    One reason I get drawn back to Sorrento is their apple tart dessert, likely the best in the city. It was, as always, delicious. My Sea Bass was outstanding, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented with sautéed spinach in a feather-light citrus sauce. My wife enjoyed her boneless chicken leg stuffed with goat cheese and herbs, served over linguini with mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. I tasted it. Delicious. Our experience, Sorrento, is at its best when it is not too crowded. Go early!!

    Romantic date night with the hubby. Food was excellent, atmosphere was nice and quaint. Rear dining/patio room was very secluded and a little too warm this time of year so we chose inside seating. The large display tray of fresh bread and herb infused olive oil would have been a nice start had the bread not been exposed to the open air of the entire establishment and too hard to chew. Maybe personal preference but we would have rather had a softer garlic or French bread to dip in the oil. All in all it was a very pleasant dining experience and we will be back.

    Sorrento continues to be the best restaurant in Houston for us. The food is delicious - you must try the risotto starter and for entrees the ravioli (vegetarian), the whole branzino (it was the special), or the osso bucco. The ambiance is wonderful with some very nice live piano music with Mark. And of course, the service is excellent - unfortunately, Fernando was off this evening, but Stephen did a wonderful job covering for him. Do yourself a favor, make a reservation at Sorrento and let your senses enjoy themselves here.

    The so called “lasagna” consisted of ground beef between 2 lasagna noodles. It wasn’t baked in a casserole. The roasted garlic clove in the middle of the olive oil dish was so dry that the garlic cloves could not be removed from their shell. Horrible food at very expensive prices.

    We had the short rib and the osso bucco. Osso bucco was basic and not as good as what we have had in the past and the short rib was terrible. The selection for bread was good. The drinks were subpar. I ordered a lemon drop which came with a wedge of lemon that had a brown rind. My husband’s old fashioned had an orange wedge in it versus the typical rind that you see. Additionally, we were taken to the patio area when we arrived. There was plenty of room in the main dining room, where they had someone playing the piano, so we couldn’t understand why we were seated on the patio most especially since we made a reservation. The floor on the patio appeared to have not been swept in several days and there were utensils on the floor from previous guests. The entire time we ate the staff sorted flatware and ironed tablecloths near us. The area seems to be a prep location for the restaurant. Needless to say this activity did not set an inviting mood while we dined nor did we feel welcome, since we were relegated to the back of the restaurant. The waiter was very nice and extremely attentive since we were the only patrons in the area, for all of except 20 minutes of our dinner. Of course we won’t be back.
