I celebrated my 25th birthday here. I wanted to celebrate in a nice restaurant with an ambiance, and I saw The Pembroke. I made reservations, and by the time my friends and I arrived our table was ready. I forgot the waiter's name, but he was so nice and provided excellent service. The ambiance was perfect. This was the best first birthday dinner ever. Thank you to the cooks, waiters, and the owner. <3
