    Always a fantastic experience. The food, the vibe and the service are all top in Boston. In addition, we had to add someone to our party and requested a time change. This is a really hard reservation to get so was not expecting the changes could work. The staff could not have been nicer and went out of their way to accommodate. I so appreciate that. Love this place!!

    My wife and I reserved the recommended two weeks ahead of time. I was not able to find the exact time we wanted (6 PM) but we were able to accommodate the 8:15. We showed up a little early. Everyone was great. Food was awesome. My wife had the pasta and scallops. I had the rare dish, wild hare. We shared the affogato. All of it excellent!

    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.
