Cozy, casual dining on the river is the theme at Pamela’s, where Executive Chef/Owner Pamela Resch’s modern American menu shakes up classic dishes. Braised short ribs over griddled polenta and the smoked trout mousse steal the show, while the bar-with-a-view whips up a bevy of cocktail creations for even the most discerning of palates. Stop by Wednesday through Saturday for live music.
