We had the prix fixe Thanksgiving dinner. The seafood spread was plentiful and fresh, they were putting fresh seafood out about every 5 minutes. All 3 courses were perfectly cooked apart from the octopus which my friend found to be a little on the salty side, she loved the pasta and sauce that came with it. I had the prime filet and it lived up to the definition “melt in your mouth tender”. The service was perfect, Daniel Penda who attended to us was friendly, attentive, and always had a smile on. Everyone else was very friendly and we had several people check on us at appropriate times to see that we were having a lovely dinner. I definitely would recommend for a special occasion or fancy dinner. The ambiance at The Pembroke is perfect for that.

we have gone to this restaurant many times. we have never had anything but a magical yes magical experience. from the warmth of the greeting to the whole ambiance and other diners. everyone is having a great time, relaxed, unhurried. the food is next level as is the wine. it’s worth every penny we save up to go all in. there are very reasonable price points on the menu but this is the kind of place you should save up and splurge.
