    We had the best time at dinner. We srevin town for a medical procedure and were looking for a great place to eat. We are so happy with the knowledge of the food and drink. We also had a great time with our server, Benjamin. He was very gracious and personable. He said he had just started being out in the front with customers. We told him he was where he should be, and he added to our desire to stay again at Sorrento.

    We had the tasting menu with wine pairings. The food was delicious. Service was a little clumsy, and the main listed on the tasting menu was listed as halibut but steak came instead (with a Chardonnay in our glass)? Seemed that if the kitchen needed to sub they would have communicated with service staff and adjusted the wine...no explanation given and server didn't seem to notice (but did check to confirm steak was what kitchen intended). And then our check was wrong. Beyond the little service hiccups, we had a great meal.

    Our experience started off with being greeted by an amazing team, so friendly and they seemed genuinely happy to have us. Our server was an absolute delight! He knew the menu as if he were the chef and he had THE BEST sense of humor. That just added to our amazing time celebrating our son’s birthday. Oh, the food was some of the best Italian we have had in the US plus we got an outstanding recommendation on wine! Having this 5 star combination of the above left us sooooo happy and excited to return. Thank you for having us Autumn Seattle!!!
