    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.

    My girlfriend and I both work in hospitality and came for an early Valentine's dinner since we have to work for it. Our waiter, Jimmy, was amazing, we ordered all of our food at once and asked Jimmy to pace it out using his judgement. We also asked for recommendations on a fruity/dry Wine pairing, which he did wonderfully and paired with multiple items we ordered. Everything was delicious and the oyster mushrooms were spectacular. To end our meal they brought us over a delicious digestivo and even got us a reservation downstairs at Hecate following our dinner. Amazing experiences thank you!

    The menu, the wine pairing selections and the service were ALL FANTASTIC! Everything was as good or better than before which is a huge compliment. Mooncusser deserves immense accolades for Dooley's creativity, masterful flavors, clean-tasting and distinct dishes, aesthetic plating, and incredible dining experiences including the restaurant's beautiful and FUN wine pairings.
