    I eat out at least 2 or 3 times a week. Pellana stands out for several reasons. From the minute you walk in the staff is friendly, and relaxed. They obviously want you to have a good experience. The setting is definitely upscale . Although I have seen people in casual clothes, I feel like it's a place that warrants a little "dressing up". This is just my opinion, not theirs. I ordered a glass of wine. I had ordered that same wine at another restaurant recently. Although the price per glass was the same, Pellana had a much more generous pour. For lunch, I ordered a steak tenderloin , medium rare, on a bed of lettuce and tomato and balsamic. It came exactly as ordered. It is a perfect meal especially for those who want to avoid carbs. We did not order dessert but we ordered a coffee and a tea. Both of these came in small pots and were perfect.

    Once again our dining experience at the Hawthorne Tavern was outstanding and we loved the ambiance. The servers were nice and good at their jobs. All four of us at my table enjoyed our meals which were served promptly, even on a night when the Tavern was packed. I'd especially like to call-out Lori for taking such good care of us. My family, friends and I will be back.

    Went with 3 friends on a Friday night at 7pm for a birthday dinner. The atmosphere was perfect! Cozy and festive, holiday music playing at an enjoyable decibel. We were treated with a round of limoncello because we were celebrating a birthday. The food was delicious, the service was excellent. It was a busy night but we were never rushed and allowed to take our time. 10/10.
