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.

I love omakase. It is not a value proposition, but a very fun, special night. Umami Omakase was fun but the four of us agreed the food was "just ok". Many of the dishes had high quality fish but the combinations just didn't taste good.
