I went here today for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. Walked into the restaurant and stood awkwardly for a second before I saw the sign that said "seat yourselves" and so I walked over to a booth. What other reviewers say are correct. The booths are not nailed to the ground so they move when people behind you get up from their table.
Anyways - I ordered the Haddock and Chips special which was... $6!! I even had to ask the waitress if it was a smaller portion and she said that it was a regular portion sized, just a special. I think the regular price is $8.95 so for $6 that was a great deal! The wait staff here are very friendly. Everyone smiles a lot. They are visibly busy serving tables and it took a few minutes for a waitress to approach my table but when she did she was super bubbly and in general gave off a great vibe.
I also ordered a large Greek salad and here is where I will say that there is room for improvement. When I think of Greek salad I think cubes of cucumber, tomato, olives, feta, red onions. Well we got a bit of that but basically it was just a salad of ice berg lettuce and a couple of olives from a can, some slices of tomatoes, and some feta. It was $5 which is a decent value and the salad is enough to feed 2 people but I wouldnt get the salad again next time. It just wasnt really Greek. I feel like I paid $5 for lettuce.
When the Haddock & Chips arrived I was pleasantly surprised to find that the portions were very generous. A very large piece of haddock and lots of great fries. Whether these fries were hand cut or came out of a bag didnt really matter much. The important thing was that they tasted fresh. I drenched all of my fries in the malt vinegar provided on the table and used maybe 7 or 8 packages of tartar sauce. I loved that they were easily available on the table and I didnt have to ask for it. Unlike Blue Nose just down the street, Halibut House doesnt charge you extra for tartar sauce.
The haddock itself could have been better. I'm not sure if it was just mine but my piece of Haddock was pretty thin. The batter around it made it look plump and thick but when I cut into it I was a bit disappointed to find how thin it was. It was still tasty but I think it was a matter of the piece I got and not the norm.
Water wasnt refilled but I didnt really finish my glass until the very end of the meal so it didnt really matter much. I would definitely go back to sample some of their other menu items and for sure Id go back on a Sunday or Monday for their $6 special. A meal well worth the price.
