The corner of Cranston and Southbank streets in Sterling, Virginia, is not the most obvious location for a polished new neighborhood restaurant. The entrance to Brasserie Royale, which opened in the Cascades Marketplace development in July, looks onto the backside of a Home Depot, and its neighbors include Starbucks, a smoothie chain and a pizzeria whose outside speakers deliver crooning Italian ballads to passersby. This isn’t a neighborhood so much as a perfectly lovely shopping center.
