Come ready to eat. The food is a feast for your eyes as well as your tastebuds. Meals can begin light and flavorful (like the red crab - I had mine without the caviar extra), but many choices are also rich and inspiring- like the lasagne bianca which was a 12-layer vegetarian delight truly enhanced by the crunch of the side lettuce (with salt and parm- yum). Course 3 was the branzino also very rich and delightful. Finished with the champagne mango Sobretto. Loved it all. Pammy's has become a tradition when my foodie father (now 87) comes to town.

Excellent food and service! Outstanding Salmon and Shrimp. Disappointed in lack of GF bread and no French Onion Soup for dinner. Found this restaurant as recommended for a quiet dining experience and it was SO LOUD that we had to use airpods and use our cell phones to hear each other. That impacted our experience. Probably will not go back even though the quality of the food was wonderful.
