THE EMBERS

Corner of Bentinck and Prince Streets, Sydney


Entrance to the restaurant

Anne C's meal - notice all the items arrive in their own dishes.

This is the pulled pork dish.

This is the beef brisket with mac'n cheese.
Six of us spent a very enjoyable time at this new restaurant in downtown Sydney.  As you can see, it is located in the back of the old Crowell's Building, with the entrance on Prince Street. It's a bit different - let me tell you why.  Can you see people lined up to the left in the picture above? Well, when you go in this door, you immediately line up to order your food and to pay the bill. Then you go and sit down and your meal is delivered to your table. The line-up is the longest part as the food is delivered very quickly once you have ordered.  Unfortunately, the line-up is also for take-out orders, but we're hoping they change that.
I made this larger so you can read the menu - I can tell you that the sweet & mild sauce was fabulous.

No desserts available yet, sad to say.
We really enjoyed this spot, but it will be even better when the last of their equipment arrives and they have more fridges and more cash registers.  They told us that they didn't expect to be so busy!

    It took me a very long time to visualise just where this eatery is located....

    Why no photographs of ravenous UAG diners?

      Hi Stephen:
      We have made a point of not photographing the Group, but you will see lots of other photos. Hope you can join us sometime - it's a wonderful evening.

Italian Buffet, Polish Hall, Whitney Pier, Again

Image
      For the third year in a row, the UAG met up at St. Michael's Polish Hall in the Pier for the Italian buffet, part of the annual celebration entitled "Pierscape." Money raised from the buffet goes to the Whitney Pier Society for the Arts and judging by the number of people at the buffet, it's an excellent fundraiser.       Everything that I wrote last year (see May 2016) applies again this year. We have gained a couple of UAG members in the last few months, so it was their first time attending the buffet. However, they had heard about the selection of Italian dishes and the home-made eclairs! And since it was the same cook, may God continue to bless Kay, the food was delicious once again - our new members were not disappointed. Furthermore, the members of UAG were not quite so shy this year.  When Kay told us that she didn't want to see any food left on the buffet table, several of us filled up plates to take home with us. Imagine, we will each have an Itali

Point of View Beggars' Banquet

15 Commercial Street Extension, Louisbourg For our August outing, a group of ten UAG members headed to the Point of View Suites in Louisbourg for an evening of music, skits and large platters of delicious food. It was a wonderful evening! Thanks to Meg for providing these images: Everyone has to get in to costume before dinner! So much music and laughter! Everyone enjoyed their meal selections. And yes, there was even lobster! This outing was a tremendous success and will definitely be on our To-Do List for 2018!

Governors Pub & Eatery - not.

Image
Governors on the Esplanade, Sydney This month's outing was supposed to be to Governors on the Esplanade - Governors has a wonderful reputation and we were all keen to try the menu. Unfortunately, the person who took our booking did not write it down, despite my giving her all of my personal information, along with the date and time of the booking.  So there was no room for us at the pub - what's a group of food adventurers to do on a busy Friday night in downtown Sydney? A quick phone call was made to Trio Restaurant & Lounge, just a five-minute walk down the Esplanade, where the very efficient Troy the Bartender, assured us that he'd look after us. And he did! He sat us at a lovely table in the lounge where we relaxed, ordered drinks and enjoyed our main entrées. The Special of the evening was Prime Rib with Yorkshire Pudding and did it ever look wonderful! While we reviewed the dessert menu, our teas arrived...and there is something quite special about tea i
