    This was our first visit to Pellana, upon entering the restaurant we were surprised how dark it was, although beautiful. We were given a lovely table as we were celebrating our anniversary. The drinks were good, salads superb and steaks delicious, service was also good. There was no special treatment given when celebrating a special occasion except for a candle on the dessert that you order and pay for. Why bother asking if you are celebrating an occasion if they don’t do anything to make your evening special. This was far different than any other steak house we have been to and we have been to them all. They all make your occasion special and make sure they acknowledge your celebration with a complimentary dessert which is a minimal cost to make a customer feel special. Will I go back? Probably, but not when celebrating a special occasion. They might want to rethink their policy on celebrations.

    Great service and great food. Had the special short rib raviolis and my wife had spicy rigatoni in a vodka sauce. Came out piping hot and delicious! Our server was awesome too. Thanks for a nice night out.
