    Food was delicious. I ordered the salmon poke bowl which I had last time I dined here. I loved it so much i ordered it again and was not. disappointed. I only wish there was a bigger selection of draft beers. My fellow diners loved their entrees also- the branzino and chicken parm. Will definitely return for lunch/and or dinner- since the menu is the same.

    Food and service was top notch! If I can add 1 ‘thought’: if you’d remove just 1 block of tables along the booth wall I think it would make a world of difference. The server kept bumping against our table while she scooted in to serve our neighboring tables. Just a little more space would create a more intimate setting. My husband and I prefer ‘date night’ seating and I feel there’s only possibly 2/3 tables that would meet that desire. Finally- I DO want to thank the mgr for allowing us to stay at a 4 person table(as we were only 2). The alternative would really have had an impact on my review. PS. Just omit 1 table😁

    Another wonderful meal and evening at Pammy’s, this time for a birthday celebration with a party of 5. Price-Fixe menu was great. I loved the Cobia and Squid Ink gnocchi. I was too full to complete the lumache, but took it home and it was excellent the next day. The lamb saddle, yakitori chicken and lasagna also got excellent reviews. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful and attentive.
