Original Halibuts

Bartender from Hell. Your review Bartender from Hell ‎ - ‎ - Today I went to Halibuts last weekend with a couple of friends. The food was actually very good and they also had a great band playing that night. The entire experience was ruined by a staff member there that called herself the "lead bartender." At first she seemed like a normal, yet slightly indifferent, bartender/server (she also took our order). However, when a friend and I went to pay we noticed that our entire credit card number was on the receipt instead of the last four digits, when we asked her about this she proceeded to tell us that she didn't like our attitudes from the beginning and even if we scratch out the numbers on our receipts (which I was doing at the time) she can just print out another one and have our entire number again if she wanted. When we told her we would not be coming back she said she didn't want to see our F-ing faces in there again anyway. I have never been treated like this in any business establishment and am shocked that a person of this caliber was made "lead" anything. I will NEVER return to Halibuts and will tell anyone that asks that the food is not worth putting up with the staff!!!!…

Perfect fish, perfect fries, and I love the cocktail sauce. Went on a Tuesday with a co-worker for lunch, it was the only place I could find chowder not on a Friday....neighborhood was quaint, I loved the relaxed but nicely decorated vibe, medium sized place was cozy. Service was quick, friendly, and the recommendations were spot-on. My friend had the chowder (excellent and scalding hot) and I had halibut and fries. Came with fresh lemon, great tartar (dill, not sweet) and a side of cocktail sauce that was so perfectly spicy with horseradish (and I wonder if there was a pinch of wasabi?) that it made me add a shrimp cocktail to my order. Oh, the fries were really crispy, and thick-cut at the same time. Super good. I don't know why everyone complaining about prices, I went on CitySearch and looked at several places seafood prices, and all were comparable. Seafood is expensive. If you want beef or chicken, go elsewhere. I was 100% satisfied with my order, the atmosphere, and yes, the "overbearing, cynical, brash owner" was there and served us, which was a nice touch, by a nice gentleman. Some of those 2 year old reviews need to be taken with a grain of salt. Seasoned, prefer…

Great Prawns & Chips.. The place has great prawns and great long island iced tea. Great blues music. Although the interiors can use some remodeling or buffing up. It is somewhat dark and it does not look that clean. Maybe change the paint and the flooring.…
