The flavors and presentation of each course are exquisite. Both the duck and halibut entrees are delicious. We appreciated Rosa’s friendly, attentive service and look forward to our next opportunity to celebrate a special occasion.

It is very consistent, and we have never been disappointed, and we appreciate half-price wine on Wednesday. We always feel very welcome.

The tempura shrimp appetizer was delicious with 6 large pieces. The scallops with couscous and broccolini was very flavorful- delicious! Red velvet cake for dessert was light and lovely. I had a Cosmo in a beautiful fluted coupe - delicious. Service was great, not rushed - we come every time we are in DC and will come again!

We have been to New Heights many times and they have never disappointed. This night was no different. Our waiter was new and while still in training he was amazing ... and so was the halibut. Thank you for saving our evening.
