Suga’s Breakdown: 

Coppers transitions from a cosy, casual outdoor setting to fine dining on the inside. The walls are adorned with fine art and your wine selection, then you’re seated with quality tableware.

Our server, Ovando was quite professional and attentive. It was New Year’s Eve, so we were also politely encouraged to select from their party favour offerings with a small contribution and to ring in the new year with them. The music was great, but we had other plans and we were extremely satisfied with our last meal of 2021.

For starters we had Cabernet Braised Oxtail Crisp and Calamari Ripieni. The Oxtail Crisp was divine. It was wine braised deboned Oxtail served in a warm, flaky puff pastry shell. The Oxtail was well seasoned and tender. While the Calamari Ripieni was definitely a different way to have Calamari! It was stuffed Calamari, lightly sauteed in Chardonnay, tomato sauce. Delicious.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Entrees, Lobster Thermidor, that was simmered in a copper pot of spices and a three cheese creamy béchamel. Also, Chargrilled Frenched Lamb Chops soaked in port glaze and caramelized on the grill.

We opted out of Dessert that we’ve had there before, but great way to end the year, dinner left us cheesing from ear to ear.

TGIF! Did You Earn It?! Pop by Pop Lab Confections!

Two weeks ago Suga was delighted to try new treats by Pop Lab Confections (Ig: @poplabconfections) on Red Hills Road.

Their scrumptious Apple Pie, tasty Chocolate Chip Cookies, and delish Oreo Bread Pudding lit up my taste buds! They cater!

The Popsicles had a range of super fun flavours such as Chocolate Covered Cheesecake pops, Passion Mango & Piña Colada. All balanced flavours, nothing overpowering.

They are one of my new favourites for sweet treats and looking forward to having them on the next Suga Show 😉!

Excellent service, great packaging and store layout with an Artisan shelf too. Pop by Pop Lab Confections this weekend! #SugaEndorsed
