The first thing I thought as I stepped out onto world famous terrazzo full of rich Northern Beaches socialites dressed in fresh pastel colours was shit, I wish I wore a bra.
It was a bright Sunday morning and Mr P.S thought it would be a good idea to whisk me away to a surprise destination for brunch.
I threw on a thick knit jumper and a pair of blue jeans, my black hair tossed and tasseled from a night of romping rom cons (Orange is the New Black is currently at the top of my list).
Sans bra and make up I jumped into his sleek convertible, hungry for some great banter and bacon...
True to his mysterious ways Mr P.S chose to disclose nothing about where we were heading and therefore I assumed we would only be traveling up the road to our local joint.
50 minutes later.
“Champagne?" Asked the hostess politely. Her perfectly pressed white servers shirt and immaculate nude manicure intimated me.
“No, coffee is fine” I said giving Mr P.S the eyes.
“Coffee and then champagne” he said cheekily placing his hand on my leg.
Mr. P.S isn’t my usual type. Yet I find him simply intoxicating and mystifying. P.S is something that you put at the end of a letter, Mr P.S is someone I look forward to at the end of my day.
He adds that extra element of excitement to my new career girl life, without taking anything away. Outings with him are always fun and spontaneous, most of which take place late at night or on the weekends. But this blog post isn’t about him, it’s about something else, a big name who attracts more super models and Sydney socialites than any B grade celebrity. Without further a due I introduce to you...Jonah. One of the top 10 places you have to visit before you die.
My advice to you - bypass the formal dining area to the spectacular cliff hanging balcony...and dress like you're Grace Kelly lazing by a pool in Monaco not like a14 year old boy who's just thrown on a jumper, jeans and some old boots at mums request. I did not get that memo (thanks Mr P.S).
No matter who you are or what you wear the first time you visit Jonah's I promise you'll be in awe of this heavenly oasis and the beautiful people who inhabit it on a sunny day.
We sipped our coffee's slowly while admiring the view and ease dropping on other people's conversations. Before we knew it two glasses of champagne arrived at our table, tiny bubbles dancing in the sun light.
After we finished our drinks and a couple of chicken bacon baguettes we decided it was time to take our little party down to the garden. As soon as we sat down on the two white sun chairs we were greeted by yet another friendly member of Jonah's wait staff.
"Why not try every damn beverage in this joint?" I said to Mr P.S, slipping comfortably into the roll of Queen of the world.
Your wish is my command.
Secretly battling with the urge to go to the bathroom I sipped my glass of wine and listened to Mr P.S talk about his past, something he did with a great sense of caution. I knew it wasn't because he had something to hide but rather because he preferred to live in the moment. I don't think I have ever dated someone as perceptive as him, Mr P.S's intense green eyes always seemed to be on me and at the slightest sign of trepidation on my face he would always ask if I were ok.
Of course the answer would always be yes and I would often wonder how I could be anything less than 100% in his presence.
The next thing we knew it was late afternoon and the warmth formally being generated by a bottle of red was beginning to wear off.
"Would you like a blanket?" a young girl asked promptly.
Would we ever...
Blanket tick, wine tick, exclusive seating tick, view tick, great company tick tick tick! The only thing that was missing was something to nibble on. Low and behold Jonah's serves food all day with plenty of delicious things to pick from. As we'd already demolished chicken bacon baguettes Mr P.S decided to order us something lighter...
Followed by something simply decadent.
After spending the entire day at Jonah's I now understand what all the hype is about. Everything from the friendly and attentive service to the magnificent views of Whale Beach is unlike anything I have ever experienced before. I believe that above everything what makes Jonah's truly great is the attention to detail. Everything from the blankets on request to the cufflinks on the servers shirts is undeniably refined, which makes everyone who walks in the door (even those wild braless folk) feel like royalty.
I highly suggest you escape to Palm Beach and visit Jonah's next time you're looking to escape the city! You won't regret it. Reservation are required for in door dining but don't fret if you haven't booked, you can hang outside on the lounges like we did for as long as your heart desires. For those of you who are cashed up why not stay the night in one of Jonah's exclusive rooms? That is definitely going on my bucket list.
As for Mr P.S well he scored some very big points for introducing me to this little piece of heaven on earth. Next week it's my choice where we go. I can choose anywhere. Anywhere! Where would i most like to go in all of NSW? Well that's easy. Let me give you a hint: I will not only have to wear a bra but a harness as well ;)
Exciting times ahead...
Until then lovers!
