Sorrel Urban Bistro

Born out of a shared vision to bring affordable farm-to-table dining to Houston, restaurateur Ray Salti and Executive Chef Soren Pedersen are collaborating to create Sorrel Urban Bistro, a casually elegant, fresh space with an ever-changing chalkboard menu of organically focused cuisine. This restaurant represents the second culinary collaboration between Salti and Pedersen who are also partners at Ray’s Grill, a highly-lauded field to table concept in Fulshear, 20 miles West of Houston. Sorrel features menu creations directed by seasonal availability of organic fruits and vegetables, along with certified natural meats and fresh sustainable seafood. At Sorrel, however, the 15-item menu changes several times throughout the week, capitalizing on the cream of the crop, the very best farmers have to offer at any given time. The restaurant offers an a la carte dinner menu, as well as an evening five-course prix fixe, available with or without wine pairings. During lunch service, the restaurant offers a three-course prix fixe in addition to the a la carte menu. Sunday brunch is served a la carte from 11 am to 3 pm. Sunday Chops & Frites consists of an ever-changing a la carte menu. The restaurant is closed every Monday. Unique to Houston’s dining scene, a dedicated charcuterie bar offering sliced-to-order charcuterie and artisan Texas cheeses, Italian market style. About half of the charcuterie are house-made, the balance are imports. The light and airy 4,000 square foot dining room with maple finishes throughout seats 90. The charcuterie/bar area seats 30, and the awning-covered patio featuring over-sized pots of fresh herbs seats 40. An open dual French kitchen streams live video of Pedersen and his staff preparing the night’s meals from 6 to 9 pm on monitors throughout the restaurant, as well as on Sorrel’s website. Sorrel’s one thousand bottle wine wall features more than 200 labels. One-fourth of the inventory is organic or green. Bottle prices will begin in the $20s. Eleven wines are be available on tap. Beers are be artisanal, cocktails seasonal. Happy hour drink specials are available Tuesday through Sunday from 4 to 7 pm at the bar. Reverse happy hour is Tuesday through Saturday from 9 to 11 pm.
