Brandt and Diane Williams at Spiritz of Montego Bay on Sunday, January 8, 2023.
What was to be Breakfast turned out to be an early Lunch based on our time of arrival for the second Sunday of the New Year at Spiritz of Montego Bay (Ig: @spiritz_of_montego_bay) on Rose Hall Boulevard.
Loved the view and relaxed ambience. I saw the proper setting for good Vibez during Sports events, busy Fridays and Weekend nights.
Since I missed out on the Ackee, I had no idea what to order, but was not feeling their Yaad Stylz items of Jerked Chicken, Curried Goat etc. at 11am. So I set my eyes on the Conch Burger and was disappointed when they didn’t have it. I went with a pulled Chicken Burger. Hubby, Randy and the Williamses had the Escovitched Fish Burger and Stew Pork.
The Burgers were basic. Definitely not a Gourmet experience, but satisfactory. I regret not choosing one of the Yaad Stylz options, because I aint gonna lie, the Stew Pork looked juicy! Mrs. Diane Williams enjoyed it.
Anyhow, service was decent and it was a good stop before Beach Day.
Have a Great Weekend Suga Fam!

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. #SugaSnaps & #SugaEndorsed.

Although it’s known that Miami has some of the best restaurants in South Florida, foodie & Suga Taster, Jehan was pleasantly surprised by her experience at Rusty Pelican from arrival to departure.
Suga Taster, Jehan’s Breakdown:
“The hostess was quick to check the reservation and seat the 5 of us as we arrived. Shortly after, our server Mike T. came over, introduced himself, provided our menus and took drink orders.
Rusty Pelican’s Old FashionedPassion of the SoulBlurred Lines
Mike T. was quite attentive as the evening progressed and even ensured to note any food-based allergies.
The Appetizers and Main courses did not disappoint!

They lacked dessert options though and the two ordered did not hit the sweet spot. The Sticky Toffee Pudding is a warmed Date Cake served with brown butter pecans and caramel ice cream. The warm Cafe con leche consisted of white chocolate, cuban coffee, and cookies & cream ice cream.

Looks and Sounds great eh? Sadly, the date cake was dry and dense and the Cafe con leche left a lot to be desired.
Despite the disappointing Dessert, the experience, Mains and cocktails were still great and I will definitely be back” ~Suga Taster, Jehan Knight.

With the upcoming lockdown weekends, I am happy my hubby, Randy and I didn’t put off visiting this hidden gem of a restaurant along Tower Isle, Ocho Rios two weeks ago.
The Rocks Restaurant & Bar, Villa Viento, Ocho Rios
The Rocks Restaurant & Bar is located on the seaside directly across from Harmony Hall and has breathtaking views, attentive staff and food done to order.
We enjoyed Escargot (could have been a bit spicier), Roast Chicken and quite a commendable Curry Goat. #SugaSnaps

It’s been a long time coming, but I finally got to revisit Seaside Dutchie over Independence weekend. The Service was even better and faster this time. The Appetizers were just as tasty and the Main was just as delicious. Value for money once again. I keep missing out on their Bread Pudding though!
Johnny Be Good ($700JMD) – Deep fried Johnny Cakes stuffed with Spicy Shrimp and Callaloo with Escovitched MayonnaiseSaltfish Fritters ($700JMD) – Priory crispy Conch FrittersRoasted Fish (Price based on the size of the Fish and served with your choice of sides)
Check out Seaside Dutchie’s current opening hours by giving them a call on the number below. They should be a must-stop whenever you are in St. Ann for some authentic Jamaican cuisine with their special twist or just some good seafood without a lengthy wait. Kudos to the Chef. Suga hopes to be back sooner and not later because Seaside Dutchie is still #SugaEndorsed. Cheers!
Piña Colada (It was iced versus creamy, but still tasty)

As Restaurants open up and we slowly get back to a new normal, this may be the last review for the series of ‘During Love in the Time of Corona’. Not to worry though, there is so much more to expect from Suga Lifestyle! Thanks so much for enjoying the series with me. So Suga had to add an outdoor, seaside dining experience to the series and of course, my Birthday escapades! I am still celebrating! Geminis rule!
Christopher’s at Hermosa Cove is not fully open as yet, but you can call ahead to set a time with Chef Conroy Arnold for the time you would like to visit. In the mean time, Chef Arnold a.k.a Stuttering Chef has been busy open fire cooking by the nearby, Broken Rudder Beach Bar and Grill!
Team Gandy (Gabby and Randy)’s Piña Colada and Hummingbird Blended Drinks from Broken Rudder
My hubby, Randy and I got to the beach early and we were all by ourselves. Hermosa Cove is quite a large property, so even though we knew other persons were there, they were far away. We had the Broken Rudder Beach Bar bring down Blended Drinks to us and by about 2pm we had our open fire cooked Pizzas!
Open fire cooked Chicken and Vegetable thin crust Pizza!
We had 8″ thin crust Pizzas with Chicken and Vegetables that we thoroughly enjoyed. You know Stuttering Chef is Farm to Table, so imagine freshly cooked Okra and Mushrooms on your Pizza, plus Carrot with a hint of sweetness and more! Stimulating.
When we decided to have drinks by the Bar itself, we saw a group of persons that were celebrating the Birthday of a young one. It was truly impressive to see how fast Stuttering Chef fired up their Burgers, Hot Dogs and other requests without a hitch. Efficiency at its best. The other members of staff were courteous and attentive as well.
The Broken Rudder Beach Bar and Grill at Hermosa Cove is open and ready for you to join them.
Team Gandy has reported that The Broken Rudder Beach Bar and Grill is #SugaEndorsed!
***It is recommended to call ahead though. Remember Social Distancing is still being observed.***
