WARNING: INSPECT YOUR BILLS AND CALCULATE YOUR OWN TIP PERCENTAGE. We frequent here and usually never have any issues. Once in a while, we order a drink we don't like and have it switched out. I really appreciate the servers being really nice and accommodating doing this. HOWEVER, this time, we noticed the bill tip percentage was higher than the actual correct percentage. I realized that they calculate the tip based on everything you order, including orders you sent back.. I switched my drinks. Yes, they take it off the bill, but the tips are based on the bill with that drink before they take it off... it's so shady... Yes, it's in the small fine print, but the fact that they do it anyway doesn't sit well with me. My gripe is with the restaurant. Why are your tips not calculated on the TOTAL bill after adjustments??? It's just SO shady. What if someone ordered a higher priced meal, didn't like it, and opted for a lower priced option? It feels so scammy. This makes me sad because we really liked this place but do not support predatory practices. Do better.

I wandered into The Observatory this evening, was promptly seated in the back room with the bar and billiard table. The waiter was at my table immediately with a welcome and a menu. He was back in the right amount of time to take my order. Wonder of wonders, they had decent black tea in Chinese restaurant size pots! He and the kitchen were prompt in delivering my dark kale salad, chicken pate' w/prosciutto "appetizer", and tea, including the milk and low-calorie sweetener, as well as a plate with many napkins and utensils. Love that salad! full of dried fruits and seeds, slightly sweet lightly-applied dressing topped with a pile of shaved Parmesan. On my other plate, a generous slab of tasty pate' wrapped in the very thin uncooked ham, lots of cornichons, pickled red onions, peppers, 2 kinds of mustard, crackers and sliced baguette. The waiter checked back with me unobtrusively a couple of times to be sure that I had everything I wanted. He was quick to respond to my "check, please" signal, take my card and return with my receipt. I was totally satisfied! It's not a fancy place, but the food is excellent, the waitstaff attentive, the portions generous and the prices reasonable. For me, they get extra credit for providing a big pot of tea! Many thanks!
