"Our wait person was wonderful. She paid just the right amount of attention to us, helped us get out for meetings we had to attend, even as she made sure we were able to savor the delicious food New Heights offers. Haven't been to New Heights in years, but will now be a regular!"

"The steak was a very average cut of meat and not cooked to my order. That being said the staff was very concerned about it and made repeated efforts to amend things. They really care about their establishment...I just don't think beef is something they really should have on their menu. Others in my party were quite pleased. The staff and manager were all very efficient and friendly"

"The restaurant staff were very friendly and nice. They had a big table that night (20+ people), so they apologized for the kitchen being backed up. But we actually had thought they were just giving us some space to enjoy our gin and to talk, so didn't mind. Food was good - nothing out of the ordinary, but tasty enough. Room is nice - and tables are well spaced out."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to New Heights last evening. We started in their Gin Joint bar downstairs and the bartender took us on a very interesting tour through several different gins that were new to us. Upstairs in the dining room, the service was excellent, the ambiance was lovely, and the food was very good. If I lived in the neighborhood, I would be a regular here."
