A gem!! Dinner was outstanding here! The cheese fondue was yummy! Ambiance was so lovely, we were able to talk and not scream across the table. We ordered the rack of lamb, the shrimp fettuccine which was really really good. The mussels were ok. The pistachio ricotta is out of this world, we wish we ordered more!!

New Heights has been on my must do list and was a hit. From the cocktail, which was the Smoke on the Water with a substitute of grapefruit gin – absolute delish to the beautifully shucked oysters. Shucking oysters is an absolute art. I had the Alfredo pasta sans shrimp.

From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were warmly greeted by the owner herself and felt at home. The food was incredibly delicious but the drinks were something else! My husband and I can’t wait to come back with friends and family visiting from out of town to show them New Heights.

New Heights Restaurant in Washington DC is a place that should not be missed! The food was incredible – I highly recommend ordering the fresh oysters, lamb chops, halibut, and Branzino. Not only does it taste amazing, but the presentation of every dish was also outstanding. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, providing excellent service throughout our experience. There’s a great energized atmosphere without being overly loud. Highly recommended! #five-stars #newheightsrestaurant #washingtondc

There are not enough superlatives to fully capture the wonderful experience my family had at New Heights. First, we made reservations through an online system (not directly through the restaurant) for later than the kitchen was open. When we arrived, we could tell that they were not really open, but we mentioned that we had reservations. We fully expected them to turn us away, and we wouldn’t have blamed them. In spite of the kitchen being closed, they honored our reservation. Our server was Rosa, and she was super professional. She didn’t “hover”, trying to hurry us up. She was great in making recommendations. The food was top notch. We had the ceviche, the rack of lamb, and the crab cakes. Everything was cooked to perfection. The entire staff was warm and welcoming.

Phenomenal experience at New Heights. This place is a a true gem. The crab cakes tasted better than ones we had on the Chesapeake Bay. The food was great, but the drinks were even better! Cocktails had unique flavor profiles – definitely go for happy hour, the prices are great. Gunchin and Katya went above and beyond. We will be back.
