There was no one in the restaurant at the time either. Very understaffed and I don't understand why we need to make a reservation when there's no one to greet you ‍ probably won't give it another chance

This review is titled "Basket of Disappointment"…read more We were in town for the Beaver State Fling and I was excited to see a burger joint with such great reviews, so we stopped in for dinner. While the staff were friendly and quick to take our order, that's about where the good stopped. Considering my bill was 22$ for an iced tea, the Bacon-at-or, and waffle fries, it was not worth it at all. The burger was "OK" but nothing to write home about. It was your food service bun, frozen patty, cheese and lettuce. I added fry sauce to give it some flavor. The bacon was the best part of this burger. The waffle fries were fine, clearly frozen food-service grade, fried to order. On a positive note, the ice tea was brewed and done well! Overall the place looks tired and cluttered with "memorabilia" akin to the name diner. And lastly, if you are preparing food, please wear gloves!

First time in. Vintage diner decor. Somewhat run down Tried…read morethe 1/3 lb. bacon cheeseburger on GF bun add fries and drink Burger was OK.

My fiance planned a wonderful mountain getaway for us, and lucky for me- we had dinner reservations here. It was so chilly in December, We had a cold mountain day, and we bundled up to go to our dinner reservations and I have to say- I wasn't expecting much when I heard the name "Grill". I was thinking- burgers, fries, your typical post-ski grub. I was wrooong! We strolled into the coziest little restaurant and were greeted by the two lovely people working there. Felt like I very sweet family vibe. They steered us in the directions of the pasta dishes we ordered, and we had the Soup of the Day to start- I believe it was some kind of Tomato bisque and that hit the spot. The Hazelnut pasta was a hit for my fiance, and I loved that he got to try such a classic Oregon flavor in a pasta- how fun. My chanterelle ravioli filled me up so fast, I also loved being able to try chanterelles in this format. Both dishes felt very creative and full of so much Oregon pride! Delicious!

Prices are pretty high but we've found that the quality is consistently good, though this year felt a bit less. I enjoyed a patty melt with sweet potato fries. Kids grilled cheeses also were enjoyed. Hamburger was good, though I liked the patty melt more. The alfredo and cod were just average. For desert, I got the chocolate torte, which was a big letdown (especially since it cost $15!). I may decide to try a new place next year.

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.

Love the decor and ambiance
