The tuna ceviche is a must try. Oysters are served at perfectly cold temps with plenty of horseradish! The brussel sprouts are delicious. The scallops are amazing and a good sized portion. Green goddess salad is great and you can add protein too! Cocktail list is varied and seasonal. Wine list is varied and affordable. Great spot

Great experience and afternoon out! It does seem like the size of the sandwiches and pastries keeps getting smaller and smaller, though.

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.

Our group of 4 started with the seasonal board which was delicious but did not come with enough toast. We were able to order more for an up charge. The burgers and sandwiches were huge and impossible to finish but were so good. Our waitress was attentive throughout. I would eat here again if I was in the area.

Thank you chef Erin miller - it was the best way to spend my birthday.. miss the chocolate chili gelato. I don’t even like chocolate and I love this. 🙏🏻 KB
