Sweetwater Tavern in Sterling offers a fantastic dining experience with delicious food and exceptional service. The menu is simple but includes unique items, and the beer selection is impressive, featuring many local options. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff, including Mr. Jay and Lauren, go above and beyond to ensure guests have a great time. Highly recommended for a delicious meal and top-notch service.
