Top notch from beginning to end. Nice old style feel, where you know the people next to you in suits probably make $1 million+ a year, yet inexplicably the loud- mtalking foul-mouthed man beside you and his girlfriend with a stocking cap on still somehow felt comfortable here (I was very grateful when they left so I could actually hear my friend talking). The service was impeccable. There was never a moment when I had an empty glass or a missing piece of silverware. They start out with a gigantic tray of bread options, all of which looked delicious. On the table is an entire roasted garlic atop

Sorrento was the perfect restaurant to enjoy a lovely romantic dinner. Guests are able to bask in the dim lighting, beautiful ambiance, and impeccable service all while being serenaded by a talented pianist playing classic love songs. Fabian recommended the most delicious wine, appetizers, and entrees and was the best server. It was truly an experience to remember.

This was a fantastic place for dinner! The atmosphere was very romantic. Live piano music and beautiful decorations. The food and drinks were great. Make sure to valet your car because you will get towed if you park on the surrounding streets.
