Food was tasty and everyone was happy with it, but the process of ordering it was painful. The first time I called I was told the items we picked were not available and that I must have been looking at the wrong menu, even though I was using the menu listed on the Heartwood website. I was instead told to reference the menu on Uber Eats as that one was correct. When we all chose our new orders, I called back and was told that some of the items were once again no longer available... and told to search for the restaurant on Google Maps (which links to the website menu btw) and look at the menu posted there in the photos. After looking at that menu, I saw that it had the unavailable options (burgers) still listed, so I had to call back a 4th time to confirm exactly which items were actually available.
I was really excited to have another vegan/vegetarian option for office lunches, but unfortunately the overall experience wasn't great... which is quite a bummer because the food was delicious and filling! I understand having to work out some kinks when opening/reopening a new restaurant, but people shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to figure out what exactly is available to order.

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!

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!

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.

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!

everyone here is so sweet and the food, portions, pricing, and environment is amazing! absolutely no complaints:)
We stopped by the new location on Charles Street, and had not been here since the old location on Quinpool several years ago. I hope to leave this review as constructive criticism because the old location was a decent spot.
For the price of the food, the quality needs to go way up. Our server was kind, but with such an incredibly small menu, the lack of knowledge on the dishes and drinks was odd. We never received our drinks, and had our server come over a couple times to re-ask what we had ordered. Maybe having a notepad would help keep things organized (especially since it was not busy).
We ordered veggies sticks with guac and hummus to start. I honestly couldn't believe how low quality the dish was in general, let alone at $15. There was about 1 tbsp of stringy, brown guac on the plate, with huge randomly cut pieces of raw pepper in it (maybe to bulk it up). Our main dishes, the curry bowl at $15, was not worth it either.
It's a shame because it's a great location and having healthier options to eat out is always welcomed. But we ended up wasting our food rather than enjoying it

Friendly cashier, enjoyable healthy food option. The falafel burrito was very flavorful. I also really enjoyed the chocolate peanut butter cookie which as I purchased as they were just opening was still warm!
Vegetarian options: Many great vegan/vegetarian options.

The worst food that I’ve eaten on the waterfront. Avoid the taco salad at all costs. It’s expensive and tastes terrible.

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.
