Suga Baby, Tricia-Gaye O’Connor’s Breakdown!

Tricia relished in the ambience of the Summerhouse at The Liguanea Club and particularly enjoyed her Insalata Caprese and Grilled Lobster.

20190723_153132
Insalata Caprese (Tomato, Fresh Mozzarella, Basil, Scotch Bonnet Oil) -$1200JMD
20190723_153104
Grilled Lobster with Charred Tomato Butter ($4900JMD)

She also shared the Shawarma Flatbread, Grilled Lamb and Ember Roasted Sweet Potato with a friend. They topped off dinner with a delish Brownie and ice cream. With regards to portions, she thought you had to be familiar with the menu to be aware of what the optimal choices were, but all the dishes she had were quite tasty.

20190723_153228
Shawarma Flatbread (Grilled Mushrooms, Pickled Onions, Spiced Yoghurt, Fresh Herbs) – $1250JMD
20190723_153249
Grilled Lobster; Grilled Lamb with Mint oil and Sundried Tomato Tapenade ($4900JMD); Ember Roasted Sweet Potato with Pickled Onions, Chevre, Herb oil, Goat Cheese ($950); Shawarma Flatbread

There weren’t many diners at the time, but access to Wine was slow. Service was decent otherwise.

The Summerhouse’s Veuve Cliquot Garden Party is a considerable option for dinner after work. It’s best not to go on your own though, as most dishes are enough to share. After all, it is a Garden party! The atmosphere is private around 6pm and more guests seem to arrive about 7/7:30pm. Their menu is posted online and Suga Baby, Tricia would return.

GW Art’s Summer Collection at Christmas in July Next Week Thursday!

20190709_023534
GW Art’s ‘Regal in the Room’ from the New Summer Collection

No one tends to ignore the Elephant in the room, especially when it looks so regal!

‘Regal in the Room’ is part of GW Art’s new Summer Collection and will be at Christmas in July next Thursday, July 18th at The Jamaica Pegasus from 9am to 6pm.

Christmas in July is a Corporate Gift and Souvenir Initiative. Corporate gifting in Jamaica includes gifts at Christmas, gifts at conferences, tokens for promotional activities and much more.

Stay tuned for more.
