The editorial take
Sterling's Famous Steak Seafood & Salad Bar - On The River runs a beverage program that leans hardest on its nonalcoholic side. A long list of dirty sodas, mocktails, teas, juices, and lemonades comes with published prices, including the Virgin Mojito, Espresso Mocha Crunch, and Apple Cider Mimosa Mocktail. Cocktails are built on in-house mixers with fresh squeezed juices and agave nectar, and a seasonal page covers cocktails, beers, and by-the-glass wines. A recent customer paired dinner with an espresso martini and called the drinks well made. The wine and beer sides are present but less detailed.
