Never been to Stonehouse. I didnt go to Stonehouse cos theres been so many bad reports about it on here, but there are several people who have been and had no complaints at all.
Like you OAP, I dont rate Mermaid.

I thought that Mermaid was pretty good although SWMBO didn't like her meal there.
Stonhouse can be good depending on what you have and the music is generally good, but the service is appalling.
I think that my all round favourite is Flambe, never had a bad meal there.

For me :-
Aye's.
Casa Sea Shell
Bistro
Flambe
Floyd's (Both of them)
Nay's
Mermaid
Bom Successo
Sea Shell (no tandoori)
J21 Sports Bar.
Ok it's not in Candolim, but really should give Allspice in Arpora a try.
The Ritz in Panjim beats the Dehli Durbar hands down.

Never tried Flambe either, but read lots of good reports about it in here. Whereabouts in Candolim is it please?
Thanks for the directions to Kalinga, Vodkasundae. Iv'e noticed that the Mermaid seems to be getting some bad reports this season. Anyone know what's happened? Have the owners changed? Everyone used to rave about it. We went a few times last year & the year before and loved it. Especialy the dime cheescake mmmmm! 
Flambe is on the left heading towards the kingfisher mansion from Candolim centre.
A reasonable walk from the Phoenix park, guessing about half a mile.

Thanks Del I know exactly where you mean. Will need to give it a try in March 
I was concerned to read a while ago that Ice and Spice was now L'Orange, and wondered how we would find Sanjay and Sandish if they had moved to new premises (didn't have their number) anyway on arriving in Goa and travelling to Candolim in the taxi from the airport at 8am we found Ice N Spice by chance on the panjim road, i promised the guys at the bar that i would put a post up to let everyone know where they had moved to. They now have a bigger bar and the food is excellent, the pool table is still the same one they have had for years. 
They had to move as the owner of the land where they use to be wanted to put his own restaurant/bar there.
Anyway you will find Ice N Spice at the main junction opposite Casa Sea Shells just about 100 yards on the left just opposite the temple. Please go and see the guys there they are lovely.

Can't agree more. We used to go to the old place and this last time went to see them at the new place (for those who know Candolim they're now in the place that 2 years ago was the Moonlight garden). Spent a few nights there. I've always rated the food at ice n spice. Never had a bad meal there. Don't rate the pool table though....it still slopes to one side. Lovely ambience and lovely lads working there.
Might be wrong - but I went last year and is it not a bit pricey - or did I have my ruppee head on.
if it's early march we may see you there.
Never found it pricey. If anything I'd have said pretty cheap or at least on a par with most other places. They do the best Rogan Josh I ever had.
I agree the best rogan josh I have ever had. Hubby loved the crispy Chicken & Beef hugh portion for a starter. Also the toilets are 100 times better than at the last place.

But do they still have to go out and buy if you want a bottle of wine?
We passed ice & spice a few times in november and not onced in 3 weeks did we ever see anyone in it ..it looked nice to so i will go in and give it a try in march and let you all know what I think ...colleen
That would be great Del. We arrive 10 March. What dates are you there?
We passed it a few times also as we also stayed in the Prazeres Colleen, didn't you just hate that walk down that dark lane to the main road? 
never seen anyone in there either so on one of our last nights feeling a bit sorry for them as they had waved to us a few times 
we dropped in for a nightcap it was very comfortable, nice chairs with cushions on , really hate them plastic chairs, very helpful lads and yes Del they never had wine for the ladies so they made do with breezers 
we told them we would pop in in February I hope business picks up for them by then, Allan.
