Jojo G.

Great cocktails after a long day. The staff and service are friendly and helpful. Casual environment with music playing overhead. I really did this place and will be back!

Came for the brews next door and wondered on this side following the lights and so glad I did! This place is a hipster girl neighbor cocktail bar next to the Crooked Run brews. I had a $5 Whisky Sour for happy hour and it was the jam. They have plenty of seating and have fun actys like the trivia. Oh and look at the ambiance. Instagram girls or Nova take note!

After stuffing my face with a biscuit sandwich and fries it felt like it was only right to get a juice on the way out. It's healthy and it's refreshing so why not???? Right??? Located in the same space as Daybreak, you can get a juice, a mimosa or a beer all in the same place. I got a Crisp and Crisp it was!!!! It combination of watermelon, green apple, mint and lemon. Sure enough you could taste all the ingredients too!!! So fresh that if I had not watched her pull on the tap and watch the juice flow into my cup, I would have thought she juiced it fresh while I waited. The location is lovely, well lit, wide open spaces with plenty of seating. They co-share a space with Daybreak so you can juice and eat at the same time. I did notice a stage in the corner so they may have live performances and such in the future. Looks like from the sign out front they have brunch too!!! It's not just a juice spot though, let me be clear. I like to think its an all inclusive bevy spot since you can get a juice, a mimosa and a beer. Cheers to that!!

I understand wearing a mask sucks. I do it while caring for patients up to 12 hours a day....but seriously wear your mask while you are in food prep areas! Love the food, atmosphere, concept; I've been here many times and enjoy it. Would NOT recommend during COVID.

Monique B.

Throughly impressed!! There's a unique variety of cocktails and mimosas to choose from. We tried the Watermelon Crisp and Blaze mimosas...both were refreshingly delicious. The bartenders are top tier. I've never seen a drink smoker before, but hello Old & New. I love that it's situated next to @DayBreak, drinks and brunch all in one....definitely looking forward to next time.

Nectar is my go-to bar in Sterling. Not only do they offer a variety of beers & wines, they also make fantastic cocktails. Nearly all the drinks are beautiful (picture worthy) on top of being tasty! The food is also amazing, although you have to purchase it at a separate counter from where you order the drinks (two different entities) I've tried their chicken sandwiches, pork belly sandwich and chicken wings and all were delicious. Every time my friends come out this way to visit me, I end up dragging them here. My goal is to eventually try all their cocktails. I wish they had more extended hours, they close at 10pm (last call is at 9:30pm) even on Friday's. I am also personally not a big fan of comedy/open mic nights. I accidentally came during one, one evening, when I wanted to catch up with a friend and it was hard to with a "show" going on. But I'm sure I'm in the minority (there was a large crowd) and will just avoid going on those nights in the future. Also while their menu advertises "select cocktails" on the happy hour menu, there's actually only one cocktail that's happy hour discounted which is the planter's punch!

This is a different concept for the area. It's attached to Crooked Run Brewery and next to Daybreak which is a new restaurant. All drinks here, alcoholic and non alcoholic, are based on cold pressed juiced. I tried the Bold and Brave which had tequila , watermelon, grapefruit syrup, soda and habanero shrub (shrub is a drinking vinegar). Sounds funky but it was a great combination of flavors. The space is big and service is great. I think you can bring food and drinks from Crooked Run and Senor Ramon. Overall it's a great addition to the Sterling / Ashburn area

Nectar Cocktail Bar is located next to Crooked Run Brewery. Plenty of parking. Orange Mimosa - ok Suggestion: provide a water cooler station. I was able to get water from the soda dispenser using a coffee cup.

The drinks on tap were great but I was really impressed with the hand mixed cocktails. Great drinks and very friendly service. I really enjoyed my visit.

Jonathan G.

Okay I have to say, if this bar was a lot closer to where I live I would visit it more often! I love the look, I love the prices, and their mixing is on point. I order the Blood Orange Margarita on a Saturday evening as one of their specials and it was one of the best margaritas I have ever had. The price was great also, $5 and they didn't use cheap tequila either. What more can you ask for. Their specials were reasonable and they bar was clean. Everyone wore a mask and were super friendly. The best part is that it was busy and I still was attended to with professionalism and great customer service. I even got to sample some ciders (that I didn't like), but if I did I would have bought two. I will be coming back again, I just need to find a special reason to drive an hour away from home to visit Nectar again.

