We stopped in at The Wooden Monkey while travelling from Calgary & Vancouver last weekend and had an incredible experience. Even without a reservation, we were seated right away and warmly welcomed. The whole team was great, but Hannah truly stood out—friendly, funny, knowledgeable and so genuine. She brought the whole farm-to-table concept to life with such passion. The food was outstanding so flavourful and thoughtfully crafted—especially the kale Caesar, lamb ravioli, and seafood pasta. As Italians we were surprised by their take on bruschetta but it was a delicious and creative rendition on their house made focaccia. If only we lived closer so we could come back regularly. Highly recommend!

They are so good and the best part about it was that I had to go to the bathroom because I couldn’t sleep because I ate too much

Farm to table restaurant. Perfect sized menu that let the quality of the ingredients speak for themselves.
Myself and three friends had dinner here on a business trip one Sunday night. The food was good but the service was terrible. We all liked our meals, but had to wait forever to be served. Some people arrived after us, were finished and their tables cleared before we even got served. An hour after ordering the manager comes to tell one of our party their order was not available. We then had to wait even longer so his meal was ready at the same time as the rest of us. We would not come back knowing it would take two hours for dinner.
This place was recommended to us by a "local" in Mahone Bay so we thought we'd try it out. It was quite busy on a Wednesday evening, yet felt relaxed with a nice, cosy atmosphere. We liked the choices on the menu and both had a good meals.

We love this chain restaurant located the cross street to our hotel. They have kids Manuel and cranes and painting , kids are concentrated on painting. The kids manual is price friendly, food tastes good. We sat in the first floor, there is second floor as well. Very friendly to the family who has a little kids. Will recommend to friends and my clients here. Location is convenient,easy to access waterfront or other places in the downtown.
Kid-friendliness: There is kids manual and staffs painting and cranes.

I was just going to say ditto to Eli who wrote a review 2 months before me. This is a great place for people with celiacs. I just like the food and atmosphere. Comfy cozy place, good food, great for vegetarians and vegans as well. Can’t tell if ou price. We are still eating.
My husband and I ate here for dinner. I had the rice bowl with added tofu and it was pretty good! We also had the tofu chocolate pie which was delicious. Such a cozy vibe as well, really liked the atmosphere they’ve created. Would definitely eat here again!
