| - Sunday brunch at the Sterling was ok, but not great... I had a few quips about our experience dining here. We had a reservation at 10:45am and the restaurant was about half full. We were seated closer to the back of the restaurant.
After we were seated, we had a bit of champagne and then our server asked if we would have liked juice or coffee. (If you know me, you know I love a strong cup of coffee in the morning.) It pains me to tell you that the coffee offered at the Sterling is some of the grossest coffee I've had in my entire life. It was basically black water with a hint of coffee taste. I took one sip and never looked back. Disgusting.
One of the things my husband said he'd read about was how great their pop-overs were. We headed over to the buffet, but when we returned to our table, there were no pop-overs. Our server (usually I'm good with names, but unfortunately cannot remember hers) even sat other parties down near us - and she brought THEM pop-overs, but WE still never got them.
The buffet had a nice selection of seafood: jumbo cocktail shrimp, raw oysters, stone crab, Alaskan king crab legs... Even though our plates were full of shellfish, our server brought us a plate for shells but no claw crackers or tiny forks to maneuver them with. When we finally asked for them, it was delivered to the wrong table.
Our water glasses were empty more often than not and we had to request it to be refilled. Seriously?
There were times that our plates weren't taken away because the servers didn't come by often enough to clear the table. This is a buffet - get with it!!! They also didn't give you new utensils if they took them away with your dirty plates. That was mighty annoying.
Dessert was mediocre. Some of the chocolate tarts tasted stale.
Bathroom is across the way in Bally's. I would have preferred to not walk through that ashtray of a casino to use the ladies' room. Plus it feels like you're going back in time to 1990.
And who the heck said the attire here is "classy"??? The description should really say, "classy, but not really." My husband wore a polo with slacks, and I wore a dress... While other guests rolled up into the joint in t-shirts, hoodies, sneakers, bejeweled tank tops, and sports bras. Are you for real??!?? Not classy folks!
I ate all the king crab legs that my little belly would allow. That was the only decent thing (IMO) at the Sterling. Other notables include the lobster tails and caviar. If you're not a seafood fan, I would say pass. The non-seafood options were your basic eggs, bacon, sausage, pastries, ... Asparagus, lamb, fruit/yogurt, and sushi.
