4.0 star rating
  Update - 3/31/2010

I went to Heartwood today and of course it was delightful.

We went at a quiet hour- only a few peeps in the restaurant. Undivided attention, hello! I ordered the broccoli & red cabbage salad which was good... but maybe a little too much cabbage. Pre…More »

(902) 444-7663
5.0 star rating

Morris East is the best pizza I've had in Halifax by far. Its fresh and inspired with its combinations of toppings & spices. Pizza is cooked on in a wood-fired oven, creating heaven in bread form. Not too soft, not to crisp- its just right!

  Update - 5/1/2010

A much needed reaffirmation of my love for the Wooden Monk.

I set sail to this resto for a first date (ooh!) just recently. Points to my new friend for suggesting such a lovely setting, as it had been too long since I've graced its confines.

It wasn't…More »

This is a fantastic little spot to support our own. The Grainery is a co-op, so everyone involved is strictly volunteer based. The woman I spoke to was helpful in relaying their focus, and provided a charismatic energy to my visit. I discovered that…More »
