We chose thisete restaurant because it was next to a theater venue. Our expectations were low; just grab a before theater bite. Oh my, the food was delicious and the five of shared plates. The ginger noodles were delicious as were the enchiladas. The fish was perfect- not over breaded or overcooked, and the curry chicken, great.
The place is pretty with murals and native sculpture on the walls. Service was bery attentive.
A diamond in the rough. Will definitely...

This his a hidden jewel! My son wanted to there for his birthday, and now me and my family keep coming back! They have excellent food, employees and the atmosphere is cozy! I guarantee you will not be disappointed with the service they provide. We have fallen in love 😊

This was my first time at the Highlands. Great food (I had the vegan gyro), friendly service, and nice atmosphere.

I wish that the complete menu was easier to see on the website.
