    Our table was the only one occupied in the standard seating room during our dinner on a Saturday night. Waiter responded to my request for a recommendation for non-alcoholic drink, only to return to tell me the bar was missing a key ingredient. We ordered oysters as an appetizer after being told they were really good. Waiter returned to tell us they were out of oysters. Rocky beginning in our own private dining space. Salad, appetizer and entrees were good. Some good food, but overall bad experience.

    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 tomato bisque, grilled cheese, and hamburger. All were excellent. Service by Benjamin: very good. There is not a more pleasant place in Seattle than Stella's patio on a sunny day.

    Thank you, Lee, for sharing your thoughts. Benjamin was thrilled you noted his name. He takes extreme pride in his profession.
