The atmosphere is lovely, and the service is always excellent. We had the swordfish special, which was delicious, and the scallops, also very good. This is definitely a restaurant that I like to bring guests to.

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.
