| - After going twice, I have to say my fiancé and I are definitely fans. My fiancé comes from a family of chefs, so when I say his taste buds are picky... they are as picky as they come. First time we went to Sterling Brunch was back in the beginning for April to celebrate my 30th birthday. Sterling Brunch is definitely one of those places we consider a celebratory dining indulgence; @ $99/person, it's one of those places we only considered coming to for a special occasion.
Our first experience, we were not prepared at all on how to "tackle" the world famous brunch on the strip. We of course made reservations; which are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. You can walk in if you get there before opening at 930am in hopes to sit at the bar, but this place take reservations as far as 3-6months out. So we knew to make reservations. We were seated right away, but we were so excited to eat and try everything, after 45mins I was ready to tap out, having only eaten 2 lobsters tails (along with the other bunch options but I was hoping to have eaten more Lobster Tails).
This second time around, July 30, we were ready to take this brunch on! Secret move we made this time was I grabbed our desserts first, because the Lobster tail is replaced like clockwork, but those humungous chocolate covered strawberries go super quick and are not refilled as quickly as they go. So tip to the wise - grab your dessert delectables first. This time around we were able to stay at the brunch from 930am - 12pm-ish. We took our sweet time, didn't fill our plate every time, eat slow, and really enjoyed every bite we took along with every glass of champagne I downed.
So details on the food/drink experience:
First off, you can't go wrong with bottomless champagne or mimosas. And I love the fact that at every table, they pop open a new bottle of champagne, so it really makes it special for celebratory occasions, or even just to make the brunch experience itself special, (second time around we were celebrating our engagement). I even had to cut our server off on refiling my glass of champagne because they will just continue to refill and refill and refill.
Now the food. O H M Y G O S H!!! Lobster tails are huge and flavorful and cooked to perfection. Shrimps are jumbo peeled with only tail on, Crab legs are steamed with a slight crack to help crack them open. They have a craving station serving prime rib, ham, and rack of lambs. Also served on individual trays are stuffed chicken, filet mignon, and lobster ravioli among other dishes. There is of course an omelette station, along with asparagus, fresh sushi, salads, fresh fruits/yogurt, and silver dollar pancakes and mini Belgium waffles.
Now, ask if i've tried everything.. my answer is no. I cannot tell you how the pancakes were, or if my eggs were cooked to perfection, but what I can tell you is about all the different meats served and all the seafood, included the smoked salmon, fresh sushi, lobster bisque, raw oysters, and of course the reason we come, the lobster tail. Oh, and we are not huge bread eaters when we are out dining... but this place.. TRY THE BREAD PLEASE!! Heaven in my mouth is only way to describe it. Moist soft heaven.
At basically $100/person, I don't see myself waisting time on food I can munch on anywhere else. Again, the second time around we took our time to really eat what we want and really enjoy ourselves, enjoy the moment and enjoy our food. When people ask us, "is it really worth it?" for us it is, and after going twice, I can really vouch for this Vegas Experience and really say if you can afford it... DO IT. We are fans and the experience we've had on both special occasions has been nothing but a delightful experience.
Our service both times were for the most part spot on, hardly no hiccups, nothing to change our feelings of this place and the experience we get when coming. Although people will look at us crazy that we spend that much per person to eat, we definitely have plans to come back for another big special occasion. I've yet to try the bloody-mary bar, which the bartenders brew up made to order speciality bloody-marys.
I mean for us, this special has not let us down, so it definitely earned all 5 stars, establishment is fine dining so of course the ambiance is eloquent and very professional and clean and it's definitely worth the try!
The pictures I took really speak for themselves on the quality of food, and where is definitely more of a Quality over Quantity type place.
