Where to Drink and Dine in Historic Montavilla
"The Observatory, a handsome mid-2000s vintage restaurant and bar, has become a Montavilla staple, and happily manages to keep its Northwest cuisine feeling as vital as ever. Seafood leads the appetizer offerings while the entree focus is burgers, made with everything from elk and lamb to quinoa and mushroom. Affordable cocktails are a major draw, and those primarily looking to imbibe can skip the main restaurant and settle into the cozy Over and Out next door, with a smaller food menu coming from the same kitchen." - Janey Wong, Nathan Williams
