Restaurant Review: MATCH Eatery and Public House Dessert

  i was gifted the opportunity to try MATCH in exchange for an honest review.
Wouldn’t it be nice to leave the country to grab dessert? I thought so too, and my boyfriend agreed that’s why Saturday we left the United States to grab dessert in Point Edward, Ontario, Canada. One of the neat things about living in the Metro Detroit area is it takes the same amount of time for us to get to Detroit as it does to get to Canada. Even though Canada is close this was the first time I have ever crossed the Blue Water Bridge, and the first time I have ever visited Point Edward (Sarnia) – let alone just left the country for dessert!
We headed to MATCH Eatery &Public House which is attached to the Casino in Sarnia. The restaurant overlooks the St. Clair River, and gives you the opportunity to dine inside or outside. The outdoor patio is gorgeous, and features a bar area, fire pits and comfortable seating so you can grab a drink, enjoy dinner, dessert and more while you watch ships and freighters go by.

Now lets talk about our desserts.
Our waitress told us the Sticky Toffee was her absolute favorite, it sounded amazing so we went with it. We were definitely not let down. The combinations of flavors were perfect, and after seeing us with the dessert multiple tables around us ordered it as well.

We also tried the Blueberry Key-Lime Jar, which was on their seasonal menu (my boyfriend loves key lime and I do not, otherwise we would of shared dessert). Of course, even though I don’t like key lime I was curious to see how theirs tasted. First let me remind you I do not care for key lime AT ALL, and I absolutely LOVED this dessert. If you end up going to MATCH while it is still on the menu, I highly recommend giving it a try, trust me, you will not be disappointed at all.

Make sure you stay late enough to catch a gorgeous sunset, like we did. If you’re craving some good food and gorgeous views I highly recommend checking out MATCH Eatery & Public House– in fact you’ll probably see us there since it’s now one of our new favorite restaurants.

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. From pumpkin patches, hayrides, pumpkin flavored everything, fall foliage drives, cider mills, I could go on and on. One activity that is always on my fall to-do list is apple picking with my mum, so on Saturday we headed to a local orchard and each picked a half-bushel of apples. What is your favorite fall activity?

There’s a crispness in the air, the leaves are beginning to change colors and temperatures are starting to dip down near freezing at night – fall has officially arrived. Fall tends to fly by quicker than summer, so in an effort to do all the things I would like to I always make a fall to-list. While my list in mainly made up of traditional favorites (apple picking with my mum), there are always new additions to my list. Here is what I have on my fall to-list this year… what’s on yours?

Fall To-Do List
Go apple picking at a local orchard
Take a fall foliage drive
Visit a cider mill (Yates is my favorite)
Carve pumpkins
Get lost in a corn maze
Bundle up by a beach bonfire
Bake an apple pie
Make homemade apple sauce
Go for a fall boat ride
Have a scary-movie date
Volunteer at a soup kitchen
Discover a new dark nail polish
Enjoy hot chocolate under the stars
Spend a weekend at a cabin in the woods
Take a hike
Donate to a local food bank
Snuggle by a fire
Get spooked at a haunted house
Experiment with bold lip colors

Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes. How do you measure, measure a year. Hop online this Sunday to get your tickets to see RENT and you\’ll find out! You have no idea how excited I am for RENT to return to the Fisher Theatre early next year!

 

The producers of the RENT 20th Anniversary Tour announced today that tickets for the Detroit engagement, January 8 – 20 at the Fisher Theatre, will go on sale Sunday, September 23.  Tickets start at $39 and can be purchased online at http://www.broadwayindetroit.com or http://www.ticketmaster.com, or by phone at 800-982-2787.

In 1996, an original rock musical by a little-known composer opened on Broadway… and forever changed the landscape of American theatre. Two decades later, Jonathan Larson’s RENT continues to speak loudly and defiantly to audiences across generations and all over the world. And now, this Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award®-winning masterpiece returns to the stage in a vibrant 20th anniversary touring production. A re-imagining of Puccini\’s La Bohème, RENT follows an unforgettable year in the lives of seven artists struggling to follow their dreams without selling out. With its inspiring message of joy and hope in the face of fear, this timeless celebration of friendship and creativity reminds us to measure our lives with the only thing that truly matters—love.  
 
The show received its world premiere off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop on February 13, 1996 to ecstatic reviews and transferred to Broadway on April 29, 1996. RENT is winner of the 1996 Tony Award for Best Musical as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It is one of only five musicals to win both awards.
 
Based on the original direction by Michael Greif (Tony and Drama Desk Nominations, RENT), Evan Ensign will restage this 20th anniversary tour.  Marlies Yearby (Tony Nomination, RENT) will serve as choreographer.
 
The RENT 20th Anniversary Tour is produced by Work Light Productions, whose other touring productions include Cinderella, MAMMA MIA!, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, Vocalosity, and Crazy For You.
