I took my husband to Ostra for his birthday, and it was fantastic! The food was delicious, the staff very attentive, and the atmosphere relaxed. We parked in the garage across the street which was very convenient. The crispy native oysters were the best we’ve ever had. I really enjoyed the grilled sea bream, and my husband loved the paella “Valenciana style”. Our knowledge waiter recommended wine that paired perfectly with our meals.

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.
