First time visiting, it is nice to have a great restaurant so close to home. Growing up in the area seeing the Inn and restaurant change a few times it is nice to see something new and exciting there for a change.

Excellent food and service. Nice place for a quiet dinner.
Great food, great drinks and great atmosphere! The cauliflower was definitely a good add to the menu!

I was a little skeptical at first as this is a difficult part of NH to make a go of a smaller/independent, quality restaurant - however that is just what Heartwood is doing. They are truly invested in delivering a positive dining experience at a reasonable price. The menu is limited, but that's ok with us because the limit allows them to focus and do it correctly. The food was presented well, came out timely and was actually flavorful without being overly sauced or buried/lacking in spices. I felt like Goldilocks finally finding "just right". The restaurant is not large, but it is clean, well decorated, the paint choices are lovely, the mural is a nice reminder of the area's past and the old vibe to the place is charming instead of rundown, as it should be. The fireplace was going when we were there as we were finally having a cold February day, which was a very welcome ambience boost, as a natural fire always is. I think Omer and his staff at Heartwood have a good thing going- especially for the middle of winter during a traditionally non-tourist time of year, they were still busy and now I can see why. If you haven't tried them out yet, don't hesitate - it's worth it.

I’m glad finally made it to have dinner in this place. Amazing food, amazing staff. Chicken Marsala is a must, very well balanced. Also had cauliflower and burger. Will try their butter chicken for next visit.

We live in Dover but this place was definitely worth the drive! Beautiful building and decor. We were greeted and served very promptly and loved the unique fusion flavors they offer that are hard to find in the area. My favorite was their butter chicken and fried cauliflower with tahini sauce. Highly recommend!

Discovering this gem, by pure happenstance, was the best part of our weekend! Nestled off the beaten path, this restaurant sits within a B&B and has a rustic and elegant charm with AMAZING food - we're hooked and can't wait to go back. We had the Heartwood salad, Chicken Marsala, and Butter Chicken and then ordered the Lemon Posset and Chocolate Kokosh to-go, and all were *outstanding*. Managers, Gil and Omer went above and beyond to ensure our meal and experience were nothing short of perfection. Don't hesitate to check them out - you won't be disappointed!

Part of Independence Inn. New owners and chefs. Incredible meal and atmosphere near Bow Lake. Superb attentive service and staff. So cozy with fireplace and gathering spaces along with bar and tables. Each item was delectable.
