Where are you dining this weekend? It’s our first Post Covid Christmas and everyone is busy, out and about!
My Christmas dining experience was made when one of our Faves, Summerhouse located in Harmony Hall, Ocho Rios came to Kingston last weekend with a Yuletide Grill Prix Fixe Menu at 10 West Kings House Road.
With visiting Chef Bill Clark (Ig: @frombilClark) joining them in the kitchen, Appetizers and mains rolled out in a timely manner and service was excellent, as Beverages flowed as well.
Ordering their Saltfish Fritters was a must! They are like dumplings! Their Smoked Marlin Dip with homemade chips, a treat as well.
Their Charred Drunken Beef was perfection and indeed left me with a drunken feeling of satisfaction all evening.
Hubby, Randy enjoyed the Grilled Lobster with scotch bonnet sambal, coconut, saffron and turmeric. I meaaan, when he hardly wants to give me a 2nd bite, you know it’s fantastic.
The sides of Kale and Roast Pumpkin salads were absolutely delightful. Not sure how the misfit of Fries emerged, but looks like we missed out on the Holiday Fattoush Crispy Bread. We had no space for it anyhow.
A mouthwatering Brownie with a taste of Coffee Ice cream was the Finale to our feast and a fabulous Sunday leading up to Christmas.

The Courthouse Gallery and Café is a stop that’s worth it for a simple Breakfast or Lunch in Ocho Rios with adequate parking and good service.
I had the tasty smoked Marlin Bagel and my hubby, Randy enjoyed the recommended Toasted Ciabatta with Eggs.

Suga’s Comments:
Cafe Etal, one of the additions to the fairly new Knutsord Express Terminal Building in Drax Hall, Ocho Rios is not only a convenient stop, but a comfy stop.
You can choose to sit indoors or outdoors with a view of the greenery and road above the Café, while you stop for Breakfast or Lunch and Coffee your way.
We were welcomed pleasantly and received great service.
We had Eggs over easy with French Toast, Bacon and Chicken sausage with Coffee. I had a customized, skinny Frappé. They had almond milk and splenda to substitute their milk and sweeteners. No whipped cream.
Persons who take the Knutsford can order before the bus makes a quick stop or drop off there. The Café and facilities are clean, the menu has a variety of affordable options and the food is tasty. Check out Cafe Etal today. #SugaEndorsed

Suga’s Comments:Â
We visited Ciao Bella Art Cafe (Ig: @ciaobellaartcafe) on Easter Sunday in Taj Mahal Plaza, Ocho Rios, where my beloved Mama Marley’s used to be.
The service was up to par, the staff were pleasant and we enjoyed our Italian staples of choice, Bruschetta, Pizza & Pasta in their cosy ambience.
The Pizza lacked a bit of authenticity for me though. I prefer Pizza from a Wood Fire oven and the use of more fresh garlic and herbs for flavour.
Delightful experience with more than satisfactory servings nonetheless. Value for money.
🇮🇹Fresh Mushroom & Goat Cheese Bruschetta + 24 Karat Global Beer
🇮🇹Proscuitto Pizza (medium) with cured Italian Ham, Arugula, Mozzarella & Marinara sauce + Da Luca Prosecco
🇮🇹Puttanesca with house made Marinara sauce, anchovies, olives, capers and parsley
Did you know?! 👀
Puttanesca is an easy sauce, briefly cooked, very fragrant & spicy. Puttanesca translates as “in the style of the whore.â€Â The name derives from the Italian word ‘puttana’, which means whore. Google this odd sauce history!

It’s been almost a year since Suga has visited PG’s, but a trip there is overdue.
Chef Pierluigi Ricci’s hospitality and polite, professional staff is bar none. Their wine selection is top-notch to accompany the variety of delectable, authentic Italian dishes available.
Remember that PG’s used to be Toscanini at Harmony Hall. But now, it is a bit of a hidden gem along Tower Isle. If you drive slowly enough, you’ll be sure to see it or just give them a call! With Covid restrictions, opening hours frequently change, so reservations are recommended.
PG’s may not be as active or picturesque on social media, but please remember to support our best Restaurants so that we can move forward with them during and after Covid.

The Neptune’s Shrimp Surf & Turf with Chargrilled Boston cut Striploin Steak, Shrimp Skewer, mashed potatoes, sautéed vegetables and garlic butter was divine! Tender, juicy and well seasoned. Kudos to Chef Viv!
Dinner was spectacular from the start with their Seafood Salad, Assorted Meze including Octopus, Prawns and more, Ceviche, the mains with Surf & Turf, Lamb, Swordfish Steak, Pastas and more, topped off with Baklava and Ice Cream for the finale. My family cleaned up!
The Neptune’s at Beaches Resorts
always delivers! Especially when they used to have booths at various festivals and events.
They maintained great service when the hotel was fully booked and understaffed. Bravo.
