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!

COMMUNICATE with staff often, keeping all updated, equipping them with info and authority to say yes more to certain scenarios, show initiative, letting us know that you are willing to go the extra mile. Be present or available if they are not sure and need to check with you.

RESPECTFUL TREATMENT is important, especially to RUDE CUSTOMERS
