Sorrento’s Ristorante at Tsillan Cellar’s owner, Dr. Bob Jankelson, admits that the food of Italy captured him before he developed his interest in wine. Dozens of teaching trips to Italy instilled an appreciation of Italian cuisine paired with food friendly wine shared with friends and family. The same meticulous attention to detail evident in Tsillan Cellars stunning Italian architecture and grounds, transfers to a kitchen that brings world class dining to the shores of Lake Chelan. In winter, the inviting Italian fireplace and panoramic views of Lake Chelan and snow clad mountains blend with award winning food and wine to leave indelible memories. Outstanding ambiance, food, wine and service--- four reasons Sorrento’s Ristorante at Tsillan Cellars was named OpenTable Top 100 Scenic Restaurants in America in 2014. We were named WA State Winery of the Year 2020 by Wine Press Northwest! We look forward to your visit.

    Sorrento's is always a great experience. The views of Lake Chelan are amazing as is the food. The Tsillan Cellars wines are a great value and some of the world's finest wines. We are members of the "red wine club" and like to enjoy all their varieties of fine wine as much as possible. We have been coming here for birthdays and anniversarys for a couple years now and are never disappointed. It is a one of a kind place built on the hard work of the owners and employees who are so very dedicated to perfection.

    We absolutely LOVE Tsillan Cellars for not only their wine but also how hospitable they are. We are from the west side so we normally go to the Woodinville tasting room, but for our anniversary we went to the Chelan Estate location and it was STUNNING. Staff was so personable and friendly. Food was amazing at Sorrento’s. Would definitely recommend!

    We made reservations for dinner. It was very loud and bright when we walked in. We waited about 5 minutes to have our drink orders taken. The hostess didn't seem happy to be there. There was an amazing man who went table to table and sang, it did add to the noise level though. We tried to order the calamari and their fryer was down. We were not offered an alternative. Ordered rack of lamb and steak. Presentation was lacking, steak was salty and lamb was ok. Potatoes were not very flavorful.

    Hostess lost my confidence when I gave her our name for our reservation (that I confirmed twice this week) and said "I don't think I have that." We were early, and they were running late so we went to choose wine. The man at the counter acted like a surfer guy, complete with absent mindedly forgetting our order while taking a selfie then rudely interrupting a conversation with the next server who kindly stepped up to help us. Our table was ready and was the opposite of what we reserved. No view in a windy, ill placed corner where it took the flustered waitress 10 minutes to get to us. Apps and salad were good. Side salad nothing but greens as described. So boring compared to my ceasars. Wine was excellent. The canneloni however was a disaster. Over-cooked, flavorless and dry. When we mentioned this our server was dismissive. Boo. I was so excited to go here finally. Not worth the money.

    We were seated promptly and greeted by our server. We were off to a good start with good menu recommendations. It took a bit for the server to get back to take our order. After the food was served we saw little of the server. We were considering more wine but by the time we finished our meal the server had not returned. We asked the person who had delivered our food for our check. The food was great and the view was spectacular. Too bad the service wasn’t better.

    Was there with old friends who hadn't been there for a while due to health issues and longed to go. One really missed the mint jelly with her lamb chops (a tradition) otherwise evrrything went well. We loved our waiter who took such good care of us. The halibut dinner was sensational...the halibut was more tender than I ever remembered and sauces were a great addition. Thanks so much

    We've eaten here for years but lately seems like the dining experience continues to get worse. 3 of the four dinners that came to our table were cold, lukewarm, and undercooked. The server was nice but was taking are of so many tables that we had to chase down other help to get other requests we had.

    One of our favorites in the Lake Chelan Valley and the dining experience is always top notch with attentive staff. The omelet and accompanying potatoes were a little skimpier than in previous visits. Still very good but not extraordinary as we usually see here. We'll be back as I'm sure this will be addressed and food will be more satisfying again soon. The tiramisu dessert and coffee were outstanding.

    Beautiful view of Lake Chelan & lovely Italian ambiance inside the restaurant. Food always delicious & beautifully served. Today service was a bit slow but otherwise a stellar experience.
