    We loved all the food and the mocktail but the decor and speed are what really made it nice for us. Starting with Calamari helped set expectations high without disappointment. This was an excellent choice of venue for Valentine’s Day

    A great experience for Valentine’s Day. We did not eat the special menu. We started with short rib poutine. A very reasonable portion with great flavor. The wife did the seared duck breast from the standard menu which she enjoyed. I did the prime rib which was a perfect medium for me. Came with glazed carrots and mashed potatoes. Incredible taste and very tender. We skipped dessert but Jose that came out looked good.

    Buckley's is well known in our region as one of the better places to dine, especially if one seeks a good steak. We were not disappointed. I got the sugar cured strip loin and my dining partner ordered the filet mignon. Both cooked precisely as we preferred (medium well). The preliminaries (bread with olive oil, a salad for my dining partner) were tasty without being too filling. The core meal was delicious. The server (Laura) was attentive and friendly. She muffed my beer order but I am not very picky -- she ended up crediting us anyway. Two of the five dessert offerings were sold out; we settled for the blueberry crisp, and it was excellent.

    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.
