Had never been, have driven by my entire life & never thought to check it out until I saw "Sir, what did you eat" Post on IG and so we decided to check it out for the Hubbys Birthday dinner (we were going to go to Capital Grille, but in Feb this year 2026, it was snowing that night so we came here instead, closer to home) OMG SO GLAD WE DID!!!! First off, the moment we walked in the door the whole vibe was spot on. It was actually snowing when we got there! Our server kicked ass and I wish I remembered his name because I only want to dine with him moving forward! He truly made the experience!!! All the food was good, Only missing Calamari from the menu - only downside... I cant think of one complaint, Maybe if I have to come up with one - Only one stall in the bathroom, LOL But the service, the food, the ambience was 100!!! The food was soo good, everything was fresh, the drinks were great! Will definitely add to the rotation of regular places, going to Daniellas next week next for my Birthday as we havent been there yet either! Cant wait! read more

Everything was great. Basically a Boston steak house set in Beverly. We went for Valentine's Day a few days after Valentine's Day. White tablecloth, great wait staff, warm rolls yum. One was like a small popover. So good. I got fillet and hubby got burger and we split the onion strings which was just huge. Steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Just very good. read more

It's always a 5 star dinner. We go for special occasions, birthdays anniversary's etc. never had anything bad!

Food was fine but the service was abysmal. Our server disappeared for long stretches of time. Not sure if he was overwhelmed as it was very busy. Finally after waiting for well over half hour to order desert we finally saw our server so I got his attention to get check and he wished us happy anniversary, it wasn't not sure where he got that notion. People at next table said they hadn't been even waited on 20 minutes after being seated. Nice atmosphere but service and attention to detail needs some serious work read more

We stumbled here on accident. We are out of towners, on vacation, looking for something that wasn't seafood. Pellana's did not disappoint. Our waiter, John, seriously was the best waiter we have had in a long time. His service coupled with the beyond fabulous food made the experience that much better. We had oysters, shrimp cocktail, split a tomahawk ribeye, truffle parm fries and a crème Brûlée.... We are stuffed, completely satisfied and ready to come back tomorrow. read more

Outstanding. This was a birthday dinner for my significant other. Amazing atmosphere with the dimly lit lights over the whole dining area and focused light at the table so you don't feel like you're in a cave. Privacy right in the middle of an open floor. Simple NY strip with blue cheese was delectable. Top 5 steaks I can say with confidence. The baked lobster special was enormous and deliciously filled with king crab stuffing. Service was immaculate. Never had an empty glass or searching for service, but certainly gave us privacy for our dinner. Drinks were strong and made right, even brought a glass for my sip o sunshine. Expensive, but knew that walking in the door. Plan to spend $250+ for an amazing meal worth every cent. read more

I've never had a bad experience here and last night was no exception. By far the best onion soup around, and the ahi tuna was incredible, but what really blew both my husband and I away on this visit was the 8oz wagyu that practically melted in your mouth like butter. Worth every penny. We were originally a party of four, but two could not make it at the last minute due to an emergency and the hostess was not only gracious but wanted to make sure everybody was ok. We were seated at a table in the bar, which we'd never sat in before, and it was nice. It is dark but softly lit, perfect for celebrating our 19th anniversary. The staff was, as always, outstanding. Can't wait to go back! read more

We had our 22nd anniversary dinner here. The steak was way over cooked. They said we will take this off the bill and will bring you another steak. The next steak was cooked great. They are $65 steaks. So when we received the bill with the over cooked and replaced steak we were disappointed. They didn't even comp a thing after waiting for a new steak. The food is ok. Not worth the price. The service was great. read more

Excellent service. Always clean. Food is always well prepared and delicious. Need to make reservations to be sure to get in (especially on weekends or at night). read more

Wow! Pellana is a really special place in the Danvers/Peabody area. We are big fans of Daniella's in Danvers and knew we had to try Pellana (owned by the same restaurant group) so when a special occasion came up we finally made a reservation. We had such an amazing time - this is a 5-star spot for sure! The food was incredible - nothing more to say. They have a very impressive wine list as well. I am a vegetarian, so I was planning to order a bunch of sides for dinner but our server went out of her way to tell me the kitchen would be happy to make me a special vegetarian pasta (so so unexpected and so kind!). The service was top notch, and the decor is so romantic. It really is a very special place. We are so excited to come back again soon! read more

