   The best meal in terms of food and service that we have had in seven months living in Boston. The din was nearly unbearable, I wouldn’t return on a Saturday night, but more than that and the reason for four stars rather than five is that we were seated half an hour late for our 7:30 pm reservation. No offer to buy us a drink at the bar, no comped dessert, not any real apology from the waiter (not that it was his particular fault). The hostess’ tepid explanation that “our table was not ready yet” was not sufficient. If they are going to have two seatings they need to make clearer to first seating that there is another one coming. Dinner was nearly $1000, and that part of it kind of rankled.

   I remember coming to Pammy’s when the restaurant first opened. It was good then and even better now so many years later. Our dinner last night tucked in the corner by the fireplace was nothing short of perfection. The food, the ambiance, the libations and our serve Dana. Just stellar - thank you.

   Outstanding all around from the service to food. Three courses make for the perfect amount of food and I loved the wine pairing. We live some distance away but Sammy's is worth the drive.

   Blake, our server for dinner, was amazing. We decided to have an after dinner drink at the bar before moving on to our evening plans…that proved to be a mistake. The bartenders were exceptionally rude; it was an unfortunate end to our otherwise outstanding meal.

   Generally we LOVE Pammy’s and have been diners here since they opened! However, this time it was a disappointment. Sigh. Server was nice and he answered all of our questions and gave us recommendations. The food was mostly good… However, we were both ordered the recommended lamb dish and it was covered in a white sauce so that the actual meat was not visible; upon cutting it, it was about 80% fat. I was completely shocked. My spouse had the same lamb dish with very little fat! I do wish the server came by to ask how this course was. But instead, I left a plateful of uneaten lamb fat. Was it a simple kitchen mistake? I assume so..but probably needs to be emotions to the kitchen. It was my birthday and it was funny because the (very close) table next to us was receiving complimentary “on the house” full desserts and such…much to their own surprise and glee. They actually said “happy birthday” to me and offered to share! Weird that our server was bought it was okay to do in such close proximity and yet, offer us nothing. For the record, they ordered one glass of wine each while we ordered 3 cocktails as well as wine; and we are repeat loyal Pammy diners! Last comment, adding a 6% kitchen fee (even on alcohol) should be more clearly disclosed. I understand it’s hard to keep kitchen help and they deserve a living wage, but please consider paying your kitchen help more and raising your prices so it’s more transparent to your customer. We generally leave 20% or more for tip, but felt this was a bit shady. Sorry. We hope these comments help as we always loved Pammy’s!!

    One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while. Everything was exceptional. Can’t wait to come back!
