When I eat out I want the food to be as good or better than what I can fix at home. Both the food and the service are consistently excellent at Hoist House - and it is the restaurant we frequent more than any other in the area. We most often come in for lunch - and enjoy the flatbreads and salads (they have a wonderful Caesar that is excellent topped with blackened steelhead!) . For dinner, you can't beat the steak - but I had a pork tenderloin the other night (with braised red cabbage and potatoes) that melted in my mouth. Can't wait to enjoy those leftovers! We love the vibe in this beautiful lodgy building - and switch it up between the high tops in the bar and the comfy couches in the lobby. The restaurant space is great for a more special occasion. And once the sun is shining, you can't beat the outdoor space overlooking the golf course. And finally, the wine. Also consistently excellent!

About the restaurant

The Metropolitan Grill. The moment you step into the Metropolitan Grill, you know you have entered a classic steakhouse. Guests enter through tall mahogany doors to be greeted by tuxedo clad Maitre D’s. Cuts of beef are showcased in a glass display in the front entryway. Framed photographs of celebrities, sports heroes and local politicians, all frequent visitors to The Met, line the walls.

At the Metropolitan Grill, the focus is on the Prime beef, American and Japanese Wagyu. Steaks are seared over the high heat of the “Iron Wood of the World,” imported mesquite charcoal, ensuring the most tender, juicy steaks available. Metropolitan Grill Chefs personally select each cut that is served to guests.

The Metropolitan Grill’s award-winning wine list showcases the definitive steakhouse selection of premium West Coast red wines, with special emphasis on Cabernets, Merlots and Meritage.

Chelan

About the restaurant

Sorrento’s Ristorante at Tsillan Cellar’s owner, Dr. Bob Jankelson, admits that the food of Italy captured him before he developed his interest in wine. Dozens of teaching trips to Italy instilled an appreciation of Italian cuisine paired with food friendly wine shared with friends and family. The same meticulous attention to detail evident in Tsillan Cellars stunning Italian architecture and grounds, transfers to a kitchen that brings world class dining to the shores of Lake Chelan. In winter, the inviting Italian fireplace and panoramic views of Lake Chelan and snow clad mountains blend with award winning food and wine to leave indelible memories. Outstanding ambiance, food, wine and service--- four reasons Sorrento’s Ristorante at Tsillan Cellars was named OpenTable Top 100 Scenic Restaurants in America in 2014. We were named WA State Winery of the Year 2020 by Wine Press Northwest! We look forward to your visit.

Sammy is a phenomenal server. One of us has an allergy to a specific type of ingredient and she made sure that the kitchen was on top of managing that. Details details! The casual ambience is very relaxed, music energetic but not too loud. Food was inventive and very well executed. Nicely done!
