We went to Wildflour with my parents and had an great time. The food was excellent start to finish, everyone cleaned their plates (even my mom, who never finishes her food). We had the roasted mushrooms and focaccia for an appetizer. Entrees were the spaghettini, lingcod, short ribs, and halibut dishes, all the perfect portion sizes and delicious. We will definitely be back again in the future.

This restaurant is superb in every way. It is so popular that it is often crowded, and depending on the guests, it can get noisy. However, the service is oustanding, and the food is really good. Lots of choices on the menu.

Enjoyed some lovely cocktails and a wine flight with the cherry brie (yum!) and some flatbread pizza. We really enjoyed our meal and had a great server. It’s a little pricey but isn’t everything these days?

I had the salmon and it was seasoned to perfection as were the grilled zucchini and asparagus! My sister had the halibut special and enjoyed it immensely also. Our waitress was very attentive. I can’t wait to come back to try the scallops!

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.

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!

From the start, our experience was nothing short of spectacular. We were greeted warmly and personally upon entrance, which caught us completely by surprise. The atmosphere of the restaurant was fun, as my wife put it. The aesthetics of the building and the look inside was warm and welcoming. We definitely enjoyed our meal, and look forward to returning.

This was the second time that I have dined here and luckily I was seated inside because it is starting to get cold outside after sun down. Every course was served soon after each course, and it was an enjoyable experience for about 2.5 hours. There were many plant based ingredients creatively tie everything together. I could taste chef's heart poured into each bite, and for the price, it was a great value. Highly recommend anyone who wants to experience farm to table creative multi course dinner to come here.
