    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.

    Always a great experience dining here. I’ve always dined in the dining room so more of a dining experience that is quieter I imagine then the bar side. I always love a more robust vibe so will have to try sitting over there on my next visit. Service was attentive without hovering and water filled as needed which is always a plus for me. We each had steaks that were cooked to perfection. Rather then having a few glasses of wine I ordered the half bottle of Alexander Valley Merlot which was priced conservatively. My friend had an espresso martini that he said was delicious. We ordered two sides as well. I loved the green beans that were sautéed Al dente which is how I prefer them and was satisfied. Also had a side of garlic mashed that were eaten by my friend and just got a meh. I ended up w half my filet and most of the sides in to go containers. This is a great date spot, celebration spot or just a go to for the best steak around. Highly recommended. And prices are consistent for the quality.

    We were really pleased with the food. We kept our order simple by taking them up on their pre-packaged "works" offering - $50/pp (2 min) which included several starters and assorted grilled kebabs over rice plus dessert. Their take on baba ganoush was excellent - I make the stuff myself, and I'm pretty pleased with mine...Theirs was better. In fact better than I've had from anywhere else. The humus was also excellent as were the grape leaves. The kibbe was exceptional both as to ratio of meat to grain and also texture and flavor. Fattoush salad, labne - everything on the table was exemplary. Honestly, I'm a tough grader and this stuff was far better than expected and worth a trip there all by itself. Then the grilled meats - the lamb, the chicken, the kofta (really interesting) all excellent as well. Some nice grilled veg as well. The rice was the only let-down, and frankly at this point with their overachievement everywhere else - who cares? Dessert included was baklava - a good example, but not a highlight for me. Bottom line for me is these folks know how to cook, seem to have some real tradition driving their recipes (as they are distinctive), and offered way more quality and quantity (did I mention quantity) than expected. My cocktail was also good, btw. I am mostly disappointed by suburban restaurants, but not so this time. This discerning diner will definitely return.
