Sorrento's Ristorante — Restaurant in Wenatchee

EDIT: Adding another star after attending Easter Brunch. See below for brunch review.

We attended for lunch and were so disappointed. This use to be one of my favorite restaurants in the entire state. It's been many years since coming here so I was looking forward to it. Seared scallops was one of the best items on the menu but has been removed. Prices are high and portions are minimal. We both left hungry after a $50.00 lunch and we only drank water. $24.00 for their spaghetti and clams. After pulling all the shells out there was maybe 2 oz of pasta worth about 25 cents. Clams were tender. Overall flavor was mediocre. I wanted some grating cheese but our server never came back until we were finished eating. But considering the tiny portion, it didn't take long to eat. They don't even include bread unless you order it. I heard they have a new chef. My recommendation, rehire the old chef and bring back the old menu and portions. Cancelling our dinner reservations and going somewhere else. We also have Easter brunch reservations. Going to keep that and hope their brunch buffet is better.

Easter Brunch was phenomenal! Absolutely delicious food. Service was top notch and this was the experience I was use to at Sorrento's! I'm glad we finished our Chelan trip on a high note! We will now give them another shot at lunch or dinner in the future.

Complimentary bread would go a long way. To avoid waste, ask patrons if they would like it before bringing it...

Sorrento’s is one of the nicer restaurants in the Lake Chetan area. The restaurant is positioned in the middle of a vineyard. This is a winery and restaurant combo. The restaurant and bar area are amazing with great appointments and a million dollar view.

The staff is top notch. The ratio of servers to customers seemed to be good. There was only one table buser/setter running around like crazy and refilling water glasses. I hope they share tips with this person 🙂

Overall the food was executed well. The fare was mostly Italian with familiar steak and seafood options. The sauce pairings were unusual and not to my tastes. The bread was amazing. The appetizers were very good, from the sauces. The main courses looked very good but the plating was so hot the food touching got overcooked.

We found the best Chardonnay,our tastes buttery oak, in the entire region. There are a lot of wineries in the area and each have Chardonnay but processed in many other ways.

Dessert was good but nothing special.

You need reservations even during off season. This place is not a secret. This is a local hangout based on the cross table talk and waves across the room. Dress is resort casual but this is an upscale white linen table cloth restaurant that demands a bit better dress than what was allowed. That said enjoy this dining experience.

We will most assuredly return to this restaurant and partake of the other...

First I'll start with the good. Amazing venue. Great scenes of the lake. Beautiful grounds,especially at sunset. Service was good bordering on great. Disliked the check being brought after 2 bites of our dessert but otherwise the service was flawless. And the wine...is exquisite.

Now for the food. We started with the mushroom cap appetizer and ordered the prawn risotto (specifically specified to come out as an app). The mushroom caps were decent although nothing amazing. The risotto however was completely overtaken with Lemon. Not a hint of lemon or "lemon notes" it was straight up "lemon risotto" and a bit disgusting. Although the juice from the mushroom caps helped mellow out the lemon when mixed together.

Next we ordered the pork chop. It came out black and dry. Overcooked and unedible. It was piled high with "garnish" as though the kitchen staff was trying to hide the charred, long dead pork chop. Even the center of the thick cut pork chop was dry.

The tiramisu was fantastic but after voicing our displeasure of the porkchop we were quickly given the check (literally 2 bites into our dessert) as though it was time for us to leave for the night.

We really enjoyed the wine and the winery tour earlier in the week, but just cannot stand behind the food here. Especially for a...
