“We are thrilled to honor the 2014 Diners’ Choice winners for Top 100 Scenic View Restaurants in America,” said Caroline Potter, OpenTable Chief Dining Officer. “These restaurants represent the best in destination dining, highlighting the best vistas of the cities in which they are located.” Based on feedback collected from OpenTable diners between July 1, 2013, and June 30, 2014, the 100 award-winning restaurants received the highest scores.
“We are very pleased by this acknowledgment from OpenTable diners,” said Gennaro Criscuolo, operator of Sorrento’s Ristorante. “We are proud to know that these diners thoroughly enjoyed their overall experience at Sorrento’s and gave us such high marks. Sorrento’s was the only restaurant in Central and Eastern Washington to receive this prestigious distinction. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone from my kitchen staff to serving staff for their energy and hard work to make this honor possible.”
Dr. Bob Jankelson, designer and owner of the Sorrento facility says, “This honor confirms our belief that we can deliver world class food and wine experiences overlooking beautiful Lake Chelan. This national award follows Sorrento’s at Tsillan Cellars selection by Tasting Room Magazine last month as one of the Top Ten Winery Restaurants in the Pacific Northwest.”
The beautiful restaurant facility was designed by owner Dr. Robert Jankelson to compliment his much acclaimed Tsillan Cellars Winery, a winery built with the grandeur of a hillside Tuscan villa retreat.
