    The Sugar Mill, Montego Bay: An Evening of Celebration and Culinary Delight There are certain places that, through a blend of atmosphere, cuisine, and service, transform a special occasion into an unforgettable memory. My recent wedding celebration at The Sugar Mill in Montego Bay, held in the balmy glow of a Jamaican evening, was one such experience—imbued with warmth, elegance, and the spirit of true hospitality. Arriving as the sun dipped below the horizon, we were welcomed by a gracious hostess who set the tone for the night with her kindness and attention to detail. The historic Sugar Mill, with its softly lit gardens and gentle evening breezes, provided a magical setting for our gathering of loved ones following the church ceremony. Sharon, our server for the evening, was a paragon of professionalism and warmth. Her attentive yet unobtrusive service ensured our every need was met, and her genuine care made us feel truly celebrated. A delightful surprise came when Chef Christopher made a personal visit to our table, sharing his passion for local ingredients and the inspiration behind our meal. At the bar, the dynamic duo of Andrew and Marlon—affectionately known as “AM”—crafted cocktails with both skill and creativity. Their drinks, from classic rum concoctions to innovative new blends, added a festive spark to our celebration. Our meal was a highlight: generous portions, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavour. We savoured perfectly cooked salmon, succulent steak, and the most delicious sweet potatoes—each dish a testament to the Sugar Mill’s commitment to quality and local produce. Service throughout the evening was impeccable—attentive, discreet, and always with a smile. The staff’s dedication to making our celebration special was evident in every detail. As the evening unfolded, the atmosphere remained convivial and elegant, the perfect setting for heartfelt toasts and joyful conversation. In summary: The Sugar Mill delivered a flawless evening!

    Restaurant was beautiful with many outdoor tables. Perfect setting for a magical evening. The food is basic resort food in a different environment, ridiculously small portions and poorly executed cuisine &, very over priced. Service was sub par at best. Avoid this tourist trap at all cost. If the options are between your resort and this restaurant as a local dining option , stay on your resort. 2 people and a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc plus taxi was in excess of $350

    I was at Sugar mill restaurant to celebrate my birthday with two of my friends May 18th and I was so unhappy about the treatment from our waiter "Daniel". I really looked forward to this trip and made this reservation over a month ahead. Daniel was so unprofessional, unfriendly and had an attitude throughout our stay. We had to serve our own water and wine. When we asked about the birthday cake, He brought the cake without saying a word and dropped it in front of me with an attitude and when it was time to pay and he got upset because we asked about splitting the bill, he was rude and sighed loud. My friends and I left the restaurant feeling sad about the treatment we got. Although the chef was nice and friendly to us. I will not be going back and will definitely share my experience with others.

    Thank you to the Sugar Mill team, especially Ms. Shereen, for such a loving welcome for my grandmother as we celebrated her 100th birthday. My family will always remember the extraordinary, professional, and joyful reception of your whole staff who worked together to make this dinner memorable. Thank you so much, team. The food, the presentation, the singing and dancing were all so special. Thank you so much for having the chef, restaurant manager and staff come greet her; she felt like a star. We’re looking forward to dining with Sugar Mill again soon. Warm regards, Crystal.

    The backdrop of this place is stunning and super organic. Booked a 615 res and got to see the sunset. We were greeted promptly, and the hostess was very friendly. We were seated in the outdoor section which was great. The assortment of outdoor bugs posed an issue and we were never offered to switch seats but we made the best of it. The waitress was helpful and sweet and have some great suggestions for meals drinks and appetizers. Nice chefs touch we were presented with fresh bread and chefs house special dips - delicious. Chefs appetizer sample a cold smoked salmon bite with Wasabi cream - awesome. It was my best friends birthday and they came out with a chocolate cake to sing to her, then a desert sampler compliments of the chef - so beautiful and tasty. We had oxtail ravioli, jerk chicken rolls, and pork belly for apps, beef tenderloin with rum sauce, lemon creme jerk chicken, crayfish bisque, and sweet potatoes gnocchi. Dessert we shared coffee creme brulee and chocolate lava cake. All delicious. We had a total of 7 drinks between the 4 of us. A bit expensive and although we were only 4 gratuity was included. All in all a memorable night
