Why did we dine here? – Sorrel occupies the space that once housed Nico. Alexader Hong (Quince, Jean Georges) started doing popups in 2015 and moved to this spot in 2018. James Beard Rising Star Finalist. They received One Michelin Star in 2019. You walk in and find another nice looking restaurant serving New American cuisine with fancy local ingredients, Upscale diners in the 40-60’s. Sounds like a formula for half the new spots in SF. Surprisingly the restaurant is very good, far better than we found Nico. Insider Tip – A la Carte menu gives flexibility Cuisine – New American Location – San Francisco Laurel Heights Opened – 2018 Service – Sorrel had decent service, a little lower key than some spots.

Yes. 30 minute? Yes. 1 Hour? Maybe. Sorrel Signature Dishes – Focaccia, Hamachi Crudo, Aged Duck, A5 Wagyu Sorrel’s Menu has 2 directions, a tasting menu and a la carte. Ample options for vegetarians. Every changing menu. Website Sorrel […]