This is a nice casual place to grab drinks! They have a menu with cocktails or you can probably order what you want off the menu. I ordered a strawberry cocktail and I like how they aren't too strong. They drinks came out really quick and there's a good amount of seating. When I went, they had a comedian show going on for free. So I would check the vibes of the events going on over the weekend before going. read more

July 2022 - COVID Review: I hadn't been to Crooked Run in a few years so it was nice to hear they expanded and added a couple extra places in their space. Nectar has daily drink specials and a bunch of different cocktail flights - including a margarita flight for my fellow tequila lovers! They had good drinks and a number of tables for small and large groups. We went on a Friday night and there was a live performance happening on stage. read more

Came here about an hour and a half before close on a Friday night. It was pretty empty for the size of the space but there was about 30 people in total and half were at the bar. There was only one bartender and he seemed pretty busy when we walked in. After sitting for a few minutes and listening to karaoke we decided to leave and try this place again another time. Maybe next time it will be a little more lively and there will be more than one person bartending. read more

Ordered a cold brew coffee this morning since I was eating at daybreak (share a space) and it was disgusting. The coffee had a horrible tea after taste that I'd never experienced with a cold brew before. It also was 6 DOLLARS for the size of a Starbucks tall (12oz). Way too expensive if you ask me. Giving them 3 stars because I like the environment and I didn't try an alcoholic drink which might be delicious. read more

These cocktails rival anything you'll find inside the beltway, and in a fun environment. I had the Bloody Brexit (bourbon-based cocktail) and my wife had one of their wines: amazing! I was also there during Battle of the Bands - we couldn't believe how much energy these live music events have. With two restaurants and Crooked Run Brewing attached in a foodhall-type setup, you can bring any crowd here and there will be something everyone likes. Wish I could give it six stars, will definitely be back. read more

I don't know where to start, first if you are a female in a crop top, you'll likely disagree with this. Understandably. My group and I all ordered separately with my husband ordering drinks for the both of us as I was at the table with our child. The first round were all inconsistent. My drinks with my husband, the special had no ice and color was dark as the juice poured. My friend (crop top wearing) had a drink with blueberries, the works and ice and tasted delicious, could actually taste the alcohol that belonged. Her partner got the same but his was juiced down. We all took turns trying each other's drinks to compare. We then ordered food, which was delicious so daybreak has it together. Took awhile but expected on a weekend. We ordered a second round and this time the male bartender audibly said to my friend ( crop top) I gave you a bigger cup, both her drinks were served in a bigger cup. Ours were smaller, and again she got the blueberries and we got none. Our last round was mimosas, just traditional, my husband got one and the bartender served him that in a smaller cup, smaller than the mimosa cup I had. And it was LARGELY orange juice. My husband is passive so when he came back I went right up there and confronted the bartenders who KNEW I was coming back for that. I took the cup they gave him and poured it into the cup I had and showed them difference they were charging the SAME for. They looked at each with a loss of words almost with no explanation. It was embarrassing to watch them fumble over the fact they had been caught. I attached the pictures of what they did to try to get the same amount for. I've been here before and a LOVED it, even recommended it to people but the blatant misogynistic treatment was deplorable. Do better, it's 2020. We don't need crop tops and female body parts to be served equally. read more

Nectar shares a space with Daybreak, which I'd say is the main attraction. Nectar serves drinks only - fresh pressed juices, cocktails, some wine, and beer from the nearby brewery. I tried the blaze juice and it was really good, just not worth it for $7. I'd be happier if it were around $5, for the serving size. I forget what beer my boyfriend tried, but it had mango in it and it was really good! I don't even like beer that much but this one was nice. A cute concept, just wish prices were lower! read more

Be ready to be disappointed by the bartender. Completely ignored by bartender because of a request to to serve the Rye Whiskey Neat. Female bartender was awesome. Angry gay guy showed up and ruined the entire experience. Ignored, money ready to spend, for 30 minutes with 6 customers in the entire establishment. Ready to love this place and I will not spend my hard earned money there going forward. Very sad considering it was an office happy hour. Go somewhere else. read more

