The food was very good. Portions didn’t correlate to prices though. Our server was very negligent. I never had water filled. Appetizer came out with our entree.

We had a delicious meal to celebrate our engagement. The hostess was kind and congratulated us, and we were seated at the bar as we had requested. The bartender was sweet and knowledgeable and gave us Prosecco to toast with.

The food here was great however service was pretty mid. Could tell our waiter was ready to get out…he didn’t really explain dishes when we asked for what his favorites were. Hostess was really sweet so kudos to her. The vibe and setup is nice, but was super disappointed by our waiter.

Honestly very disappointed - very expensive and not tasty. Every dish was boring or just bad, service was very weird. Did not enjoy.

The food as always was wonderful and the host was warm and friendly. Service was off compared to our many previous visits. Had to flag people down to get a wine refill, get salt, etc and check backs as food arrived were minimal. Warm appetizer arrest the same time as a cold salad—wish the server ha suggested timing those differently. Noise at first was awful. Music was so loud we could have a conversation sitting next to each other; host graciously adjusted it when we asked and then it was much better and much more cozy and comfortable. Restaurants, please: we dine out as much to enjoy one another’s company as your food and atmosphere. One should enrich the experience of the other. Finally, please consider candles or small table lights, not just to ease ordering but to give a softer feel to the whole room. The cool dim distant lighting in Sorella does the beautiful space and wonderful food a disservice.

Sorella was lovely. The kitchen was open and visible, which I love. The servers were so very friendly, attentive and informative. Menu was creative and everything was SUPER YUMMY. Beautiful cocktails (very small portions for cocktails but not a huge negative for me). I went with 2 others and they were also both very happy with their meals and cocktails. I recommend and would go again.
