My mom had the pizza special which was the Alexa and she said it was the best pizza she’s ever had. The pasta was fresh and tasted very good. Our waitress was very kind and did great. It was a wonderful experience. We would go back again.

We had a nice dinner. It was the start of the long weekend so it was quiet at the restaurant. The pizzas were good, the wine was nice and both were reasonably priced, which is getting harder to find. It was my birthday, so we shared a complimentary dessert, very generously provided by the restaurant.

Richmond West

About the restaurant

The Silver Heights Restaurant opened its doors at 2169 Portage Avenue in June, 1957. Former cabbie Anthony Siwicki Sr. had no idea it would still be going strong today! His operating philosophy was simple: “Provide your guests with quick and friendly service, and to serve fresh, delicious quality food at a reasonable price”…and to keep it that way. The restaurant is now in its third generation going forward.

Silver Heights Restaurant was slowly transformed from a coffee shop into a lounge and dining room and bar. The adjoining hardware store on the East side became the dining room. In 1964 Tony bought out his three partners and his three sons Jim, Dave and Allan have grown the business.
