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.

This is to my knowledge the best restaurant in the Chelan area. The food is excellent: the tomato bisque was outstanding and the rack of lamb was a generous serving and nicely seasoned. The service was efficient and unobtrusive - as good service should be.

Canyon River Grill is our favorite "Special Place" in Kittitas County! We've been here many times and each time the food and service was exceptional. We always make reservations for a window seat and lately have requested seating in the remodeled deck as it is easier to hear one another there and the view is terrific! We had fish and chips (always great!) and Caesar salad.

Dining at Kingfisher has always been a superlative experience, so I was thrilled to see they've finally reopened their doors. We ate there for breakfast and dinner, and enjoyed every meal. My tuna tataki was seared to perfection, and it came with a huge portion of the best salad I've ever had (try the beekeeper's dressing). The fresh biscuits were our favorite part of breakfast. You can order wine or cocktails with your meal, and the setting works for family groups, romantic couples, or even just a solo getaway. If you were used to Kingfisher before the pandemic, you now order off a menu rather than going through the buffet, but the options are still plentiful and there's plenty of choices for those with any intolerances. If you want to experience fine dining in a beautiful setting, away from the bustle of touristy Leavenworth (and hey, free parking!), get to Kingfisher!

Service was best it’s ever been from the past slow experiences. Husband had salmon and he enjoyed it. I had chicken piccata and wished for more lemon flavor to come through. Mountain View was a bonus. Definitely going back.
