Suga’s Breakdown:

Kingston needed another ice cream shop and we got it! Cute, ice cream shop tucked away in Northside Plaza with a warm greeting as you step in and great service. The workers seem happy and serve you up your ice cream with a smile as they should. They have a variety of flavours to choose from and give you the options to have with a waffle or two ($150 – $350JMD) and to add liquor on top for $150 – $250JMD.

If you are confused about the steps when ordering ice cream rolls, it’s pretty easy. Tell the cashier your choices as follows:

PhotoGrid_1538392812897.jpg

Thanks to everyone who came out to my GW Art exhibit! I truly appreciated the overwhelming support and enjoyed every moment of it.

Thanks to all who purchased GW Art pieces for themselves and loved ones.

For those who didn’t get the opportunity to view and shop the New Collection, today is the last day for the GW Art exhibit at the Reggae Mill, Devon House until 8pm.

For those who have their eyes on GW Art for Christmas…it’s coming! Stay tuned for more news on that!

I would like to say a big Thank You to Alexx Antaeus for providing such a great opportunity and the perfect space to exhibit at the Reggae Mill Bar.

Kudos to Alexx for being inspired by Swizz Beatz’ No Commission Movement. Swizz Beatz along with The Dean Collection team are “by the artists, for the artists, with the people.” All sales go to GW Art and the complimentary space will be provided to another artist for the next two weeks.

Remember some eye-catching GW Art Paintings are still available such as ‘Dance Tempo’!

Suga Endorses Leather Sandals from Jan’s Accents!

20180928_060315
Suga a.k.a. Gabby from Suga Lifestyle sporting her Handmade Leather Sandals in different shades of blue from Jan’s Accents

I needed a durable, affordable pair of comfortable blue sandals that would go with a range of items from my wardrobe.

Jan’s Accents had a variety of sandals to choose from, but I wanted a pair that wasn’t a gladiator type, i.e. strapped up to my ankle in case I wished to wear the sandals with jeans, leggings etc.

I found just the pair.

Janice Forrester, Owner and Manager of Jan’s Accents also said she had the perfect blend of blue shades for me and I trusted her judgement.

She facilitated sizing the sandals to fit me just right and worked quickly within an estimated time frame. I received efficient service along with unique, stylish sandals that had a comfortable fit enhanced by soft padding in the soles. They were affordable, costing less than $10,000JMD and this was all topped off by Janice’s confident, but bubbly and pleasant personality, which had me ordering more!

Get your Handmade Leather Sandals and more from Jan’s Accents today!

Why is South Avenue Grill Buzzing with Diners?

Suga’s Ratings for South Avenue Grill 

Date and time of visit: Saturday, September 22, 2018 at 9:20pm

No. of diners: 2 adults

NB. Ratings fill 5 stars maximum

Parking: ★★★★★

Ambience: ★★★☆☆

Décor: ★★☆☆☆

Comfort: ★★★☆☆

Service: ★★★☆☆

Speed: ★★★★☆

Food quality: ★★★★☆

Serving amount: ★★★★★

Plating: ★★☆☆☆

Value for $: ★★★★☆

Suga’s Breakdown:

My husband and I were greeted by courteous staff. We had a 15-minute wait to be seated and it was observed that tables could have been cleared more quickly.

Food was served in reasonable time, which was excellent considering it was a full house. The serving size was more than adequate. Our Steaks were cooked to order (medium rare), well seasoned and grilled to perfection. My Chimichurri sauce tantalised my taste buds with spice. It was much preferred to my husband’s creamy sauce that did not have the flavour of Peppercorn. Best place to eat Steak in Kingston right now for a reasonable price. Best place in Jamaica? Marguerites Seafood by the Sea in Montego Bay!

Cocktails disappointed with no banana for my Hummingbird and no mint leaves for the Mojito. We also heard someone shout that there was no more steamed rice. Mega Mart is just up the road. No excuses.

Also, after so many years of going to this restaurant, I still have difficulty reading the menu and would appreciate more lighting while dining. String lights and perhaps uplighting from the garden and sides of the pool would suit their rustic-garden ambience.

Why is South Avenue Grill Buzzing with Diners? 

It is no white glove service and plating is far from extravagant, but service is decent, food is in abundance on the plate, it tastes good and the price is right!

Our waiter, Kenyon was a bit nervous, but quite attentive and hospitable with a touch of humour. I would be happy to return and have him or one of the other pleasant waiters or waitresses serve my table.

My husband and I’s Succulent Steaks! #SugaEndorsed
