"Very enjoyable dinner at this fine dining restaurant. Service was good, not perfect due to the amount of tables our server had. At one point, we could tell he was in the weeds because he sent another server over to take our entree order. When telling us the specials, he never mentioned the Tomahawk Steak as an option, but we heard another server mention it to the people at his table. He also didn't ask if we wanted any kind of a sauce with our steaks and it wasn't until I was halfway through my filet when I realized that I failed to order the Bearnaise sauce which I usually like with my filet. Bummer...my bad, but I do wish he had tried to upsell us on a sauce with our steak. Overall, he did a good job but it's fine dining and very expensive so my expectations are high in a restaurant like Pellana. We started with salads, which were very generous and good although my Caesar had way too much white lettuce in it. My husband had the porterhouse and I had the filet. Both very good and cooked to order. We had a side of grilled asparagus and a side of onion strings and both were tasty. The bread basket is a must there. Popovers, an Italian style bread and thin slices of what tasted like cinnamon toast. Drinks were done perfectly. For dessert we shared the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. The only downside of the evening was seeing people being let in wearing hoodies, jeans and sneakers. They do state proper attire, but Pellana really doesn't enforce it which given the atmosphere and the cost to dine there they should. If people want to dine out wearing jeans, sneakers and hoodies they should eat elsewhere where that kind of attire fits into the atmosphere. But other than that, we enjoyed our meal at Pellana."
