From the Front Door to the servers to the band, the entire experience was outstanding. Food and drinks were quick and delicious. Servers were helpful but not obtrusive. Areas of improvement -- tables were a smidge small where we were seating. And parking in the area is quite difficult. Take an Uber, parking is rather tough. Otherwise an outstanding evening.

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.
