place for lunch. Oh! Take a look at the artwork down the hall to the bathroom. Some fun paintings.

Great food, wait staff, bartender, and vibe. Emma, the hostess the night I was there, could not have been more friendly and helpful. A gem of a restaurant. Everything on the menu is delicious!

Affordable and elegant. Highly recommend. Gareth was a delight and knew the menu inside and out.
Friendly staff and great food!
I used to support this restaurant and their bar, Over and Out, but after recent events came to light, I can't give them my money anymore. I will not support a business that doesn't support POC.
Also, one of the owners thought it was okay to perform a sieg heil behind the bar during dinner service... Not once, but twice. Disturbing that this is happening in such a diverse neighborhood.

Great food. Got the chicken salad and it was very filling! It was dinner, lunch, and then dinner again.
I understand wanting to have the lights a little dim, but when you have to use the candle on the table to read your menu, it's time to light a couple more candles!
