It was nearly full on a Sunday afternoon, so service moved a little slowly, but the staff stayed friendly and attentive. Appetizers: - PEI Mussels - Mermaid Chowder Mains: - Shrimp Roll - Lobster Grilled Cheese Dessert: - New York-Style Cheesecake The seafood was fresh and generously portioned. My shrimp roll was light, tangy, and surprisingly plentiful, and the chowder had a hearty amount of clams--comforting without being overly heavy. The lobster grilled cheese was rich and indulgent in the best way. We finished with a classic cheesecake that rounded out the meal nicely. Overall, a satisfying experience and a lovely little spot for seafood in Oakville. Would happily return to explore more of the menu.

The service was outstanding, as was the ambiance, and most importantly the food. We got the crab cakes, lobster roll, oysters, and seafood stew. All of which were excellent!

Just finished having a late lunch here and boy was it great. I remembered hearing about it about a…read moreyear ago from a friend who works in the area. I happened to be driving by and spotted it as I drove past. I immediately did a u-turn as I was hungry and it looked quick and easy. This place is cash only so I placed my order and headed to the nearby royal bank. By the time I got back it was ready. I started putting my condiments on and accidently knocked my fish and was able to save half, the other half hitting the ground. I was disappointed to say the least. I sat down at one of the picnic tables in the shade and started to enjoy my meal. The fish is dynamite, crunchy and light. Some of the best I ever had. I was about finished my meal when Sammy called me over to tell me he had put another piece of fish on for me at no charge because of what happened. I will remind you this was my fault. This was above and beyond great service. I suggest checking this place out quick. He is here in the summer only I think. I will bringing my wife and kids here in the near future.

The fries are some of the best I've EVER had and that's a big deal for me to say because fries are one of my favourite treats and when it comes to them, I am VERY picky.

With fries like that I bet it would be out of this world. We always get takeout and and they often have specials. So..... great food, great value, happy customer. Are they serving poutine yet? .... How about now?

Last time I had the same & it was delicious! They missed the mushroom sauce all together & the schnitzel was burnt on one side!? This is one of the main components of this meal, the sauce! It's the "Jagar" in "Jagerschnitzel"! The veggies were undercooked & the potatoes were cold. Our server "Alyssa" was very nice but she totally dropped the ball for our table. Missed ingredients, cold potatoes. Not good. A server is supposed to be the last line of defence between the kitchen & a bad meal. This was a bad meal & our server didn't catch it. I have to say that I'll reconsider before I drive 70 Km'a return to go there again.

When I inquired with the service staff about a realistic wait time, I was met with indifference; they seemed unsure and continued to seat new customers despite the chaos. After waiting for 40 minutes, I decided it was time to leave. My rating of 1 out of 5 reflects the poor service I experienced--this situation could have been managed much more effectively. I ended up ordering from Kelsey's afterward, and they had my meal ready in just 15 minutes. Unfortunately, Halibut House, you've lost a customer for good.
