"We booked this restaurant for our Wedding Anniversary dinner after reading the complementary reviews. Having sat down we ordered drinks and perused the menu and surprised that they didn’t offer a set menu, which is first for me eating in a Thai restaurant, not that we would of ordered it but it would have been nice to have the choice. We went for the mixed platter starter for 2, Chicken pad Thai, crispy chilli beef, prawn Pad king and Thai fragrant rice for mains. The mixed platter for 2 was delicious although clearing the plates away whilst I was still eating my last mouthful was inappropriate. On eating the main course I found a small inedible item in my mouth which I initially thought was a filling as it was metal however on checking this was not the case so it had to be in one of the dishes. During our main course we was not asked how our meal was so I advised my findings when we finished to be told it wasn’t metal but a burnt piece of the crispy chilli beef which was laughable and insulting. As it was our anniversary dinner I did not pursue this further. We ordered 2 Irish Coffees to finish which were very bitter as there was no sugar added and the cream was out of a can and not poured over the back of a spoon as it should be. We got the bill £99 including service and left. Our booking was for 7 o’clock and we left at 8.10. This was supposed to be a lovely, un rushed celebratory evening eating great food however it was a rushed, service less experience with average at best food. The Salah Thai in Ware is far superior in all aspects which we will go to for our next Thai meal and not here. Thank you Old Siam for ruining our Wedding Anniversary!"
