The New Embers Restaurant

191 Charlotte Street, Sydney Not expected to be in business much longer In the old Fred's Creamery Location The UAG made its way to downtown Sydney this evening for our September outing. Traffic was extremely busy, but there was lots of parking on Charlotte Street; in fact, we should have known there was a problem when even the member who arrived late was able to park right in front of the restaurant. Ah yes, if only we had known what awaited us. Let me take you through our dining experience, which was one of the most bizarre in our two-year history of dining-out. This new Embers restaurant is designed to resemble a jazz bar, with tables placed at the front of the restaurant and the bar, kitchen and restrooms at the back. We know it's jazz because one of the television screens has a static notice telling us that jazz is playing. The other television screens all show weather data, which never changes and which appears to be someone's computer screen.

Fitzgerald's Restaurant

PO Box 1607 Bras d'Or, Highway 105, Cape Breton (Sydney side of the Seal Island Bridge) View of Fitzgerald's from the parking lot This month, a small convoy of UAG members drove up Highway 105 almost as far as the Seal Island Bridge to Fitzgerald's Restaurant. This restaurant has had several owners in the past, so if you aren't familiar with this name, it's located across the street from the log house. One person asked if it was the white building? I said "yes" - here's hoping they never change the colour of the restaurant or move the log house. The log house across the street from Fitzgerald's Fitzgerald's sign There is a sign down by the highway to alert you to the location of the restaurant - this is the first in a series of restaurants in the area and the owners are keen that you don't miss out on their fresh homemade food. If you are travelling, please note that there is also a motel right next door that
