    Fabulous location, beautiful decor, exceptional menu and a service team that was all about getting to “yes!” My husband had a stroke 11 years ago and restaurant music that’s too loud is uncomfortable for him…we asked if the music could be lowered and they accommodated. We will be back for brunch!

    “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!
