Roland's Seafood Grill
-
Roland's Seafood Grill was originally opened in early 1957 by Roland Chelini. The first Roland's was quite different. Rather than being a seafood restaurant, it was primarily a breakfast spot for produce workers and truck drivers. Now, many of the entrees at Roland's reflect an Italian influence, but there are plenty of traditional American-style dishes as well. Menu offerings include battered shrimp, New York strip steak, lobster, Alaskan crab legs, burgers and club sandwiches. Roland's can accommodate both large and small parties and can arrange live music for special events. The restaurant also does catering.