From the moment you walk through the doors, this steakhouse doesn't just impress--it transforms you. The lighting alone sets the tone: warm, moody, and elegant, with table lamps you can dim to your perfect glow. Every detail feels intentional, from the stunning artwork on the walls to the plush seating and polished ambiance. It's the kind of place that makes you sit up straighter, speak softer, and feel like you've just stepped onto the set of The Sopranos or Scarface--in the best, most glamorous way. I came here for my boyfriend's sister's birthday, but honestly? It felt like my celebration. That's the effect this place has on you--it makes you feel important, seen, and a little bit spoiled in the most beautiful way. Now let's talk service: absolutely top-tier. The staff is gracious and attentive, sweet without being overbearing, and genuinely seems to enjoy creating a memorable experience for you. And the food? Just as exquisite as the surroundings. Every dish we saw pass by looked like a work of art, and the flavors didn't disappoint. The steak was perfection--tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. This wasn't just a dinner. It was an experience. One I'll absolutely be looking forward to having again. If you're looking for that rare place where luxury meets warmth and style meets flavor, this is it. read more

Simply the best. We come here about once a year for a special occasion and wish we could afford to go more frequently. Even for lunch, we ended up paying nearly $400 for 2 adults and 2 kids who have very expensive taste and order filet mignons for lunch. However, these are memories with our family that will last a lifetime and it's well worth the cost of admission. The staff is always wonderful, welcoming of the kids even in an environment where it's unusual to see them, and always accomodating. Croque madame was fantastic as a brunch option but you won't be sorry if you splurge on a steak. This will always be our go-to steakhouse. read more

BEWARE of food safety concerns and disappointing service. Partway through our meal, we found a huge, sharp shard of plastic in our food - something that could have easily caused serious harm. What made things worse was how poorly the situation was handled by the server Jim. He had zero sense of urgency or genuine concern. His response was dismissive and unprofessional. A manager never appeared to rectify the situation or properly apologize. Everything felt brushed under the rug. Definitely not the kind of experience you'd expect at this price point. read more

You Walk in to a dim lit ambiance with fireplace in the distance. Bar to the left, and bigger seating to the right. We went for an after dinner wedding party, so we knew it would be pricey since it says it high end. If you don't mind the spending, it will be a nice meal and good vibes. The salad was amazing. Yes you can go wrong on a salad haha but this one was great. Also ordered the short rib Cavatelli. It was really tender and good, though I wasn't big on the mushroomy flavor sauce. The prime porterhouse was a nice big size. Tender, cooked how we asked. Our waitress was really nice as well and checked on us often. read more

We went to Pellana last evening the 12th like we have many many many times in the past. Food was great. We ate at the and Nick the bartender and staff were quite attentive. What I was shocked at was the behavior of the host. Upon entering the restaurant was busy. There were three hosts working. A young man, a woman and an older bald headed gentleman with a thick accent. My said she would like a table for two and we did not have a reservation because it was a last minute idea. He was abrupt rude and abrasive towards my wife. Telling us to stand over by the coat rack. He did not even have the courtesy to let us know what the status or wait time may be. He departed and did not come back. So we waited quietly and patiently. We noticed the entire bar was open. Finally after 10 or 15 theMUCH kinder woman asked if we were being helped and offered the bar to us as an option. Which was great. The bald man just kept yelling my wife "I am very busy. I am very busy". THIS IS NOT YHE EXPECTATION AND WILL RETHINK ABOUT RETURNING EVER AGAIN. TOO MANY OTHER OPTIONS OUT PELLANA. read more

