Trio, Cambridge Suites


Our last outing of 2017 was to Trio, located in the Cambridge Suites on the Esplanade in Sydney. This was actually our fourth visit to Trio as a group and our second visit during the holidays.  Do take a moment and search "Trio" on our Blog for our earlier postings as we have always enjoyed our visits to this restaurant.

The lobby was beautifully decorated with several Christmas trees and lots of Christmas lights for those who were waiting to enter the restaurant or perhaps checking in to the hotel.

We were greeted at the front of the restaurant by a friendly team of people who warmed my heart immediately by calling me "Miss"!

When we were seated at our dining table, we all noticed that the decorations were exactly the same as last year's; it was wonderful that we could enjoy them all over again.

In fact, several of the group purchased lit trees just like the ones on our table after our dinner last year!

Each of us was pleased with our selection of main entrees, from fish to pasta. Again, the tea was delicious. The staff was very attentive, ensuring that we had lots of milk for our tea and extra cutlery for those of us who were sharing desserts.  Our server even rushed our bills for the two of us that had to leave early. All of this in a fully booked restaurant! As we've said before, the staff at Trio is exceptional.


There were 9 of us seated around the dining table and we all raised our glasses to salute the last of 2017.  What a wonderful year of UAG adventures!

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

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
