Hi We have used two Groupon vouchers here. The first was some months ago and that was fine. However, two weeks ago, we went on a Sunday night. The restaurant was not busy at eight o'clock, the time we had been told to come. We sat near another couple, also using a voucher. Whilst we waited ages for service, we were entertained by the ants crawling up the wall and onto the table of the other couple. They pointed out the ants to the waiter but he wasn't interested. We had the mixed platter for starters which was sub-standard and not worth what we were paying, let alone the full menu price. We had two different curries for mains, with rice. There were tiny bits of meat swimming in watery sauce; quite the worst Thai meal I have ever eaten. We were only served the one TINY dish of rice, rather than the two different ones we ordered. The waiter was nowhere to be seen when I wanted to ask for the other. Indeed, I think there were probably not more than two or three staff in the place, including in the kitchen! The other couple were disgusted, having a similar experience (apart from the extra protein). All in all, it was a poor experience, poor value for money - even at what we paid with the Groupon. We had enjoyed it before. I had noticed, over a period of time, that this restaurant was putting discounted meals on several voucher sites. It would appear that they are not using this to increase long term customers, getting people in to show off their restaurant in the hope they will come again. Rather, they seem to be taking the money and running. Perhaps they are about to retire. Perhaps they should. You can have a bad experience at any restaurant at some time, of course you can, but this was the worst meal we have ever had and I would strongly advise against using vouchers here.

Thanks all - going to be busy checking all these out!

Thanks for your thoughts everybody. Appreciate it. Hoob

Thanks everybody for all your ideas. Hoob

Thank you for that. We actually haven't tried tapas - hence the enquiry - we thought we would give it a go. Thanks for your trouble. Hoob

Great. Thanks for your trouble. Cheers Stev

Oh well. Thanks for that.

Thanks for you trouble. Will have a look at those. Hoob

Thanks very much for the trouble you took. That's great. I think I know where to get a voucher so we'll give that a go.

Thanks again for taking the time to reply. Will check them out. Hoob

Hi Will soon be coming to Sheffield and I wondered if anyone knew of any places that sell old and interesting bits of furniture and household stuff that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Thanks Hoob

Hi Are there any good Italian restaurants that don't break the bank in Sheffield? Cheers Hoob

Hi. Anyone know of a fairly cheap agp card that will run games a few years old like Half Life 2. Cheers Hoobidood
