We Got Early Dibs at Chive Restaurant for V-Day! Where Did You Go?

I Ain’t gonna lie, we werecomatosed from Chive Restaurant (Ig: @chivejamaica) yesterday.

Check out the highlights here!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3WAw0COEUp/?igsh=cTg3MTA1MTk0ZHps

We went for a late brunch close to 1pm, but ended up ordering from their V-Day Menu.
We had our usual Appetizer Faves, Chive style Mussels and Marlin Canapes, followed by a Savoury Seafood Risotto and Whole Lobster Themidor. Chive dishes thrive with Herbs and the right amount of Spice. We thoroughly enjoyed it all and since we sighted the freshly made Desserts from we walked in, we saved space.

Tiramisu for me, where ladyfingers that were not spared and a decadent, Rich Chocolate Cake for Mr. Suga.

Then homeward bound to our Pawlentine, AnnieB

Hope you had a good one, but remember to Love Everyday, starting with Yourself first.

XoXo,
Suga

TGIF! Where are you Brunching this Weekend? Sending Love from PRESS Red Hills!

Randy and Gabby Burgess of Suga Lifestyle at PRESS Cafe, RHR Business Centre on Sunday, September 3, 2023.

If you don’t know by now, PRESS Cafe (Ig: @pressshopco) is one of Suga’s favourite spots.

Great service and consistency with good food quality and I love a place that’s always CLEAN.

They cater to Vegans and if you haven’t tried Brunch yet at their 76 RHR Business Centre location by Red Hills Road, give it a go!

I suggest calling ahead. The food is prepared fresh, so done to order and you can dine in a comfy environment.

Lots of parking available too.

Looking forward to the new Cocktail menu though, because Suga Loves her Cocktails.

Have a Great Weekend!

Everyday is an Occasion TRIO Grill Wine Bar! Where are You Going this Weekend?

Owner of TRIO Grill Wine Bar, Carlos Maxbrown with Gabby Burgess of Suga Lifestyle on July 1, 2023.
Surf and Turf with Mac-n-Cheese!


I know I have been super late to post my Restaurant Reviews Suga Fam, but forgive me as I have been trying to take Brand Jamaica to the World.

Let’s talk about TRIO Grill Wine Bar (Ig: @triowinebar64) ! Check out the highlights here!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cw7cCHHuPUH/?igshid=NzZhOTFlYzFmZQ==

Thanks so much Carlos Maxbrown for hosting me and hubby for my Birthday Dinner. Yall know when it’s JUNE, I celebrate all Month!

I was delighted to close out Gemini Season at TRIO – One of the best outdoor spots in Kingston for a date night, special occasion or even just casual lunch and dinner. Suga has done it all there and I’ve never been disappointed.

They take their time with service, but the ambience is just right especially at night and when the food arrives, “yuh belly feel arite”.

Whether Seafood, Meats or Both are your fave, kudos to their Chef for mastering them all. They do a killer Surf and Turf and I celebrated Gemini Season with their succulent and sufficiently sized Lamb Chops.

They left me yearning for that Chargrilled Octopus Appetizer though, so I am definitely returning for that soon.

Their Wine List is extensive and is perfect for pairing. Bottle Service is also available in a private section if you are taking your special occasion dining to the next level.

Check out TRIO Grill Wine Bar ! They continue to be #SugaEndorsed.

Cheers to another Weekend!

Why Buzo Jamaica may be Best New or Ethnic Restaurant this Year

I celebrated my Anniversary on April 30 at Buzo Jamaica Italian Restaurant (Ig: @buzo.jamaica) by Park Close, NHT and it did not disappoint!

Outstanding Décor and ambience, well uniformed and hospitable, courteous Staff, effective use of technology for reservations, a central Location, sufficient Parking, commendable Service, impressive Cocktails, varied Menu Options and most importantly, high quality Food and Dessert.

Suga went for an Italian experience, ordering Portobello Mushroom, Carpaccio di Manzo (beef), Squid ink Tagliatelline, Tagliolini pasta with smoked Salmon, finishing with Torta di Lava Caldo al Ciocilatto (Flourless Chocolate Lava Cake, Vanilla bean Gelato and Raspberry reduction) and Tiramisu’ Gelato.

Watch “Why Buzo Jamaica may be Best New or Ethnic Restaurant this Year” on YouTube here:

https://youtube.com/shorts/E_uEBgdTdyc?feature=share

I still give Delmare at Half Moon Jamaica the edge. Though both restaurants have a different vibe, I prefer the versatility of outstanding Seafood and Italian dishes by Delmare, knowledge of the wait staff, the ambience of their seaside dining and being able to order and enjoy a classic Tiramisu.

Great experience at Buzo though. I definitely recommend it for special occasions. #SugaEndorsed.

For Best New Restaurant, consistency is key and besides an Easter holiday when short staffed, persons have reported mixed reviews to Suga from 7/10 – to 10/10.

Subpar Ratings tended to be a result of being a bit disappointed after high expectations (though what you order highly contributes to that perception), value for money or comparisons from persons who have actually been to Italy and enjoyed authentic Italian cuisine.
Thanks Suga Tasters Taraja Jackson, Kimberly Calder and more!

Buzo Jamaica had the most buzz with the anticipation of its opening, where they actually opened during that period of anticipation. There was also difficulty to make reservations in opening weeks due to full capacity. Whether they delivered after that buzz, may still be debatable by the majority.

We must remember other Ethnic restaurants such as Orchid Thai (Ig: @orchidthaijamaica) that have emerged onto our culinary circuit in the past year, New restaurants, Palate and ROKstone at ROK Hotel Kingston (Ig: @rokhotelkingston) and a few more casual, affordable restaurants.

#SugaSnaps to the continuous rise of our Restaurant scene.
