The pieces are generous. One piece is plenty for the average person. The halibut is BC caught, which is great. Tasted fresh and delicious. I like the fresh tasting coleslaw. It isn't that gluggy sweet sugar & mayo combo you get at many places. It was just a simple cut up cabbage nicely seasoned. Maybe it had a little something else on it. Expect a line whenever you go because the word is out. The wait staff was friendly and working hard to keep the line moving. We found a chair up against a narrow wooden "bar" facing the water. It was quite warm so we appreciated the shade of an umbrella.

I got the albacore tuna and tempura cod tacones which were decently priced and filling - 2 was more than enough for a nice meal. The albacore tuna was prepared medium and fresh and flavorful, and the tempura cod is nicely battered. Both shared similar ingredients like the slaw and it was hard to differentiate the different sauces. Line was long - even on Saturday 4:30pm, it was a 15 min queue and another 10 minutes for food. Lots of ample seating outdoors only, so I can imagine it being more busy on a nicer day like when I visited.

I'll admit I was a little skeptical at first -- it's right on the harbor and surrounded by tourist attractions, which usually screams "tourist trap." But I'm so glad we gave it a chance, because the food, ambiance, cocktails, and service were phenomenal. I can confidently say this place is not a tourist trap. I couldn't even tell you exactly what I ordered because we literally ordered a quarter of the menu. Every dish was a hit, and even the five kids in our group loved everything that came out.

Visited Finn's several years ago so decided to stop in again while shopping in Victoria…read more We were seated on the outside deck and had a great view of the water. The menu had several choices of a wide range of food. Fish and chips, steak, oysters. They do have some vegetarian and gluten free options as well. They offer a wide selection of wine and have delicious cocktails. It's nice , comfortable atmosphere. The bar is also very nice. Lots of room with plenty of tables. Would be a great meet up location with friends or a great choice for date night. I enjoyed a shrimp curry dish that was beautifully plated and very delicious. We also enjoyed the fish & chips... also yummy. Will be back next time we are in town!

The food was super fresh and the menu has so many fresh options. The pricess is pretty simple. Walk up to the entrance where you order at the countertop. Menus are posted on the front wall. Place your order and pay. Get a number or a pager and go find a picnic table to sit by the water. When the food is ready, walk to the kitchen window and pick up your tray of food. After you eat, there is garbage cans to dispose of your garbge. I liked that everything was paper, wooden and very compostable. This food shack also sells a variety of drinks including beer and wine bottles. To start, I tried the Seafood Stew which was so good. A tomato broth with so much seafood. The dipping bread was excellent and the fact that the stew had no fillers like potatoes, I was so happy. The fresh fish tacos were simple in ingredients but had so much flavor. Loved the fresh tortillas too.

We had great service at the bar, friendly and attentive.

The restaurant itself is beautiful the inside and original decor is quite exquisite as it used to be a bank. The food was OK. I felt like it was overpriced for portion served and lacked a little bit of flair for something that is normally smaller portions.

The service was OK, but they were very busy so we had to go up and get our check when it was time to leave.
