The Observatory - Feedback

Was Gudrun Mills at The Observatory a mag?
Very good food and creative cocktails in an interesting space. A particular standout for us was extraordinarily good gluten-free pizza. Really good crust that was actually bread-like, crisped on the edges, and not soggy or flat in the middle. Bravo! View all feedback.

This place was amazing! I love the energy and the atmosphere. our server was very nice!
Super sweet spot! beautiful evening here. they enjoy the most cocktail and the kokoskuchen!
The restaurant offers a stunning view and elevated atmosphere, perfect for special occasions and date nights. However, some guests experienced slow service, especially during private events, and cold, bland food during restaurant week. Despite these issues, many highlighted the exceptional service, delicious dishes, and unique whiskey cocktails made by skilled bartenders. The speakeasy concept was praised for its fun ambiance, secretive vibe, and impressive drink selection. The menu, which includes salads, flatbreads, and creative desserts like Brie brûlée, was well-received by diners. Overall, Thea is recommended for its fresh, local ingredients, fantastic service, and memorable dining experience.
