I always liked here but today I felt a microagression and believe you me I DO NOT live with a chip on my shoulder.I noticed costumers who do not look like me were requesting for their bill or their plates were taken away and they were able to enjoy the rest of their drink.I finished my plate and the lady immediately put my receipt on the table and asked if I wanted more hot water (to play it off). The bill was 22 dollars (cheap)! She did not ask if I wanted desert or if I was ready for the bill. I usually don't think this way but I did bring it to her attention and her body language alone told me she was uncomfortable. And my tone was gentle. Not happy and will reconsider going there in the future .My mother also mentioned feeling watched uncomfortably while eating there. Anyway if my perception is wrong forgive me but something didn't sit right today being a woman of colour.

Halibut is always crispy. The in house coleslaw is always good. I like to get the onion rings too.

Good food and service Will go again. Fish and chips were fresh and crispy. Wait staff friendly and attendant. Dining area clean and comfortable. Lots of parking and well priced

Very candidly I’m not sure what so many of these bad reviews are about. My partner and I go here occasionally when we need to go to the metro. We stop in and have late lunch. They have daily deals, which are super well priced. The food comes out quick and the portions are quite large. I have never been able to finish the fish and chips. They give you all the tartar sauce you want. It’s very clean and well maintained. The servers are friendly and try hard. Overall it’s a good place to eat two people $45 all in with tip. It’s pretty decent and considering the alternative like a pub that has fish and chips. This is significantly better.Kid-friendliness: You can definitely bring children here. Plenty of seating and they have a kids menu.Wheelchair accessibility: The doors are wide and there is a ramp. The restaurant is all on one level and there is an ample dining room. The bathroom is very tight though so while not completely accessible this restaurant is almost there.

Me, my wife and her sister came for lunch and we are all very happy we did. This place has lots of seating and there are many tables that can accommodate wheelchair or other mobility device. Very nice and bright interior, with big windows that let lots of natural light in.The staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome. They were very quick to make sure your order was taken and that if you needed anything, it was taken care of.The food....... Was amazing! One of the best fish and chips I have had in a very long time. The batter on the decent size piece of halibut was perfect.... Not too thick or too thin, just in that perfect spot. Fish was flaky and moist, a fantastic cut of halibut. All 3 had the same fish and the consistency of all three were exactly the same. It is so nice to see a place actually be consistent across multiple dishes.The chips (fries) were exactly what I was hoping they'd be, fresh cut and cooked to perfection. They had a nice crunch to them but we're nice and fluffy inside. My wife had a poutine and she loved the gravy.... Only downside.... The cheese was not cheese curds, but she still very much enjoyed them.The coleslaw was great, a real eye opener. My wife and her sister both really enjoyed it. They said it was some of the best they have ever had. My sister in law finished the coleslaw first, she enjoyed it that much. I had a garden salad and I was very happy with it. You would be amazed how many restaurants mess up a simple salad, but the place is not one of them. Perfect balance of lettuce and toppings and with just the right amount of dressing.If you live in the area of this place, I am very jealous of you. I would be here at least twice a week if I could. If you don't, you can get to it very easily, as it is not far from the TTC's Victoria Park Subway Station. The food was top notch and the service was great. If you are in the mood for great fish and chips, this is the place to go. My wife and I will definitely be back.Wheelchair accessibility: The place has easy access and there are many table that are able to accept a wheelchair or other mobility devices.

Solid cod and chips. A chippy back in the UK is expensive these days. This came under $20 which is great value imo. Could they have let the fish sit for a few minutes out of the fryer? Maybe, but I appreciate how quickly they got my order prepared. Definitely hit the spot for me.