I was really impressed with this French cafe style spot in Sterling, from the decor to the service…read moreto the cocktails. I would recommend a reservation because with rain outside aka the patio being closed, the whole inside was packed. A lot of the seats are super close which feels very European but you can hear most peoples conversations which can be annoying. Our waitress was really sweet and stopped by a bunch. We started with French 75's, hot coffee, and an espresso martini. The drinks were refreshing and quite large for the price. The espresso martini really reminded me of a grown up hot chocolate, I really enjoyed it. I later also got a cucumber vodka martini and it was one of the most refreshing drinks I've ever had - definitely the drink of the summer. For our food we started with the baked brie with fig and garlic and the escargot. The brie was a unique take on baked brie, I loved the way the flavors all melded and the fact the cheese wasn't completely spilling out everywhere. The escargot was soft with a phenomenal crumb/butter mix, the whole things really melded well and melted in your mouth. The bread served with it was nice as well, if only I had a bit more of it. For our mains we were here during brunch so we got the lobster omelet and the French onion soup with the side of fries. The french onion soup was great, a good amount of cheese and onions without being overwhelming. Fries were fantastic and quite large, a big portion for $7. They hooked it up with the amount of lobster. I would definitely come back to try their lunch tasting menu or other brunch items as well!

The short ribs fell apart without a knife bc they were sooo tender and the desserts were expertly crafted. I might go back just for dessert yum!! The Brie appetizer was enjoyable though a little small if splitting. The shrimp cocktail were very traditional. I enjoyed them. My husband loved the homemade baguette although I wonder if it's because the butter was so good; the bread itself was a little hard for me and of course room temp as is typical in France. Kids enjoyed the kids options (though preferred our dishes). Pasta in cream sauce and steak frites were their choices. It was really loud inside particularly when tables in the middle of the room were occupied. Outdoor patio might be pleasant for easier conversation. Also bring a sweater- if you end up under an ac vent, it can be cold.

First, the hostess acted like we were an intrusion into her evening, didn't welcome us or make eye contact. She sat us at a booth, which didn't work, so she did seat us at a table. I asked for a vegetarian menu, knowing there was one, but she walked off, did not return. Our waiter was a young man, spoke very softly; we both had a difficult time hearing him. My wife ordered her drink; I asked for a few more minutes. That drink did not appear until half my meal was over, which I did not appreciate. And I had to ask 3 times to get the drink, including asking another waiter. We ordered salad and main dish; my vegetarian menu finally appeared. It just seemed both the hostess and our waiter did not care to attend to us. I do not know if we will be returning; and to top this all off, both the hostess and waiter called us 'Guys'. When two older women are sitting at the same table, we are ladies, or simply nice to see you two tonight. Please tell your wait staff to get this right. We like Bungalow Lakehouse, it is close to home, and the atmosphere is comfortable.

Ventured out for a change of scenery and decided to try Ivy by the Lake. We arrived around 8:30 PM,…read moreand the ambiance was really nice-- really cute spot with good music. We ordered the hummus and pita, which were excellent. The hummus was incredibly creamy and smooth--one of two the most memorable I've had--and the pita was full of flavor and extremely soft. I ordered the Chapli Kabab Burger, which was just okay for me. It comes with two patties, making it a bit too heavy, and while it had some spice, it lacked depth of flavor and had more jam than I preferred. The Brussels sprouts were heaven sent, and the hookah was very smooth. Service was good--nothing standout, but nothing negative either. A DJ came on later in the night, which added to the atmosphere and made it lively and allowing us to talk comfortably. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I'd definitely go back.

After looking at Ivy By The Lake's menu online, we decided to give them a try. They open for…read moredinner at 4 p.m., and we showed up shortly after. While there are some good things about the place, which I will list first, there are some not-so-good things. The good --- When we arrived, the place wasn't busy at all. There were a few people sitting outside. The dining room was empty. Throughout our meal, we had the place to ourselves. Our server greeted us and seated us. Masha was very friendly, polite, and efficient. The dining room was decorated with artificial hanging plants. Also, there was a large mural of Eve holding the apple with the serpent coaxing her to eat it. Now for the not-so-good things --- getting to the entrance wasn't easy, especially for my husband, who is waiting to get his knee replaced. To reach the entrance, you had to walk down a paved path with descending steps after parking the car. Upon entry, we had to climb a somewhat long staircase. On the way out, Masha stated that there was a ramp and pointed to a door leading to the kitchen and said we could go out that way. We chose to exit the way we entered. Also, they don't have any printed menus -- just a QR code to scan for the menu. We found that to be off-putting. Fortunately, we had already decided what to order before coming here. We chose to start with "Zaytoun", which consists of "Mixed Pitted Olives Tossed In Extra Virgin Oil. GF". This was a tasty starter. There were a few different types of pitted olives. However, we didn't think that there was any olive oil in the small bowl; rather, it appeared to be brine. For our main course, we both chose "Beef Kofta" which consists of: "Beef rolls served with Lebanese Couscous, Refreshing Tomatoes, Cucumber, & Labneh". The beef kofta was very dry. Growing up, I sometimes had Kofta, and it often turned out quite dry. The kofta did have some kick, and the small amount of very tasty labneh helped mute the spiciness. The Lebanese couscous portion was huge. That, too, helped give moisture to the kofta. This was a filling meal, and we ended up taking some home. Weighing the pros and cons, the cons, alas, outweighed the pros for us.

