We started with the bread basket, and the rolls were so soft and fresh that we ended up ordering another one.

Overall, a great dinner experience with good food, fantastic service and a comfortable atmosphere.

Sweetwater has had consistently good food and service for as long as I can remember…read more To the point that early in my career, when I worked at the airport Enterprise, the district managers would come here for lunch and try to poach their servers. Not sure is that worked though since GARs are notoriously great places to work. :) As for food, I don't care how old I get, the chicken tenders are a forever favorite, but their Cajun pasta is my absolute favorite thing on the menu. Also, don't sleep on the Ozzie rolls, and when it's on the menu the crab Louie is incredible. My husband is obsessed with their burger - that's actually his baseline for any restaurant we eat at now. It's a huge space, and they do get really busy, but they take reservations, so it's usually not a problem getting a table. Highly recommend if you are in the area. I wish we had GARs in NC. I miss them so much! Bonus: they are really good with allergies and picky eaters.

I ordered a Reuben sandwich with coleslaw. They make their own Thousand Island dressing and coleslaw, all using fresh ingredients. The corned beef was sliced thin and perfectly cooked. It was a very good Reuben, and the coleslaw was fantastic. (If you love Reubens, you definitely know when a place shouldn't be allowed to make one -- The Fountain Grill gets a solid stamp of approval.) As for the atmosphere, it's a simple, booth-style family restaurant -- comfortable and intimate. I liked the place and the people.

We found this wonderful restaurant on Yelp. It was close to the hotel where we were staying and parking our car on the first leg of our journey to Madrid. We will definitely return next week when we retrieve our car! Buon appetito!

Started with an espresso martini, a smoked Old Fashioned, and the fritto misto to share. Everything was really good. Then we split the lamb burger and the shrimp risotto for lunch. Both were excellent, although I think the risotto edged out the burger. Our server Mike made the whole experience. Before he even brought us water, he showed up with a bowl for Onyx. Come on, that's an instant five stars in my book. We ended up talking wine with him for a good part of the afternoon. He had us sample a few different pours before we landed on a Nebbiolo we loved. Later, after another conversation about wine, he brought over a taste of a white we'd never even heard of because he thought we'd enjoy trying it. It never felt like an upsell. It just felt like talking with someone who genuinely enjoys wine and likes sharing it with people. Relaxing patio, great food, excellent cocktails, and genuinely memorable service. We'll definitely be back, and Onyx probably will too.

We ordered a lot of food, but I personally got the Baked Chicken Scampi Pasta with a side of fries. The portion was huge and honestly surprised me. Even though it was massive, it still felt pretty light and wasn't overloaded with cheese like I expected. The broccoli and tomatoes were a nice touch and made it feel a little less heavy. The fries were crispy and well seasoned too. I also tried the Boom Boom Shrimp. It's a generous 20-piece appetizer that could easily be an entrée on its own. Super flavorful, although maybe just a little heavy on the mayo. We ended the night with the donuts, which were airy in the middle and really good. The place itself is big, not too rowdy, and the service was decent overall.

I do think that a mix of the steak and other dishes is a good balance but it would've been great to have more greens as an option.

I first heard of this place when Yelp sent an email with suggestions on where to eat in the area…read more Having never had Venezuelan food, I was curious about it. I looked at their menu, then set out to learn about their various entrees. My husband agreed to give it a try. Before going, we settled on trying "Pabellon Criollo" which is considered the Venezuelan national dish. We were here on a Saturday around 5 p.m. and were surprised to see a few large parties dining in. Also, people came in to get their takeout orders. Not sure as to how the ordering worked when dining in, we made our way to their counter. The owner, Carlos, spotted us and got 2 menus. We confirmed that we wanted to dine in. Carlos is very friendly and welcomes customers with a smile. He also was our server. To drink, I had a lemonade while my husband had a can of Coke. We let Carlos know that we were both having the Pabellon Criollo. This dish consists of black beans with a bit of shredded cheese on top, white rice, carne mechado (which was shredded), 2 arepitas (small arepas) and some platanos maduros. When the food came, it was obvious that the platanos were freshly made. Carlos also brought a bottle of brazza sauce (also called "salsa de amor). He told us we could put it on any item we wanted. It's a mild sauce which is mayonnaise based with cilantro. We enjoyed this dish. Everything was mildly seasoned yet still well flavored. Nothing went to waste! When it was time to pay the check, Carlos rang us up. We both say we would like to return and try their steaks. From start to finish, we had a great experience.

Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted and seated instantly. They took our orders shortly after, although I did notice it took a bit longer than expected for our drinks to come out. For my entree, I chose the Mediterranean Chicken Risotto. They offer a choice of a half portion ($21) or a full portion ($27). I opted for the half portion, and it was just the right size for me. It came with a pretty decent amount of risotto topped with chicken, artichokes, tomatoes, spinach, feta, all over pesto base and finished with lemon sauce. The risotto itself was creamy with a nice texture, though the flavors were not as bold as I would have liked. With all the ingredients, I would have expected a little more flavor. It was still good and enjoyable, just a bit more subdued than I expected. Overall, this was a nice spot for a casual dinner on a pleasant night out in Sterling.

Cocktails were my La Serre Martini and my husband had a Le Steb. We both loved the goat cheese salad (think they called it something else) appetizers. I enjoyed the Steak Frites and my husband had the Halibut. Dessert was a chocolate profiterole and a crème brûlée. Our server presented me with a little dish that included two small scalloped shaped muffins that tasted almond flavored and came with a little candle that he lit at the table for me to blow out. He nor my husband sang, which was fine I love French food and this restaurant is the perfect place for it and the decor truly resembles a traditional French Brassiere. We will definitely be revisiting soon.

The food was beautifully presented and the wine pairing was superb. Definitely recommend having them pair your wines. The grilled shrimp was a great start. The sparkling rose made the shrimp taste even better. The goat cheese ravioli was probably my favorite savory dish of the evening. The sweet sage-maple syrup-tomato sauce was fantastic. The Sancerre was pleasant with it, although I thought the ravioli itself was more impressive than the pairing. I had to order bread so the sauce wouldnt go to waste. I ordered the lamb medium rare, but it arrived closer to medium, and initially it was somewhat underseasoned. After adding salt and pepper and getting some of the thyme from the plate into the bite, the lamb became significantly better and worked better with the Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The creamed spinach underneath was delicious on its own, but I didn't enjoy it with the wine. Interestingly, the absolute highlight of that wine pairing was the braised garlic. The sweet, mellow garlic and Châteauneuf-du-Pape were wonderful together. Dessert was the highlight of the entire pairing. The lavender ice cream was outstanding, the Chantilly surrounding it was light and delicious, and the strawberry sauce wasn't overly sweet. The Sauternes was excellent with the dessert, particularly with the fresh strawberry. This was the pairing where the food and wine truly made each other better. Even though I was one of the last diners of the evening, I never felt rushed. My server was very attentive and social which I love. It was very romantic and yet comfortable enough that dining alone wasnt awkward. I'd happily return.

The Bungalow Lakehouse has something for everyone with their separate dining area, dining area…read moreinside the bar area, a separate bar with a variety of high tops, and a deck bar with limited seating around the bar which serves the customers outside smoking cigars. Food is OK quality and prices are reasonable if not inexpensive on their specials, like the steak and ribs for only $25. Good flavor and cooked ok but a nice combo for the price. Service is OK with some wait staff being more efficient than others. There were some who knew their customers by name and took time out to talk with them but that slowed down service a little for the rest of us. Nothing too bad but you might wait a bit for refills or something you need after your food or drinks arrive. We had cool fries and it took a bit for the staff to come back to our table to check in the dining room. Similar response time for wait staff outside when we needed condiments that were ordered but didn't come out with our entrees. Cigar menu is an ok selection where there is something for everyone; however, our experience was the place ran out of the first four cigars we selected and each time the wait staff had to come back to our table to tell us they were out of that cigar. Wait staff didn't know what cigars were in stock and which they were out of. Overall, very good experience for both inside the dining area and outside where you can smoke. Recommend The Bungalow Lakehouse as it is a good experience and has a variety of experience options.

The choices were: outside, the sports bar, or the dining room. We chose the dining room. A large group of people was sitting at a table. We were given a booth by the window and right by the server's station. Looking over the menu at home, we both decided that we would get a bacon cheeseburger. The entrees seemed, to us, to be too filling. The bacon cheeseburger consists of: "100% angus burger, apple-wood smoked bacon, vermont white cheddar, canadian cheddar, sliced tomato, and crispy leaf lettuce". We both ordered it cooked medium. The dish comes with fries. To drink, I had ginger ale while my husband had a Heineken 00. Our server was friendly and efficient. He made a mistake, bringing my husband a Coke instead of the beer. My husband corrected him. He apologized and retrieved the correct drink. The burger was dry and overcooked. It was more on the medium well side. In one way, I didn't mind that as I didn't end up with greasy hands or a burger that falls apart. The bacon and the cheese provided some relief from the dryness. The fries came out hot, which we appreciated. All in all, it was an OK experience; we would consider going again sometime.
