The Observatory

We came here a couple hours before closing on 4/3 and sat in the back room. We had come in to celebrate my birthday after leaving a different restaurant that ended up being a nightmare. The Observatory saved the evening! The service and food were fantastic, and our server made excellent recommendations. We ordered the cheese platter to share, I got the strip steak and my fiance had the Mac and cheese with andouille. We are moving to the area soon, and we will definitely become regulars

The lamb burger was amazing, and so was the service.

Cool American restaurant in the Montavilla neighborhood that's perfect for a date night. My partner and I stopped by after catching a movie in the nearby theatre, and there are a couple of different options for seating. The front has a more typical restaurant feeling to it, and the back is more like a casual dive bar with televisions, but they serve the same food. Service is friendly and efficient in both areas. They make a great macaroni and cheese here and offer a lot of higher end but not unreasonably priced takes on classic American foods. They also have some pretty cool drinks, including some that are not alcoholic, like fruity lemonades. The atmosphere was really nice overall. It's definitely a place I would recommend.

-I ordered the mac and cheese, it was alright, but kind of flavorless. The mango lemonade was an interesting combination but it wasnt bad. -Staff was very nice and they moved quickly. -Atmosphere was great. I really enjoyed it. I would recommend this place, even if the food isnt my thing. Maybe its just what I ordered.
