    What a wonderful Valentine's Day celebration from the Oak Bistro team!! We had a lovely evening, with fabulous food (a big shout-out for the roast chicken and the duck leg), fabulous service (Noel, you rock!), and a fun vibe (we loved the polaroid photo option!). Many thanks! We'll be back soon.

    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.

    We did the oyster shucking class and it did not disappoint! Do not eat before because that appetizers were plentiful and incredible! There was half of a lobster roll for every person with a bunch of other incredible bites to eat including a caviar cone. There was a nice charcuterie board as well as a fish pate. One drink of choice included with the ticket and I had an incredible cocktail. The staff overall was great, the class was simple, down to the point, with plenty of personal attention. Chef made us feel right at home and interacted with everyone. Right after the class you could stay for food and more incredible cocktails. I would recommend this as a great date night. Can't wait to come back and enjoy the full meal. Oysters were fresh with a good variety of choices.
