Tracy, long term server is always professional, thoughtful and amazing to be around. Balsamic salad complex and delicious. Tenderloin always great. We met the young woman who created the raviolis. Very interesting interpretation. Well done.

We absolutely love WaterFire! Their service is top-notch and their food is amazing. Please commend Chef Derrin and his staff for their superb meals, serving staff and presentation. The menu has changed, which is a good thing, but I was so disappointed the 'Fish Fry' had been replaced with 'Fish & Chips'. I truly missed the former battered Fish and Prawns and the way the fries were served in their own cute basket with all the sauces. My husband had the Halibut on the fresh sheet last night and it was to die for! :) We'll be back very soon!!

Chelan

About the restaurant

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.

A preparatory note-make reservation as soon as possible. Sorrento’s books up fast! We had lunch there as we could not get in for dinner. Our lunch options were varied from pizza to a veggie omelet! All delicious and our server was charming and efficient. It is open air with a panoramic view of Lake Chelan. Water fall and koi pond and adjacent to a fantastic winery. It is a wonderful, wonderful restaurant!
