Harbour Street Fish Bar

I’m not sure why people have given this place low ratings– it was fantastic! My family and i just got through skiing and were hungry, and though the restaurant seemed a little secluded and quiet (because of the area), it was actually really nice inside! Love the fireplaces, tables, silverware, etc. It had a great ambience for a family to have dinner.
I got the fish n chips– atlantic halibut. Though it was bland, the fish was huge and fried to perfection with yummy natural cut fries. It was served on newspaper (so cute!), and the coleslaw was my absolute favorite. They added dill in the coleslaw and it was genius!
My brother got the beef and mushroom pie. He really liked it. Totally reminiscent of england!
Mother got the 8oz ny strip steak with mashed potatoes and vegetables. She loved her steak and wouldnt share with us lol! The mashed potatoes were very buttery and creamy.
My dad got the fish n chips– haddock. He couldnt stop thanking me for choosing the place because it hit the spot for sure!
Service was excellent, our waitress was very conversational and kind.
It was completely dead at about 5 pm on a saturday, but picked up throughout the night. There was a stage set up with band equipment– maybe open mic nights.
Be prepared to spent about 20 per person on average!

We were told this was a good restaurant for fish and chips while in the area for the spa. However, the food was just okay. It took us so long to get our food. from the time we were seated until it arrived it was maybe a two hour wait. To be fair they were quite busy and the waitress did give us a heads up that the kitchen was behind. I don’t blame her however I still have to take a star off for such a long wait. We only ordered fish and chips — not sure why that took so long. A group of ladies that sat down almost 20 mins after us received their food first… Kind of weird. The apps were alright. We had the catfish lollys and the calamari. I had debated getting the catfish entrée and I’m glad i opted for the app version instead. They seemed prepared the same way. The lollys were just okay although I found the catfish a bit mushy. I ate them all truly because I was literally starving at this point and not because they were delicious. the calamari was tasty but I dont think the sauce it was served with quite went together. We ordered the fish and chips as nothing much else on the menu jumped out at us. The fish was good. A nice portion and the fries were good as well. Not a huge fan of the tartar. We did not like the coleslaw at all. It tasted a bit off. I believe there was dill in it or some kind of herb that just threw the entire taste of it off. I definitely think the fish and chips were good although not the best but I do believe they were over priced. I wouldn’t recommend or go back only because you could probably get better quality fish and chips that aren’t as expensive elsewhere. For a restaurant that is supposed to specialize in fish and seafood I guess I was just expecting something more.

We came here as it was convenient to where we stayed and had decent reviews on Trip Advisor. I will say that the wait staff was trying; however they were severely understaffed for the evening (we visited on a Sunday). We were served our appetizers 1.25 hours after after we arrived. The food seemed fairly average although they had some unique menu items including pot pies. I ordered the fish tacos and was surprised to get them with a hard shell taco inside the soft shell (which I didn’t care for). We would not recommend this place and would not return.

I had high hopes for this place since a lot of people recommended to me but I was really disappointed.
Everything was terrible. My husband and I both ordered the Haddock & Chips to go .boy was that a mistake! Atleast if we had sat down to eat, I could have said something about the food.
The fish had way too much batter and was holding onto a lot of oil
The chips were soggy with oil
The coleslaw tasted like it had went bad days before serving it to customers
And last but not least. the tartar sauce. how does anyone screw that up?! It was so runny and tasted like they added dijon mustard to it. Who does that?! Its tartar sauce. you don’t need to try and fancy it up with french mustard. it doesn’t belong!!!
I’d rather order a filet-​o-​fish from the golden arches!

Le steak est fameux, le service est convivial
Nous avons passé une belle soirée
Vous pouvez comparer clam chowder et seafood chowder, les deux sont excellents

Tonight we had a great experience at the restaurant. I had fish and chips (halibut) and my wife had the same (haddock). Both meals were prepared exactly as they should be. This, along with the attention from our friendly waitress made for an enjoyable evening. We highly recommend this place for others too.

The fish is worth 5 stars, incredibly fresh and well fried. Everything else is fine but not spectacular. Also had the crab cakes (did not like the texture), chowder (under seasoned), coleslaw (tiny portion and dry). However, this place is about the fish and I am certain if you order it you want be disappointed — everything else we would probably skip due to the blandness and cost.

Only 2 waitstaff and it was busy. Waited 15 minutes to get seated. When food finally came it was good. Hire more people.
Atlantic Halibut VERY good. Seafood pasta was meh

What a pleasant surprise to discover this restaurant. We had one of the best pasta dishes ever, here. It was a seafood linguine with dill perfectly cooked and seasoned. We also had white fish and chips with a salad. The salad was unlike other fish and chips shops, these guys made some effort to make it a good salad. Fish was moist and tasty. And for desert we had their ribs and french fries. Ribs we good for a seafood restaurant. Fries were excellent. If you are staying at Blue Mountain Resort you should definitely come here. The restaurants at the resort can’t touch this one in quality and value. We will be back next year hopefully the pasta is still there.

We had a great meal, the fish perfectly cooked. Georgian bay white fish with pints of delicious Creemore Springs. Freshly made coleslaw with dill and tartar sauce. French fries were yummy and crispy. It was a real treat and we would go again. 3 adults, two kids, the bill came to $ 88.
