Sterling's Famous Steak Seafood & Salad Bar - On The River

Came here while visiting family, from out of state, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food, salad bar and drinks. They even have freshly squeezed mimosas! And who can pass up this view of the Columbia River from the patio!?

I had one of the best restaurants experience here. The food is super delicious. The blue cheese steak was super tender and melting in my mouth. Only wished our server could be more attentive and polite. Otherwise, food and atmosphere is great!
Definitely come back here next time.

Great service and a beautiful view. The restaurant could have been cleaner, I saw eaten bread rolls & random fries on different areas of the floor and dust dangling off the hanging fish sculptures. Food was mostly average, cocktails were delicious though. "The Cod Father" unfortunately looked and tasted like it came from Denny's. I expected much nicer plating and quality, the side salad, however was very good. Our order of "The Beach Party Platter" had overcooked shrimp and clams that were on the tough side. Basically, anyone at my table who ordered seafood felt let down. The "Korean Cauliflower Wings" were actually fantastic, with a nice sauce and the addition of cilantro, green onion, & purple cabbage balanced it really well. My husband, who usually dislikes cauliflower, actually went back for more after I made him try it. The salad bar was ok, but if you don't eat soups/chili/meat it really didn't feel worth the price. I'm honestly a bit disappointed based on the hype this place has from some locals. I might try it again, but for breakfast instead.

We called ahead of time and they were able to sit our party of 18 for breakfast! We were coming back from court to celebrate an adoption so it was nice to get in right away. I had no idea they served breakfast. Even though we were a large group we didn’t feel spread out in great service. Our food still came out together. The food was really good and we all ordered different dishes (besides the children). The sterling breakfast sauce is amazing!

Service was good, food was good. The view of the river was also nice...I had a watermelon margarita...didn't taste like watermelon, was very tart, and appeared that they used grapefruit juice? I don't know.

I know that every place is short staffed and whatnot, but when she brought out the food, she left the check. I know that it was probably to save a "step" in our process of checking out, but when she left the check, it felt like she wasn't coming back to see if we needed anything else. Maybe I'm old school, check should have been kept until we were ready to check out. And...she didn't return right away, more like 15-20 minutes...didn't bring steak sauce...