The cozy atmosphere, stone hearth, and warm decor make it the perfect place for a date night, a special occasion, or just a great evening out. The food is outstanding. The crab dip, the housemade pasta, and the burger are all incredible -- clearly made with real care and quality ingredients. The cocktails are equally impressive and keep pace with the food perfectly. The variety of seating -- dining room, lounge, patio, rooftop, and fire-pit areas -- means there's a perfect spot for any vibe, whether you want something intimate and quiet or lively with live music on the weekends. Service was warm and attentive, and the whole experience felt genuinely special without being stuffy. This place has become my go-to recommendation for anyone visiting the area.

Complimenting the ambiance, the service was great! The server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, making great recommendations. We came for brunch and ordered the breakfast burger and pork belly breakfast sandwich. We also split the avocado toast as a starter (we were starving!). The avocado toast was perfectly prepared - toast was cripsy on the outside and chewy and thick on the inside. Ample smattering of smashed avocado with the fixin's. The burger was very good and my friend said they would totally order it again. The pork belly breakfast sandwich held together perfectly despite the inside being heavy. Pork belly remained perfectly crunchy and it had a heavy helping of melted cheese that was not overpowering. Brunch was amazing and we want to go back and experience the patio when it's warmer and also some live music! Such a great vibe and good food!

Fresh and warm, they had a crispy crust and a soft interior. They resembled mini ciabattas and were scrumptious with the butter. The salmon en croute blew me away! It was of the best dishes I've ever had. The salmon melted in my mouth, and the puff pastry was still crisp. I loved the flavorful sauce; it made the dish even better. The steak frites were just ok. The steak was cooked to my preference, but it was bland. The fries were amazing, though. Crunchy yet fluffy. I wish the steak came with a sauce, like the one served with the salmon en croute.

Upon our arrival, we were seated near a window overlooking the sidewalk where we were able to watch people passing by while enjoying our candlelit meal. 10 out of 10 for atmosphere at this charming and cozy table. The service was prompt and attentive. We started by enjoying a few of the craft cocktails, which were simply wonderful and the product of a talented and adept bartending. If your idea of a good cocktail involves slush or machines, this is probably not the place for you. I enjoyed a dirty martini, as did my youngest daughter. My oldest daughter enjoyed a French 75. All lovely and all perfectly mixed. I would return here if nothing more than the cocktails! For starters, my daughter shared the Pate De Campagne, which consisted of country style pâté, cornichons and toast points. They loved it! My wife enjoyed the Salad Verte and I loved the Roquefort Salad. Both salads were simply marvelous and went well with the freshly baked bread. On to the main event! Fo her entree, my youngest daughter had the Roasted Cornish Hen. She had never had Cornish hen before, but this particular rendition made her a fan of the dish. Perfectly cooked, juicy and savory. My older daughter enjoyed the Salmon en Croute. The salmon was perfectly cooked to the correct temp and the pastry was spot on. A lovely dish and one I will try on our next visit. My wife and I each devoured the Chicken Paillard. This is one of those dishes that is so simple, but the lemon butter knocks your socks off. If it wasn't such a lovely restaurant, I might have licked my plate. Yes....it was that good. I ate every last caper! For dessert, we shared a portion of the luxurious pistachio cheesecake. An excellent ending to an amazing meal. This charming restaurant is a jewel in the heart of Herndon. I highly recommend it for your next special occasion. We look forward to returning soon!