We were so excited nearly 20 years ago when Pellana opened--finally an outstanding steakhouse close to home without having to drive into Boston. Whether for brunch, lunch, or dinner, the menu never gets tired, and one of the things we love most is how they rotate their specials--and they are truly SPECIAL! Late Saturday afternoon, my son and I stopped in and took a chance on the bar waitlist. We called ahead and were thrilled to find only one couple in front of us. Eden was wonderful from the first call through my several check-ins, and we were seated within 20 minutes. Everything we ordered was excellent, but the highlight was the one of the specials, a 2-pound baked stuffed lobster with crab meat--hands down the best stuffed lobster I've ever had out. The stuffing was plentiful yet light, perfectly balanced, and not overly rich. We also shared a wedge salad, lobster bisque, bone-in ribeye, potatoes au gratin, and spinach with mushrooms--every dish was spot on. What truly sets Pellana apart is the service. Eden remembered me when I called back later, even during a busy service, and Nick stopped by to welcome my son back from a recent visit. These personal touches, combined with incredible food and a warm, polished atmosphere, are why Pellana continues to be a favorite. Best-in-class all around. Thank you to all! read more

Pellana Prime Steakhouse in my opinion is the absolute best restaurant! The steak is perfect every time. Every bite of steak is tender & delicious. The bread basket is fresh with many choices. Omg the onion strings are so good I love love the wedge salad. The servers do not rush you. It is pretty inside with comfortable chairs!! read more

The service and atmosphere was what you'd expect from a high end restaurant. Unfortunately I could have purchased a better sirloin at Stop & Shop. About 1/3 of it was gristle and fat. I spent the majority of my time cutting it out. The sides and appetizers were good and the chef did a good job cooking it to order. When I explained my dissatisfaction with the steak to the waitress she said I should have sent it back. So my option was to sit there and watch the rest of my party eat while they cooked another steak or keep cutting. I was never offered anything to compensate for my poor meal. When paying just south of a thousand for six people, I would expect better. read more

Food and service was amazing. Went with a large group everything. Came out in a timely manner.

my fiancé and I went to Pellana last night for an early Valentines Day Dinner. The service and food tasted great. however I ordered a Pork Chop and they asked how I wanted it cooked. I said whatever way it normally is and the waiter said medium. when I got my Pork Chop some parts were pink but I thought that's what medium was. Until I woke up at 5am with food poisioning. I have never been so sick in my life. We had enjoyed it there but sadly will never go back. read more

While we get this is supposed to be an upscale steakhouse similar to the other restaurants under the same ownership it is overpriced for mediocre quality. Why do people think by adding lobster to anything it becomes special. Lobster mashed potatoes. Gross. I had clam chowder which had no clams, too much bacon and strange spices. It tasted like potato bacon soup. I had a wedge salad which was covered in bacon and tasteless blue cheese. My wife likes filet mignon Oscar but for $90 for a 10 ounce filet serious overpriced. Overpriced food , excessive ingredients trying to make it upscale. Hardly worth the effort. read more

Delicious steaks, wonderful wine, amiable staff. A little dark and a little hard to hear.

At 71 bucks, I wasn't going to leave any of the steak but think this place needs some kitchen education. Great decor, amazingly attentive server (at the bar) and a relatively short wait for a busy Saturday night. Up until the steak was in front of me, I was totally impressed. Here are my comments on the food: Steak - I ordered a 22 oz prime rib eye. I love this cut because rending the embedded fat yields a flavor and buttery texture not found in other cuts. To become prime, the meat needs to have near perfect marbling. If one wishes to properly cook, it should be given time to render some of the fat. I ordered it medium rare (any more should be a crime but that's another story). The bone was completely burnt showing that my 71 (did I mention it was expensive) dollar cut of meat was abused by extended direct flame. Flame broiled is great for BK but not for high end steak houses. Very disappointing and surprised someone would put that on a plate (see the picture). Fries - Truffle Parmesan Fries were the Sysco stuff with some infused oil and finely shredded parm tossed on. If you plan on charging these types of prices, a hand cut version can be done in little time (even in and out does it). I may be wrong here but it seemed great opportunity to improve. read more

This place is highly overrated. Recently, I ordered the French onion soup and, suffice to say. It was well below average. It did NOT taste lhomemade . It tasted like canned soup overloaded with soft, mushy bread and too much cheese that wasn't very good. They have a nice atmosphere, nice waitstaff but, having been here before, the food just isn't good and poorly prepared. read more

