Sterling's - Boston

Sterlings seems to be a good place to grab drinks and a quick bite. It is definitely not as busy as the surrounding restaurants, which can be a sign that it should be avoided. However, the terrace is beautiful and the pretty atmosphere was too tempting to skip after the masses of the rest of this location. Had a beer, a cocktail and the avocado street corn dipping... it was quite tasty, even though it didn't look terribly appealing. My dining companion skipped it and preferred to stay on the chips. Service was friendly, but seemed inexperienced. The bartender used the glass to shove ice for a bourbon on the rock.

Dang. We should have known since it was one of the only places in Quincey without a line or wait. The hostess sat us, but never brought menus. After 10 mins I got up and asked for a server. He came over promptly to take our order without even noticing we didn?t have a menu. We ordered quickly but then waited 45 mins. I didn?t know guacamole and oysters took that long? I got up and asked about the food. Our totally over cooked wings oddly came out first which did not match the menu description. We also added fries to the wings, which didn?t come w the wings. When they finally came out, they?re cold. The dish was NOT worth $18. The $15 corn and guac came with maybe 10 chips. Not worth the wait or cost. We didn?t want to risk it w the oyster so cancelled them. Which at that point, took about an hour to even arrive. Place wasn?t even that busy. Avoid this place. Quincy restaurants w lines and waits are worth the wait for a reason, clearly. The server was sweet though.

Food was pretty bad and expensive. Avocado dip and chips was $15. Wings were over cooked and not good. Nice location and outside setting though. ??

Quickly seated. Service was good except for waitress forgetting only my drink out of a party of 7 people and not asking how everything tasted. I ordered the boneless wings and they were not tenders or boneless wings but they were full size breasts breaded like wings. BBQ sauce tasted great but the chicken was tough and hard to eat. Left hungry. My family on the other hand let me try some of their food and the rest of the food was good.

A nice place for drinks and quick bite. The service was good. Nice patio and outdoor area.
