"Both of our different shrimp dishes were superb. Generous portions, w/plenty of shrimp (decent-sized shrimp, too), so the $14/dish was well worth it (not ye olde 'precisely-five-small-shrimp-buried-in-the-veggies' kind of thing we've had elsewhere). Haltun has an unusual range of drinks, such as cashew berry juice in addition to tamarind, etc.; unfortunately they were out of almost all of them that night. The flan, the only dessert, was good if not as stellar as the shrimp. Our server was very friendly but a bit distracted, even though we were so early there were very few other customers. My friend was an instant convert to Haltun, and kept saying later, "That was a *really* good meal!. . . . That was a *really* good meal!""

"Absolutely terrible. After ordering tilapia was told that it was unavailable and would be replaced with salmon for $2.00 extra. Server was completely inept and had to be prompted by his father in the kitchen and still didn't get anything right. Only people having a good time there were the four beer-drinking Mexicans at the bar watching a soccer game."

"It's odd that Haltun is even on Open Table, because they don't need to organize reservations. The place was completely empty when I was there. Food is good, but I think it operates primarily as a take out place. Owners definitely need some lessons in how to create some ambiance. Lighting was so "romantic" that you could hardly see the menu. The waiter seemed to have no experience,and was just awkward. I'll go back, cause it's in my hood and the food is tasty, but probably just for take out."

"Unfortunately I can't say much about the restaurant. Our reseravations was for 5:45 PM. We got there and ... there wasn't a living sould there. There weren't any customers either. We waited for a bit for someone to show up, but we had a very hungry 5-year old so we had to bail out and we went somewhere else. It looked interesting though."
