The waiter at the dartmouth side is great. Very sweet and quick with everything yet also doesn't pester or hover.The lentil burger and the fresh mushroom soup and the beat salad were amazing. Portion for price were... somewhat average. Not very very filling but definitely unique flavours.The view at the dartmouth side is definitely worth it. Will go back for sure

The wooden monkey offers a great view of the halifax harbor. We were seated quickly and their menu has a variety of pub-fare, appetizers and mains including plenty of vegetarian/vegan options. I had the lamb ravioli, it did not dissapoint. Only issue is parking, we couldn't find any street parking nearby so had to walk a few blocks.

I very much enjoy going into this restaurant. The food is creative and delicious and the service is very friendly. However, my first time experience ordering through door dash was absolutely disgraceful for the amount of money we paid. Bought a seitan donair and there was 5 BURNT potato wedges and the donair was not completely cooked, cold and had a couple tomato pieces and 2 onion pieces. There was no quality or care put into this especially for the cost. However, learned they did provide a refund for the donair, very much appreciated thank you! Still disappointed about delivery and will not order delivery here again! I will go in house!

A comfortable and cozy, but not crowded atmosphere makes for a great meal with conversations without yelling like big chain restaurants.The food is very good with many vegan options and is presented very well.The service was great, with frequent check-ins from staff without being overly intrusive.Overall a great dining experience, highly recommended.

We came by for supper on a Monday night. Fabulous food, service (great job Adam). We had a variety of food and drinks from the menu. I ordered the lobster pasta special. Very good! We will definitely stop by again when we visit from Alberta.

My boyfriend and I went here last night as we were good things about the restaurant. We wish we got a little more dressed up as it a nice place for a romantic dinner. but non the less the staff don’t look down on us for coming in jeans and a T shirt haha.Now the food wow! Amazing taste and flavour. The chief really outdid himself. The service was outstanding. We will be back and much rather support this local Business than a big chain restaurant. The prices were great for what you got as well and so much better tasting. If you’re wondering if you should spend your little extra money here on your date night. The answer is yes every time. I will be sharing this gem with all my friends and co workers!Wishing this Business and the staff all the best!

Michael the waiter was extremely helpful in accommodating us to ensuring that our son was able to find allergy friendly options that did not contain nuts or dairy.

Jerk chicken risotto with apple chutney was amazing. Asia and Nu Groove raised the roof. Had an amazing experience. Can’t wait for the next show.

My friends & I went for a New Year’s Eve dinner. Beyond my expectations. Our Waiter was keen to ask if anyone had allergies or sensitivities (which was awesome cause one of us was) the Beef tenderloin was SO TENDER. Their must be due to it being grass fed & local.The music was not so loud we had to raise our voices. And the view was spectacular.
