The Sugar Club

Eddie and I pride ourselves on being able to take pretty exotic vacations for next to nothing. One way we do that is by buying food in the grocery and cook it ourselves. We have been in Antigua for 11 days and have eaten out only twice now.

By recommendation, we heard that a restaurant called The Sugar Club across the way from Jolly Beach has two for one steak dinners on Wednesday nights. So we asked ourselves, "How good can a two for one steak really be?" We decided to make a go of it and find out.

Upon arriving at Sugar Club, we were absolutely amazed. The property is beautiful...very tastefully done. White marble floors in the entrance, dark wood floors in the restaurant, and trim to match. The building itself is a plantation style with big doors all around that open to allow the trade winds to blow through.  One side overlooks some of Jolly Harbour Beach and the other side of the building overlooks the intimate pool. We were impressed upon arrival.

We went for it...purchasing the two for one steaks. Two 10 oz steaks New York Strip steaks, cut Manhattan style for $27. The food and drink manager explained to us that the Manhattan style cut of meat is much thicker and maintains its juiciness very well. The steaks were served with garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus spears, fried onion garnishes all topped with a red wine reduction sauce. Fancy!

Everything on my plate was delicious and well worth the money we paid. We even splurged on a bottle of Australian red wine.

The evening was awesome. Thanks to Eddie for taking me out to dinner...it was a memorable part of our Antiguan Vacation!
