"Framed paintings fill the walls at The Observatory, a warm and inviting restaurant in Montavilla, and the late-night menu matches the vibe with pleasing comfort food. Happy hour runs from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday and Monday, and until midnight Tuesday to Thursday, with a menu including a variety of $6 sliders, ginger mussels for $6, $3 salads, $2 cups of soup, and a heaping pile of garlic parmesan fries for $4. Drink specials are straightforward, with canned beers $2 to $3, $4 well drinks, and $5 wine pours." - Alex Frane
