Heartwood

Ordered the tofu peanut bowl. Got rice instead of noodles. Called to nicely inform them. Could hear the girl in the phone giggle to her manager while she’s telling him the complaint. Very unprofessional. Manager said if I want to go there I could get a free bowl. No other offer to send one out. The food is good here by the service was awful. Sorry girlie.. the words rice and noodles look very different!! Go back to school. You don’t get to laugh at me for your mistake.

The restaurant was so nice and clean. The atmosphere was so relaxing and peaceful. We went out for our late dinner on Saturday and ordered Traditional Heatwood Bowl with sweet & Spicy Tomato Sauce and Green Poutine. They both were so tasty and made us feel so happy and comfortable after eating. Even though we arrived after 9 PM, the server was so friendly and welcoming. If you are a vegetable lover, this is a perfect restaurant to go. They have vegan and gluten free options as well.

Love this place. Great vibes and awesome food! Pictured is the green poutine, and my wife had peanut noodle bowl. Strawberry cider and peanut butter cookie to round out an excellent Sunday night meal!

Service was not great, they completely forgot my coffee even though in between waiting one of there employees came out to ask us, we had to confirm with them two times for them to finally make it for us. The cookie s taste is good but texture is a bit off. Burrito was not wrapped properly, and has a taste of an old storage room.

There is a plentiful and delicious menu here for your average vegetarian! The service is great. Our server was pleasant and attentive. We chose the patio, as it was a mild evening. There are higher stools and comfortable cushioned lower chairs to choose from. The music was a selection of 70's rock & folk, and was perhaps a bit on the loud side. There is a broad selection of house made juices and smoothies, as well as some wines, beers, and soft drinks. My husband's portion of tofu steaks were smaller than expected, but delicious. The green poutine was based in hand-cut cubed hashbrowns rather than fries. It was brimming with veggies, including a delightfully crisped kale, 2 kinds of cabbage, three kinds of onions, and mushrooms; with a black-pepper forward mushroom gravy, and nutritional yeast as the vegan option (alternative to their cheese option). Dessert options are limited to a variety of cookies. Having a lot of food sensitivities and allergies, it's very hard, if not impossible, to find a place where I can safely eat anything other than plain fries, so there wasn't really anything on their menu that I could eat without literally picking through, but the same is true for any restaurant I've tried. Overall, it's a worthwhile place to try for anyone interested in vegetarian food!

I have always loved the food from Heartwood and make a point of ordering it when on the waterfront downtown. I do not normally write reviews and typically only write positive ones, however, I was so disappointed by the very little food received for the cost. I ordered the heartwood bowl with peanut sauce. The flavour was great but I can’t get over the tiny bit of food for $15.00. I’ve put a pic of my hand for size reference. This is a small takeout container; less than half full. There were 3-4 small pieces of kale with minimal other veggies. Mostly rice and a little tofu. I order here because I appreciate the healthy, veggie based and normally veggie loaded options. I brought my meal back to ask if it was “supposed” to be this small and was told it was. I will not be returning, despite wanting to support local, unless things change.

So you need to go to Heartwood! First, the vibe is laid back; chic. Second the food is delicious, healthy and plentiful. Third, service is attentive, sweet and personable; thank you again Riley 🙏 😊. And lastly, it's the price point. My partner and I each had an alcoholic beverage, shared a generous appetitizer, each a main dish and each a dessert for under $ 100.00! Dine here! Whether a first date or after many dates this is a must visit restaurant on the coolest street in Halifax, Agricola. Add to your list this summer as the patio is under construction and you won't be disappointed. Trust me as we are not even vegan! Delicious and generous healthy portions and I loved my organic Chardonnay wine. We will definitely be back over and over!

Would highly recommend if your looking for filling healthy foods - the cookies are a great option for a snack and the smoothie are awesome too… the bowls have been mine and my partners go too, i would like to branch out and try some of the other things as they’ve recently expanded on what they serve.
