    We had a lovely dinner here and I loved how handicap accessible it was. I highly recommend the dirty peppar martini, the mussels, and the braised short rib. The Bolognese and dessert options were nothing special, but I will definitely come back for the mussels and short rib alone! Can't wait to try more.

    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.
