"We ordered a large brownie sundae and it was plenty for three people. Since we weren't aware of the portion sizes, we also ordered a large Squealer with Butterfingers. However, we were just two people! Everything was delicious, and we appreciated the venue (which has a parking lot) and the friendly staff."

"This is a fantastic deli in Beverly. I usually order the chicken salad sub, and I absolutely love it. It's packed with flavor, and I appreciate that it has a good amount of pickles, which I enjoy. Recently, I took home the egg salad, and it was excellent as well. The staff mentioned they made it fresh that morning, and it's clear they have a high demand for it. This deli offers a wide variety of options I haven't yet explored, but the quality of the food and the service are both outstanding. I highly recommend giving it a try!"

"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."

"It's a cute place that makes best of the size it has on the street of a busy intersection. Cute menu with a decent selection of generic American Asian cuisine that would satisfy a wide range of people. The dishes we got were delicious though the portion varied in value.The general chicken was on the menu as a big plate dish. Seeing the dish，it's a big plate but the portion was not at all much, that gave me a chuckle on their wording, it's well played. The chicken was moist,it was fried just right and the flavor was on point however so I'll enjoy it for what it was.The mapo tofu was cooked splendidly although a bit bland, could have used more ma la spice to really kick it up. I hyped it up to my friend who was expecting something much hotter, will need to remember next time.The rice however was in no way worth the price they charged. Especially considering the rest of the dish prices it was a bit costly for what they gave. We needed a second but held off as it wasn't worth it.Service was acceptable, but far from great. The server didn't interact with us except at the beginning, getting our order and then collecting payment. Not once did they stop by to ask how things were or much else besides refilling our water glasses.All in all. It was okay, and okay was palatable, but it's not something I'll go out of my way to visit again, there are others that do the same and more for less."

"First time at the Berry Tavern based on a recommendation. My wife and I first sat at the bar while we were waiting for our son and daughter in law. Had a great cold craft beer poured right to the rim; none of this 3 inches of foam stuff! Extremely friendly and outgoing bartenders. We had made reservations for 7pm . Simply put, Great service, food and atmosphere. Had their lasagna special, chicken parm, veal parm and chicken with ziti (gluten free). We also each had a ceasar salad..mine with anchovies. I am always disappointed when a restaurant that serves ceasar salad doesn’t have anchovies. The Berry didn’t let me down. Special thanks to the hostess Kara and our server Nicole for making the night so special. We all can’t wait to come back!!"
