You can absolutely smell the fish and vinegar as soon as you walk through the door, which I think gives the place a very homey pub feel. I ordered a spiked peach Arnold Palmer, which I enjoyed (and it was pleasantly strong) and a glass of the house white, which was good for the price. Our server was very fast and attentive. To eat I got the tomato soup with a grilled cheese, which was absolutely fantastic. The soup was so creamy and flavorful, and I cannot imagine a better meal after spending all day walking outside in the rain. The fries were super crispy and I liked the batter. My partner and I shared some of their breadsticks, which were deliciously baked (fresh!) and came with a super refreshing basil crema and a nice tomato-y dip. Wonderful all. My partner ordered fish and chips, and was surprised to find that it is one large fillet of fish, not multiple pieces like you would typically expect. He said the fish was fine, but a little tough. Overall, a wonderful experience. I definitely hope to return. I highly recommend this place as a refuge during the cold winter months!

But the last few times I've stopped in for a meal, it feels like the food isn't quite as impressive as it used to be. Could be all in my head. Not sure. But it's always a nice spot to hang out and chat with friends, you can get seated quicker if you enter through Over & Out, which basically functions as an extension of the main Observatory, with it's own bar and pool tables.

We were awed by how large and elegant the restaurant was. Orders: $10.99 North West Fresh Black Mussels - from happy hr menu $22 Margarita Sampler - Sweet & Spicy. The Margarita sampler was great - 4 unique flavors. However, I was disappointed by the chips. They were obviously stale or burned. I just had one chip and knew they were off. The mussels were not fresh. My wife was the first to notice, and when I tasted it, I almost spit it out. We also didn't have regular check-in. Once we got our mussels order, nobody showed up until we were ready to checkout. Given the place was not busy, you'd expect at least someone to occasionally come ask how the food or drinks are. None of that. I'd love to come back here someday, maybe it's a one off deal but there's room for improvement in customer service from my humble opinion. They eventually compensated us the mussels when I raised the stale issue - but I don't mess around with bad sea food. Would love to come back next time to better service and food.

Unfortunately, our experience last night was extremely disappointing. We were dining with a visiting family member and had just received our food and first round of drinks. When our waitress--who mentioned it was her first day--came back, I politely ordered a second drink. About 10-15 minutes later, a bartender (whose name was shared with us as Diego by our waitress) brought the drink to the table. Instead of simply delivering it, he spoke to me in an aggressive and condescending tone, telling me this would be the only time a drink would be brought to the table and that next time I needed to go to the bar because they "don't do table service." The issue wasn't the policy--it was the way it was communicated. It felt disrespectful, unprofessional, and completely lacking in basic customer service. Shortly after, our waitress returned and asked if the bartender had been upset about the order, which added to how uncomfortable the situation felt. As the only table of color in the space at the time, the interaction left us questioning whether this was simply poor training, a bad night, or something more concerning. I can't say for certain--but I can say it did not feel welcoming or respectful. We chose to finish quickly, pay our bill, and leave with our food. This experience does not reflect the kind of hospitality we expect from our neighborhood. I truly hope this was an isolated incident and that management takes steps to address staff communication and customer service.

The food is fantastic, the drinks are just as good, and it's one of those places that immediately makes you wish it was in your neighborhood.

Like I said, pretty low-key, so sometimes there's just two people at the bar, one doing the drinks and one taking orders and the line can build up. But it does seem like the kitchen is pretty quick and the people bringing out the food is super nice and helpful. For the food, I really liked the "tomato cured shrooms," which are button mushrooms marinated in a tomato sauce. If you like ketchup and mushrooms like I do, then this is a fun snack. Something about the tomato flavor gives the mushrooms a pop. The roasted radish and farro was good, but the radish was cut a bit big. I didn't want a big entree, so I got the sausage, which was decent with white bean romesco and grilled scallions. The graham panna cotta was a nice way to cool down on a warm night. I went early and sat outside, and it was getting busier when I left so the recommendation is to go early. It's nice having places like Bellwether in the neighborhood.

Consider this your reminder: the next best thing might be in your own backyard! "DZO" means "Cheers" in Vietnamese, and that friendly welcoming vibe is exactly what you'll find here. About 70% of the space is devoted to billiards and pub tables, with a cozy dining room tucked off to the side. Our waiter, Tho, was an absolute delight! He was friendly, attentive, quick-witted, and offered us excellent recommendations. The food was delivered promptly, and every bite was utterly enjoyable. I ordered the lemongrass pork bún, and it was one of the very best I've ever had. Tender, juicy pork over perfectly cooked vermicelli, layered with fresh veggies, cilantro, mint and peanuts... everything in perfect balance! Too often, some restaurants will skip one or two of these key elements, but not here! My partner ordered the salt and pepper squid, crab rangoons, and a Vietnamese coffee he wouldn't share. Judging by his grin, everything must have been just as good as my meal. The menu isn't huge, but I have no doubt every dish is delicious. I'm already planning my return visit, and this time it won't take two years to make it in!
