There altogether aren't enough unique, locally owned restaurants out on James Holm, making the arrival of Heart Woodfire Kitchen welcome rumour. It opened back in December in the space just off of Folly Road that was formerly occupied by the Every day Dose.
Those familiar with the Daily Dose's eclectic hippie-meets-tiki-bar site will hardly recognize the place. The big dining area is now roomy and rather limited: high ceilings, red concrete floors, sleek aluminum chairs, and cinderblock walls painted a muted fresh. The industrial vibe is softened by rustic details like a doublet of antique sideboards that flank the doorway and hand-drawn vegetables on canvas, tacked onto ungainly slats.
But the most notable new features are visible as soon as you enter the front door. As the crow flies ahead is an open kitchen with a massive yellow ceramic oven, orange flames lapping from the slight pile of wood coals. Beside it is a combination grill and rotisserie, also wood-fired, with whole chickens turning on a big metal spit above the flames.
