Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Lawrence

So easy to reserve a table via OpenTable. Table was ready once we arrived and waitstaff was attentive and helpful with menu tips. Cocktails were great. The Tuna Tartare was sliced a little too thick, but the fish was fresh and tasty with the pesto-mint. We shared the Misto salad which was delightful. My wife loved her short rib ravioli, with a rich, beefy, umami flavor. My scallops with the saffron risotto were well-prepared and quite tasty as well. We skipped on dessert but had the cappuccinos which came with a small biscotti - a perfect ending.

The food was FANTASTIC! Great service, great options, and they even gave a flower for Valentine’s day.

We had a reservation on Valentine’s Day , we were a party of 5 , that’s including my 7 year old. Love that they now have a kids menu, we loved all the food from the apps , main course, and then the dessert sampler was the best finishing touch . We also had lunch for the next day. We live Joseph’s. Fernando was also gave us amazing service , very attentive

Grill 23 on Valentine's Day was as spectacular as usual. We started out with the Seafood Tower, had a French Onion Soup, followed it with a Wedge Salad, and then the Rib Eye. Food was awesome as ever and the bread basket was filled with great goodies such as corn bread, raisin pumpernickel, and more. The extensive wine list provided a lot of choices and we started with a Paul Hobbs and ended with a Screaming Eagle.

First visit to Pammy's to celebrate a b-day. Service was wonderful, thoughtful tips, frequent check ins, great energy. There were a few menu items that we needed to clarify before ordering as we were unfamiliar with items...but all part of the fun. The food was outstanding, I tried the lobster with squid ink gnocchi ...exceptional! The restaurant is kind of cozy...small floor plan with a communal center table. It all works, but if you have a larger group..book ahead to get one of the separate side tables.
