| - This is the most expensive meal I've had in a while. At $85 a person I was expecting EVERYTHING to be damn delicious, especially since their food selection wasn't massive. I don't mind if there are fewer choices but PLEASE, make it good! This just wasn't the case.
Problems:
-The eggs benedict was not served right. The tray they kept it in was very warm and probably continued to cook the eggs until basically it tasted and had the consistency of hard boiled eggs. Eggs benedict is nothing without the runny yolk.
-The lobster bisque was not good; it didn't have a strong lobster taste at all. If the "lobster bisque" name card wasn't there, I wouldn't have known what the heck it was. It's also served in a tall cylinder and they don't provide a place to put the lid. The soup handle was also steaming hot and burned my hand! :(
-I've had comparable or better lamb with less fat on it.
-After I took a bite out of my steak, I asked my bf where the filet mignon was. He said, "you're eating it". Need I say more?
-Maybe this is my problem but what's the big deal about the caviar? It tastes like tiny salty balls. I didn't experience any other flavors. I guess I just don't know how to eat it... If you're like me and not really used to caver, I'm pretty sure you won't be falling out of your seat with that "OMG this is delicious" feeling either.
-The orange juice was served in the smallest cups I've never used while dining out so obviously one gulp and it was done. Our server was not as fast on refilling as some other yelpers experienced. We had to remind him a couple of times.
Highlights:
-Obviously the unlimited lobster had to be one of them. They were served as halves with hot butter. I'm not normally head over heels about lobster but the ones here were very flavorful and soft. Definitely the best ones I've had! However, my bf wished the meat was a little more firm. He's the lobster lover and this brunch was more for him. Sorry hun!
-Very fresh oysters and crab! Not for one moment did I question if I'd get sick like I do at Rio's seafood buffet. :P
-The desserts were as beautiful as they were delicious! SOO many times it happens that buffets have very pretty desserts so you load up a big plate, only to be extremely disappointed! At Sterling, almost every dessert I tried was great. I mistakenly picked up the lemon meringue tart (not a fan) but it was delicious! Fluffy, airy meringue and there was a sweet lemon flavor that didn't overpower the tart at all. You could taste the attention that went into it and all the layers of the tart.
The only dessert that I didn't like was the chocolate dipped strawberry covered in pistachios. The nuts weren't as crunchy as fresh ones would be, way more chewy than expected. The chocolate could have been better quality too.
Would I come back? For this price, I think I'd rather go to a fancy restaurant than to a fancy buffet.
