The food is great! And the drink menu is expansive. The price for their supper menu is a bit higher but not too bad for downtown halifax. They have good gluten free options as well. Their nachos (which I have several pictures of) are fantastic! I tried the lamb burger and it was good but I feel like the goat cheese overpowered the taste of the lamb burger. Their roasties are phenomenal however

My sister and I ate here twice in June 2022. My sister has to avoid gluten, which made this restaurant a treasure. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable and the food was delicious! We had the “fried” fish from the lighter fares menu. It was a huge portion of fish, perfectly cooked and very fresh. The potatoes were yummy and their take on coleslaw was very tasty. We also had the fish cakes which were also very enjoyable and very fresh tasting. It was so good we had nachos at their Dartmouth location another day. I just wish they had Wooden Monkey t-shirts.

The seitan donair was really good 5/5 stars! And the roasties were really good too! The vegetarian special was not good, it tasted like left over food from yesterday. The pasta over cooked, cold and the “roasted vegetables” were just vegetables cut and thrown on the plate! The fish cakes would be a 3/5 nothing crazy…. The garlic “pizza” was small but it is what it said it was.Overall pretty decent restaurant but the portions didn’t really justify the price. The concept behind the restaurant is nice.

Very good service with good food. The reason for 4 stars is that it's good food but not great food. We were a large group so we got a chance to try quite a few items. Everything was decent but just lacking that little bit extra to out it over the top. For ex, the scallops in the pasta were a bit over cooked. The pasta itself was a bit underseasoned. There were a good things as well, the brushetta was awesome, the caeser salad was pretty good and the pork loin tacos were good. I think it's safe to say we enjoyed the appies more than the entrées.

The food we had here was top notch. We originally chose to come here because of the wide variety gluten free options. They went above and beyond our expectations. We were even more impressed when we discovered all the dessert items were gluten free. I'm convinced no matter what you choose on the menu, you won't be disappointed.

I was hungry after work and there were lots of people around because of the NAIG happening. I ate inside but there was a table next to me that was very loud and noisy. There was also a table of kids. I had to wear my earbuds and play music and eat but it still was noisy. The Korean pork tacos were excellent but a little messy. The cocktails I'd had before and were refreshing. Loved the chocolate tofu pie and was pretty full after.

Disappointed, again. This is the second and last time I’ll eat here, The food does not ring true to their mission statement of being locally sourced. It was bland and uninteresting, the ingredients were clearly not in house made and tasted like it came from a can. I had the eggplant parmigiana which was basically a piece grocery store eggplant roasted with cheese on top..I don’t feel good about this review, and the food also made me feel sick.The staff was delightful and I found that made the experience better.Thanks

Attended here for a work lunch gathering a few weeks back. This was my first and likely my last visit. Our server was very friendly and attentive, the bright spot to my experience.I ordered the Monkey Club with roasties as the side. The sandwich was underwhelming for taste and the bun it was served on was dry and crumbled in your hands. The roasties, which are their oven baked potato wedges, were nothing to write home about.This wasn't the worst dining experience I've had, but it was far from memorable in a positive way. The product did not match up with the price and therefore I could not recommend it. I imagine it does well based on it's convenient location and it's accommodation to different dietary needs.
