My husband and I had the wonderful oysters as an appetizer and we both had the duck confit, which was the best that we have ever eaten. We have always had excellent meals at this restaurant. New Heights is one of the few restaurants where you can hear what your dinner partners are saying. The decor is attractive and inviting. Although parking is limited right near the restaurant, there is plenty of street parking in the residential neighborhood a few blocks away and the restaurant is not far from a subway stop.

It took the soft turns around food you would expect to be on a Washington menu and gave it a little twist. The cocktails were incredible. She is in from Los Angeles but I live here. I will be going back with other friends. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The mussels and frites were very good, despite our concern that there was mayo in the sauce. Our friends said the branzino was very good as well. Price with a bottle of okay white wine was about $100 per couple, plus tip.
