    First visit to Pammy's to celebrate a b-day. Service was wonderful, thoughtful tips, frequent check ins, great energy. There were a few menu items that we needed to clarify before ordering as we were unfamiliar with items...but all part of the fun. The food was outstanding, I tried the lobster with squid ink gnocchi ...exceptional! The restaurant is kind of cozy...small floor plan with a communal center table. It all works, but if you have a larger group..book ahead to get one of the separate side tables.

    Everything was fantastic. Came during Valentine's week and it was packed! Glad we made a reservation a few weeks prior. Even with the crowd, the service and food was top notch. We had been once before and thought it was a solid choice for date night. This time, they knocked it out of the park. We will be back to try our the chef's counter experience!!
