Nice unique little place. Nice casual but formal if you know what I mean.
The waiter was knowledgeable and friendly food was superb
The food was fantastic! The ambiance was warm and inviting and they nailed the social distancing with taking out some tables and putting big plants on others. Will definitely be back soon.
Love this heavenly little spot. So pretty and unique. Always get warm gracious service and excellent food!
We really enjoy our evening!Food was delicious and it was a wonderful surprise to be able to eat at the restaurant. I highly recommend it for a romantic night out!
Fantastic as usual
Great..food always good
Food was poor in our opinion. Overcooked eggs Benedict. Very little food for the price so don’t go hungry. They automatically added 18% tip because we were 6.,4?adults and two toddlers!! Not impressed and won’t be returning
LOVED the avocado toast! They make great gin caesars too! Nice place for Sunday brunch.
The only reservation we have about this fine restaurant is that half price bottles of wine are advertised on the website. When we asked about this, the waitress said that that had been discontinued a while ago. She said that she would speak to someone and have it removed from the website. But it is still on the website. Other than this, it is a fine restaurant.
Fantastic dining experience! The food was prepared perfectly and our server was attentive and accurate with everything. Delicious!
Wonderful evening, as usual service is great, food is awesome. definitely recommend!
I took my aunt to lunch at Heartland as she had never been and I knew the ambience would be one she would enjoy. I was pleasantly surprised to see it quite busy at lunch as in the past it was always quiet.
Our waitress was excellent! She didn’t rush us, was very friendly, and suggested items on the menu that were her favourite. We ordered the Sweet Onion House Burger Chuck and the Thai Fried Rice Noodle bowl. The burger is made in-house & was fresh and tasty. The Thai noodle bowl was not too spicy, very flavourful. Perhaps a bit too much sauce but excellent none the less.
Fantastic lunch spot and we are going to go back for brunch soon!
Sunday brunch, my eggs Benedict were served ice cold, all other guests temperatures were fine. Food was unspectacular. Nice decor.

Set menu for Valentine’s Day was well thought out and included 4 courses. Food was excellent and service was great and unhurried. Wonderful evening and well worth the price.
MurrayH, Thank you, we know if we are chosen to be the date for Valentines we had better make it special, so we are so pleased to hear our efforts did not go unnoticed. Thank you for this kind review!
Great ambiance. Nice and quiet and the tables are not jammed together. Food has been very good both times we have dined here. The surf (scallops and shrimps) and turf(beef tenderloin) was very well prepared. Suggest a focus on the daily items available.

Meal tasted good but I payed extra for shrimp , and was shorted on my order. It was brought to your staffs attention and she even said I was correct however nothing was done. I thing at the very least you should get what you pay for.
Anonymous, It sounds like we may have missed correcting the error, can you please contact us so we can make it right?

I brought my parents here for my Dad’s birthday after my wife and I had an amazing meal a couple of weeks earlier. My parents usually go to the Keg for birthday parties however we were able to convince them to try something new and they were not disappointed. Both the food and the service was exceptional, the steaks were cooked perfectly and were served with fresh sides that tasted incredible. My parents have now been converted and will be returning for their next birthday dinner.
Anonymous, Thank you for trying something new and choosing the Heartland Cafe and Restaurant. We are so pleased to hear that we wowed your party and that everything was perfect! We hope to see you for your next celebration!
This restaurant is excellent in every way. The only down side was the rather noisy table close by our, 'a gaggle of girls'!
Ellemac, Thank you for this kind review, we are glad you enjoyed your visit. While we cannot manage giggly girls, it does provide a sense that they were enjoying their visit as well. We have more private tables if you would like for your next visit, just let us know when you place your reservation.
The food was decent. It's very cozy inside. The service was slow and forgetful. Could of been an off night. I'd try it again to see if it improved. It was alright.
JessA, This does sound like a rare occurrence, we would love to learn more to look into it, can you email us at info@heartlandcafe.ca so we can look into it? We would like to hear that guests have a wonderful time so we would love to learn more about what may have occurred.
The food was delicious! We ordered from the Brunch menu. I wish they would add more per serving though. The service was ok. Our server seemed to be exasperated about something and we could feel it. But overall our dining experience was OK.
NP29, Sorry to hear this, would you mind sending us a message to info@heartlandcafe.ca so we can look into it, we would hate to think any of our staff was distracted, they are very passionate so if we can we would love to help both of you. We hate hearing the experience was only OK we would love to hear more so we can make it right! Thank you!
I came with my girlfriend who, upon entering the restaurant turned to me and said "Oh, this place is beautiful. I did make a reservation and glad I did as it was pretty busy. We had the salmon and the pasta.
The Cafe Lattes are the best...
Great service.
We were so relaxed we stayed for 2 hours and loved the place.
Thank you so much we will be back....
MavisP, Our secret is that we use Rebel Bean coffee - a local roaster making our coffee extremely fresh (it travels 2 blocks!) We would welcome you back anytime! Thank you for choosing a local restaurant!
Excellent food and quaint atmosphere. Pecan chicken was amazing! Loved it.
McHolly, The pecan chicken is definitely a guest favorite, along with the beet salad. Thank you for choosing us and leaving us such a wonderful review. Being an old church, we think the atmosphere is unlike anywhere else, so glad you enjoyed it!
