    “Pama Tavern is a gem! The vibe is inviting, good music and the food and drinks were fantastic. We had a large group of 16, and everything came out quickly and perfectly cooked. The chef even stopped by our table to make sure everything was just right, a nice personal touch that shows how much they care about their guests. It was the perfect spot to relax, enjoy good company, and make great memories with family and friends. Highly recommend for any gathering!

    The food was delicious and the ambiance was amazing! From the music to the lighting, but what was most notable was the service. The staff was more than accommodating. Frank went out of his way to ensure we had an excellent experience. Highly recommend!

    We enjoyed a quiet Sunday evening dinner; Staff was great, food good, location for us was convenient. We did get a peek at the second-floor speakeasy and plan on coming back as it looks to be a great experience.

    Great service, location, decor. Food was below average for the price point. I don’t mind going big from time to time on a night out. I do however expect the food and the presentation to be above average. The place was basically empty on a Friday night, with a total of 10 patrons. May be sign that others agree with me.

    The food was amazing and the service was even better! We ordered the steak which was seasoned and cooked perfectly. We also ordered the scallops in a blueberry sauce and they were the best scallops I’ve ever had! If you’re in the downtown Fort Lauderdale area, I highly recommend checking this place out. We can’t wait to go back for dinner and to check out the speakeasy that’s located upstairs.

    We all enjoyed the vibe, energy and food. Music was different in every space as we enjoyed our evening. This place really is must do! Will be back with more friends. My favorite touch of the evening was the presentation of my espresso martini. Loved it!

    We enjoyed some apps downstairs before heading up to the speakeasy. Lovely setting in both locations. Great food at el Pama and excellent drinks at the Red room. Will definitely return.
