Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Roxbury

Loved Tresca. We went on a recommendation from a friend. Service was outstanding from the hostess, waitress, busboy, and the manager checking in if our meal was OK. The food was very good. Nice wine list and cocktails. We were there early (4:30pm) but we had made a reservation just in case. Restaurant was quiet when we arrived but started to fill up as we left at 630pm. We were seated in the small dining room on the first floor. Enjoyed that the neighboring table wasn't too close. We ordered 2 appetizers and 3 entrees and shared the mini canoli dessert tray, plus cappuccino. Big plus is the $3 parking validated parking at Haymarket Garage. Differently will be back.

Food was excellent, steak was cooked to perfection and the apple cider whiskey sour which they have is amazing

Overall we had a great meal at Pammy’s. The food and service were great, and the ambiance and decor were lovely. The value of the menu is lacking imo. $84 with no drinks including for 3 relatively small plates. The “choose your own adventure” seems to be a bit of a gimmick as most people will order a starter, pasta, and main. Not only that, but they tack on a mandatory 6% extra charge for their kitchen staff. Here’s an idea- they should use the substantial amount of money we pay them for the food and drinks, and use that to pay their staff a fair wage. I have to say it left a terrible taste to feel nickel and dimed in this way. At $550 for a dinner for 4, with only about one drink per person, as much as I enjoyed the meal, I can’t say this was a good value or something I’d do again. I would strongly advise that they include any mandatory fees in the cost they advertise, instead of hiding a surprise fee in fine print on the menu.

We ended up sitting at the bar (100% our choice) and had wonderful service from Lilly! She’s an absolute gem and made our thanksgiving enjoyable!

The tuna ceviche is a must try. Oysters are served at perfectly cold temps with plenty of horseradish! The brussel sprouts are delicious. The scallops are amazing and a good sized portion. Green goddess salad is great and you can add protein too! Cocktail list is varied and seasonal. Wine list is varied and affordable. Great spot
