Houston Avenue Bar & Grill, Barrie

Staff did not understand the Groupon offer. When the bill came, they took the $139 that I already paid for the coupon off the bill, meaning that I really did not get a deal and was now being charged more than I should be. When I inquired why I was being overcharged and why the Chicken Oscar my son and I received was not the same as the menu stated, I was told by the manager that the kitchen made a mistake. (I was chrged extra for the Shrimp Skewer that was supposed to be included, and the two pieces of chicked turned out to be a half a chicken breast cut in two). The coupon was supposed to save me 50% , but in the end, I free appetizer might be all that we received. Overall, it was a dissapointing experience and I did not feel we received the value that we were supposed to receive.

The groupon cost more than the value of the same set menu for Mother's Day for 2 by $10. Now Houston's has a 3 course meal (two of same apps, 6 instead of 9 Oz steak, same desert) for $15 PLUS a 6 Oz glass of wine!!! Brutal! Ripped off!

poor value for the cost of the coupon

Is this place a sports bar or a nice restaurant?
