Sorrel Urban Bistro Restaurant Review

: Restaurateur Ray Salti and Danish chef Soren Pedersen have created a sleek, modern bistro that offers an affordable and organically focused blackboard menu. Yes, Sorrel Urban Bistro sits in a strip center, but the interior has the look and feel of a true bistro with lots of windows. The kitchen opens to a cooking theater and there are kitchen cams that show the action on flat-screens; a charcuterie bar area is open late for cocktails --- like the fresh hibiscus margarita --- and small plates. The menu changes daily but always starts with focaccia and a trio of pesto, tomato pesto and Texas olive oil. Order a bottle of wine --- the back wine wall holds 1,000 bottles of which many are organic --- or a glass of the local Vintners Own on tap. We suggest the warm baby green salad with Texas blue cheese and candied walnuts, crisp-skinned snapper on a bed of creamy herb risotto and charred lemon, and the grilled rib-eye atop cornbread with caramelized onions and more blue cheese. Evident throughout the menu are Pedersen’s European culinary training and knowledge of local food sources. Desserts may include a sweet seasonal blueberry bread pudding with crème fraîche.
