Polished French-leaning spot with standout tartare, duck, and seafood; lively room and strong wine list, but service consistency, noise, and price transparency can frustrate.
Sorrel delivers competitive neighborhood dining through strong food quality anchored by excellent steak tartare and duck confit, paired with a serious wine list that justifies its destination appeal. However, quality variation across visits and inconsistent service prevent grade A-grade performance. The European-style patio setting is charming but cramped seating limits comfort during peak service.
One caveat: Service inconsistency: some tables get stellar attention, others struggle to flag water refills
