Trio, Cambridge Suites

Trio Restaurant, Cambridge Suites, 380 Esplanade, Sydney

The last outing of 2016 took us to Trio on the Esplanade; there were eight of us who celebrated the end of a wonderful year of dining out.  Trio is the exception to the rule! It is a restaurant in a hotel that doesn't serve hotel food; it has been closed - it has been renovated and each time, it's more comfortable; the chef changes and the food retains their high standards and even with reduced hours, people will still line up for a seat.

There are no pictures with this posting, dear readers, as Yours Truly enjoyed a glass of wine with friends. Members of the group enjoyed cocktails, a wide variety of flavourful dishes including pasta, lamb, fish and chicken - we ended our evening with selections from a lovely dessert menu. And all of this while sitting in a dining room decorated beautifully for Christmas and while listening to a variety of Christmas music and light pop music that brought back fun memories.

Of course, our readers will want to know what we thought of the tea service. And again, Trio was exceptional. Not only was the tea delicious with a small pitcher of milk on the table, but they had heated the tea cups. They actually make the perfect cup of Cape Breton tea.

What a wonderful evening!

And so that brings us to the end of yet another year of adventures - my thanks go out to all of the UAG for sharing in these road trips. Merry Christmas to you all and here's to more adventures in 2017!

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.

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