Best steakhouse on the north shore, absolutely no question. Even better than almost anything in Boston. It's not inexpensive (plan on $150/person if you like apps but are a light drinker) but outstanding quality. I have been several times and have never had an issue with the food. I guess my only criticism is that it's not the most exciting menu, but it's an old school, classic steak house experience and you won't be disappointed. They DO have specials that you won't find on the menu. Like filet carpaccio or octopus apps, tomahawk ribeye for 2 entree, etc. Just FYI since the price won't be listed, you could drop $40/ea on apps specials (carpaccio is worth every penny). Also the surf and turf special is just a full price steak and full price seafood entree... not an error in the bill... but also worth it! Excellent service Excellent wine Almost every table in there had a candle brought with their dessert so they were celebrating something. Absolutely packed on Friday and Saturday so make reservations in advance. Much quieter during the week if you like a peaceful meal. Definitely will keep going. read more

I came here for a friend's birthday dinner on Wed, Dec 23. I made a reservation online and added that there was a birthday at the table. When I arrived (on time for my 6:45 pm reservation), I found out that my friend had arrived 15 minutes early. Luckily, they didn't hold that against our 90 minute dining time. From the outset, service was polite and attentive without hovering. We had a couple of drinks during the meal. I started with the Pineapple Infusion (basically a Stoli Doli). It was a bit too pineappley for my taste as they added pineapple juice. I'm used to the version where the pineapple is infused in the vodka and poured straight (as I make it at home). The added pineapple juice made it a bit less boozy and more sweet. It was still good. My 2nd dinner drink was a French 75. My final drink was for "dessert" and I got an irish coffee that came out perfectly. For appetizers we started with raw oysters (nice and briny) and the tuna tartare that came with homemade potato chips. Both were fresh and delicious. Both of our entree steaks were cooked at a perfect medium rare. I got the filet mignon and he got the prime ribeye. The fat content of the ribeye was divine. He got the peppercorn and mushroom sauce option for his steak and enjoyed it. It was a bit too peppery for me, but I didn't order it, so it doesn't matter! Ha! The mashed potatoes were good, but the brussels sprouts lacked flavor. We ordered the creme brulee dessert was quite good and I usually don't like creme brulee. It had a light coffee flavor to it. They even added a Happy Birthday chocolate and a candle for the birthday boy! All in all, it was a very nice dinner. We didn't feel rushed despite the table time limit, so we really got to enjoy our meal. I would 100% return! read more

A decent steak house, tucked into a side street in Danvers near the Liberty Tree Mall. Lovely decor, nicely appointed with that "Dark Mahogany Flair". A gas fireplace is nice to look at in the evening. Decent bar drinks. Priced about the same as Davio's and Capital Grille on all steaks and sides. They are family owned and have two other restaurants. You'll get what you pay for... nothing fabulous. Expect to drop $175-$200 for dinner for two and a couple of drinks each. read more

What else can I say other than fantastic? The food, service, decor -- all simply fantastic. Food: fresh, gorgeously prepared, piping hot. Drinks: hot and dirty martinis here are out of this world! Service: pleasant, attentive, very helpful in making recommendations Decor: cozy, warm and elegant There are many great steakhouses to choose from in this area, but Pellana is, by far, one of the best. Love the family feel and I truly think everything here is a step above the rest. If you have the tiniest bit of room for dessert, there's a lovely dark chocolate martini that has a little bite-sized sliver of decadent chocolate cake as a garnish. Save room! This is the perfect dessert if you are craving just a little something sweet after dinner! read more

It took 8 years, but we finally made it back to Pellana! First went here in 2016 when our son graduated from Endicott College. Went again 9/1 for brunch after his wedding in Danvers. Roberto was our waiter, and he was very friendly and attentive. Our party of 4 all had amazing food, and they dressed up the creme brûlée with a congratulatory chocolate card for the new bride. I had a crab cake appetizer, and the scallops over lobster risotto. Both were phenomenal. Everyone else had steak, and raved about them. I had a couple bites of my daughter in law's filet, and it was awesome. Great food, great service. I wish we lived closer, we would be here much more often read more
