It was amazing! Dream about it until after the Devon House construction finishes though. Sorrrry, they are temporarily closed, renovating the dining and bar areas in the mean time. So until then!
Enjoy the weekend!

Good Morning Suga Fam! I’m awake! The Coffee has opened my eyes😀
Making your way off or towards the AGR Byfield Highway and need to make a stop for some good ol’ Jamaican cuisine?
Stop by the The Roxborough Bar and Grill (Ig: @_theroxborough)! They are open EVERYDAY for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Parking is adequate and the staff are quite hospitable.
Di Ackee did sweet mi and di family did love di Run Down. Breakfast came out quickly too.
I hope it’s the same for Lunch and Dinner, especially if you get Seafood.
If you feel stranded and hungry, I got you.

Last Sunday, us Ladies swapped Kitchen Aprons for chic tops & Sunday dresses to head to a late lunch at the new ROK Hotel Kingston (Ig: @rokhotelkingston) in downtown Kingston.
Very much like downtown Miami, it’s paid Parking.
Tasteful, modern decor with furniture and art from local artists adorned their lobby and walls as we headed up to the Rokstone Grill.
The breezy seating area with a spectacular view of the waterfront was spacious with comfortable options and we were greeted pleasantly and seated immediately.
Be conscious of dress/skirt as well as hairstyle choices ladies.
Our waitress was none other than the bright and charismatic, Sasheni! You better ask for her!
She took us through that menu like the grill had been opened for a decade. Her suggestions were on point too (Hint Hint).
Suga has received quite a bit of feedback before deciding to visit. The fine dining restaurant would not be open until 6pm, but would I put on my Sunday dress, let down my hair and head to this new rooftop grill with jazzy music and order a Burger? Let’s be a bit more adventurous when we go out and try new places Suga fam.
We kicked things off with Passion Coconut Seafood Ceviche, Crispy Calamari and Baby Greens with Granny Smith Apples.
The Ceviche needed to be complemented with something like a Pico de Gallo for added flavour and colour on the dish.
The Calamari was a bit on the salty side and we had to ask for the passion fruit-thyme vinaigrette, which was supposed to be drizzled over the Baby Green salad. Then it was good to go. Quite a large serving too.
Cocktails arrived and they were fantastic. Especially the ‘Rebirth of Kingston’, similar to a sangria, but with rum.
Our mains arrived in covered bowls to withstand the breezy elements of the rooftop. We enjoyed the Pimento Grilled Chicken and Guava BBQ Rum Ribs accompanied by provided Walkerswood pepper sauces. The Ribs didn’t slide off the bone, but they were still tender and juicy.
We were very tempted to have the Dragon Stout Brownie as the finale, but Sash sold us on the Mango Cheesecake that was not presented as your typical Cheesecake slice. Kudos to her, it was fantastic! I’m still going back for that Brownie though.
Lovely day out Suga Fam. I advise you to participate in the rebuild of downtown Kingston. But of course, you need to carry a little extra dues. Enjoy the weekend!

Café hop with me ðŸ˜ðŸ§‹
Cafe Dolce (Ig: @cafedolce) now has another location in Progressive Plaza, Liguanea!
I will give them a chance to get up to speed with their usual service time, but I got my expected standard of high quality for my choices on the menu. They have lots of healthy choices too!
This time I chose the grilled Chicken Pesto Panini with a Matcha Green Tea Latte (+almond milk).
It’s a cool workspace too. Go visit the new Cafe Dolce soon and have a great day!
XoXo,
