Restaurants near Boxford State Forest

Excellent server, Amanda! And the food absolutely fantastic! Thanks so much.

First time visitor to The Autograph Tavern, we sat on the second level which had a bog bar area. Unfortunately there were a bunch of college football fans cheering for their team which made for a loud experience. It was the playoffs, so … but the restaurant is probably loud anyway, high wood ceilings with nothing to dampen the echoes. Service was attentive and pleasant. Decent selections of drinks and beers. Burrata appetizer was tasty. The mains all got thumbs up (I got fish tacos which were good but so overstuffed it was quite messy, less might have had better balance with the fish) and the Choc Cake dessert was good and large enough to share amongst 4 of us.

We had a great time and it was a great night but for the food and drinks price wise it’s not Boston. The seafood could have been better. Steaks were fantastic. Highly recommend getting steak if anyone reads this. However, staff and personnel get 5 stars!! They were amazing!! Just a little pricey.

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.

Very good ... Everything was as expected with nothing was unpleasant... Would recommend...
