"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."

"Really happy I listened to my hubby to come and try this place. We made it a point to try all the local seafood joints/shacks in the Point Lookout/Oceanside/Long Beach area. I was a little hesitant at first cause we weren 't sure how the seating would work and it was getting a little chilly. We first went to Point Lookout Clam Bar which is what we wanted to try initially but all the seats were outdoor. The set-up and view was beautiful as you can see in my picture but we preferred to sit indoors. Total non-issue as the host informed us that Fisherman 's Catch is owned by the same person and the menu is exactly the same. (Yay! So I 'm assuming due to Covid there was minimal table service which was fine. The procedure once you enter is to seat yourself, look over the menu and then go to the bar to order. Seating was perfect as we were there before 5pm and had the whole indoor restaurant to ourselves and we picked the loveliest seat by the window with a spectacular view. The bartender was very helpful was all our inquiries of the menu and ordering was easy. She even let us try some of the draft beer before we ordered as we never had them before. (thank you The food came really quickly. Everything was delicious! My family is self proclaimed seafood fanatics and we loved everything we ordered. The lobster bisque is excellent (no picture as my younger one finished it too quickly. Her only one complaint was that she wanted oyster crackers to accompany the soup. The steamers had a nice sweet aftertaste and my husband kept raving about how fresh they are. Yum! My older one complained when I ordered the grilled calamari claiming that she doesn 't like grilled calamari but once she tried it, she kept raving about how that 's that 's the best grilled calamari she 's ever had! From a previous review, someone mentioned the lobster roll being filled with imitation lobster. This is NOT the case and I checked with the bartender before I ordered as well. The ingredients are all fresh lobster and it tasted delicious. My husband ordered the fried scallops and he enjoyed them very much. The main dishes both came with fries that my family loved as they were thin and crispy. My kids shared the lobster sauce pasta and there were huge pieces of lobster inside the creamy sauce. Also due to Covid I 'm assuming, everything came out on disposable plates. Everything was excellent. So far on our journey to try all the local seafood joints, this venue is definitely at the top of our list so far. It definitely beats out the seafood shack in Oceanside that has the most ratings on Yelp. That one is not bad but this place exceeded our expectation. My kids wants to put their two cents in and said mommy, make sure to give them 5 stars on Yelp . Guess it 's family approved and will be one of our fave local joints from now on. There really weren 't too many customers. Only two other tables showed up when we left but it was really early. No one outside at all. Please support your local eateries especially the delicious ones so they can survive during these difficult times. Thank you for the great service and for being so welcoming when we arrived."
