    I just want everyone working at Banners tonight to know how thankful I am. This was a first date. I love Banners, and he had never been. Everything was perfect. Our server was fantastic. Attentive while giving proper space and time. He was on point. The kitchen! Please never stop. The food was delicious (as always)! I while always recommend Banners food. Your burger is unreal. And the atmosphere was amazing as always. The tables next to us were even friendly, and that has nothing to do with Banners. My date forgot his hat, and the staff was so helpful finding it. Thank you all so much for a perfect first date! It means so much. I'll mention you if we get married haha. Much love.

    Went here for Valentine’s Day and had the 5 course tasting menu, no wine pairing. Sea Bass and Steak were both excellent. The meringue desert ice cream / sorbet with sponge cake was also fantastic. Overall, left satisfied with the food and service, but the restaurant is very overpriced.

    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.
