The Financial District's Sterling's has a "pretty" patio, and that seems to be the only reason the Globe's Devra First gave it the lone star she did. Despite some "better" dishes like a "nicely done" roast chicken, items like pork belly sliders with Dr. Pepper barbecue sauce ("dry meat and no discernible Dr. Pepper ... flavor") leave First largely unimpressed. "At Sterling's, the food is sometimes insultingly bad." [BG]
