Friday we decided to try someplace new for dinner, so we went to PK’s Pub, 221 King St., Herkimer, NY. We’d had it recommended to us by several people, including our hairdresser, and they did not steer us wrong.
We had to go around the block twice before we found a parking space, so we were a little afraid we wouldn’t get a table, although pretty impressed with their booming business. Luckily, PK’s managed to find us a table in the back corner, by the fireplace. The fireplace was not needed Friday, but I thought about how cozy that will be in December.
I ordered ravioli, and Steven got a grilled chicken platter. Dinner came with a salad and fresh bread. Yummy! I especially liked the creamy butter. The Shiraz, which is their house red, was quite tasty too. Steven had coffee. He is my designated driver.
Our table was right next to a large group celebrating a birthday. They were having a fine time. The whole restaurant clapped after they sang Happy Birthday. When they gathered right in front of us to take a picture, I told the birthday girl my husband was going to jump up and wave at the camera. They were OK with that, but Steven refrained.
When we added our birthday wishes, they told us that they represented three classes, 1963, ’64 and ’65. Some of them had come as far as Germany and Arizona. They had not all gotten together for years. It was clear they were enjoying their evening in the Mohawk Valley, as were we.
PK’s also does banquets and catering. For more information or reservations call 315-866-3494. They are also on Facebook.
