Sorrel

My first time at Sorrel yesterday. A really beautiful restaurant, understated, decor and absolutely exquisite service, especially the sommelier who was so passionate and knowledgeable. The food was, of course, delicious; beautifully presented and described by the headwaiter. A really lovely experience and would definitely recommend(especially with the wine pairing option on the menu). 😍🥰

A magnificent experience! Staff were incredibly welcoming, patient and attentive - we were made to feel very relaxed and that we could enjoy the experience at any pace that suited us. We had a newborn with us and they did everything to make us comfortable. The quality of the ingredients were unbelievable - biggest and tastiest scallops I have ever had, perfectly cooked duck - and one of the best desserts I can remember. Sorrel is a real gem that slows down time so that you can truly savor the magnificent cuisine. Jenny was great too - well done team Sorrel you smashed it!

Dinner for 2 in May of 2023 and we were completely blown away by the food, presentation and service! This is a place worth traveling to! We were invited back to the kitchen and although it was the middle of a very busy evening service, Steve took a picture with my wife and I and we admired the gleaming, spotless kitchen and the brightly lit pass. We felt from the moment we arrived that we were going to be treated to a very special evening. Special mention on the wines that although we didn't spring for the pairing (I was driving) the options available were really outstanding, we enjoyed every sip, and every bite, just a perfect night out, and worth the flight from NYC to visit! We would go back in a heartbeat!

Second time at the restaurant, and it was a wonderful experience. It was a mini honeymoon as we got married the day before. We went for the wine flight too and was served by Luke(?) who was very interesting and served some incredible wines. Flora (we think that was her name!) was our server and she was exceptional. And finally, the food was just brilliant and so so tasty. It felt a bit like having the best food we've had in ages in a family home type vibe, so lovely was the atmosphere. Obviously it cost and arm and a leg, but it's really worth it and you must have this kind of restaurant experience at least once if you're able to, especially for a special occasion, or if someone else if paying! Thanks again for making the effort with the flowers, personal menu etc. It meant a lot! Cheers, Dave and Chloe.

I think Sorrel is one of the best restaurant I ever visit in Surrey Area , here is in UK since 9 years I live in this country. I am always amaze how the chefs are preparing this finest food by seeing the presentation with perfect real délice. We was 6 of us, and all my friends enjoying the food, from beginning till end of Degustation menu which the only one choice , and it was perfect, also the Wine list a lots of choice. Love the ambiance of the restaurant , so cosy and relax old house . And the service was also correct , so after all just perfect fine dinning restaurant in Surrey area. I am glad and happy as all my friends they like it and keep thanking me by introducing this place. Sure and certainly I’ll be back again before I left this country. Highly recommended for those who knows the real fine dinning restaurant with high quality food.

We had a most memorable 3-course lunch at Sorrel. The ambience was relaxed and intimate, service was very good and attentive, but most importantly the food was perfectly executed and tasted delicious. Every dish was well balanced, sophisticated and beautifully presented. We didn't expect this from a restaurant outside London; the food was on par with the best Michelin-starred restaurants we tried in London, including 2-Michelin-star restaurants The Ledbury and The Greenhouse. Mr Drake is a highly talented chef and I wouldn't be surprised if the restaurant soon gains another star. Highlight dishes were the Herdwick Lamb main (with Jerusalem Artichoke, Smoked Paprika, Sherry, Miso Aubergine) and the Venison main (with Bitter Orange, Earl Grey, Kalamata Olive, Broccoli), and the Apple dessert (with Black Pepper Caramel, Thyme Cream, Malt). It's not cheap but definitely worth a visit for a very special occasion. We cannot wait to return. Second visit: Sublime food, as always, but service a bit slow on this occasion. Sometimes I wish there was a bit more of the delicious accompanying "sauces" on the plate, or a bit more sorbet in the desserts, but this restaurant remains at the top. Third visit: Service was slow again, and not at the same level as the food served, unfortunately. Also, for a lunch at £45 per person, it is a bit disappointing that only one brioche was given with a 3-course meal. When asking for some bread, I was told that they prepared exactly one bread per person, and that bread was complimentary. Apart from that, the dishes were excellent but really small. In the strawberry dessert, one tiny scoop of divine strawberry sorbet is really too little, and a few more fresh strawberries pieces would be most welcome. Because of all this, I have removed one star. Fourth visit: Everything was excellent this time, and service is faster and staff is more friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, and so it made sense to upgrade my rating to 5 stars!
