We ended staying for the cocktail class. Lots of fun. Great vibe. Great people. Samet was our instructor for the Tequila tasting. He too was very friendly and made the whole experience a lot of fun.

I've had enough from their menu to tell you they're extremely consistently delicious.If you save room for dessert and don't like anything on their menu, try abbots frozen custard next door, best ice cream you've ever had.”

Casa Tequila Bar & Grill 7 Pidgeon Hill Dr, Sterling Bar & Grill • $$
7 Pidgeon Hill Dr, Sterling

“I found the service at this establishment to be satisfactory, and the food was decent, though not exceptional. However, my dining experience was marred by the excessive focus on happy hour margarita specials and the lack of clear separation between the bar area and the dining room. This resulted in loud and disruptive behavior from intoxicated patrons, both at the bar and at nearby tables. Additionally, I observed instances where the server seemed overly eager to continue serving drinks to individuals who were already visibly intoxicated, which detracted from the overall atmosphere and enjoyment of the meal”

“Had the chicken pad Thai and ordered it "Thai hot" and was not disappointed. It could have been spicier, but it was still very good. Highly recommend and glad my coworker found it because I would have looked right over the place because I don't eat seafood so wouldn't have looked at a restaurant named "The Seafood Lover"!”

Ivy By The Lake 46110 Lake Center Plaza, Sterling Middle Eastern • $$
46110 Lake Center Plaza, Sterling

“My husband and I checked out this place for the first time after seeing that they host a 90s r&b brunch on Sundays. The inside aesthetic was a vibe and the DJ was playing a good mix of 90s and early 2000s music. They had a guy selling cigars on the patio and they also offer hookah.Food: The brunch menu is a different menu from their regular menu with a handful of brunch items (not much was Greek food which was a little disappointing) including bottomless mimosas. They offer three brunch pricing options and we opted for the $59 per person 3 course + bottomless mimosas. We received a bread and spreads board, one appetizer each and one entree each for this price plus a mimosa bar where they bring a carafe of champagne to your table and you make your own mimosa (or Bloody Mary) at their drink bar. They had a good choice of syrups, juices and fixins for a Bloody Mary or mimosa. We both ended up ordering the chicken and waffles which was a fried chicken breast on top of two waffles with butter and super diabetically sweet syrup on top of the waffles. I will say the meal was good, however the fried chicken (while fresh and hot) was a bit bland and needed the super sweet syrup or maybe hot sauce to add flavor.Service: service was alright in my opinion. The place was pretty empty and our server was very nice, however it was odd to me seeing our server as well as the other servers smoking hookah and chilling in the booths and tables like they were just hanging out. I do get that there wasn’t many patrons/customers so they didn’t have much to do, but I guess I would just rather not see it while I’m dining. At times our server took quite a bit to come back to check on us or take our other orders and it was mostly due to her talking and hanging out. The DJ and other guy (not sure if he was the promoter or staff) with him was extremely friendly and offered us drinks on him which was. A kind sentiment (we never got those drinks though lol).Overall, I think this place was really nice and I believe that they will improve once they have been doing the Sunday brunch a little longer. I’m pretty sure they just started doing the Sunday brunch and not many people know about it yet. I would come back and try out their dinner since I really wanted to try more Greek food”

“10/10 better alternative to Buffalo Wild Wings or Wingstop. The wing flavors are fun and creative (get the sweet and Smokey bbq!!) also the old bay tots with hot honey are chefs kiss. So perfectly crispy and the sweet and savory flavor profile is unique/ to die for. Also liked the beer selection, it had a better selection of ciders and local beer than you'd see at BWW.”
