Our son lives in the area and we have been here 4-5 since January ( every time we visit) The owners are wonderful and the staff very attentive The fish taco appetizer is wonderful ( can be enough for an entree if not wanted a big meal) I’ve had many of the entrees and never a bad meal . The chocolate dessert is my go to
From reception to leaving (and leaving my credit card in the check presenter which led to a call from our server to notify me five minutes after leaving - thank you Jhanna! - everything was excellent. Cocktails, wine and of course the food and service. Lucky to have this in the neighborhood.
Excellent meal—loved the crab cake and pistachio ricotta cake, especially. Nice atmosphere—tablecloths, but relaxed. Reasonably priced for a DC restaurant! Professional and friendly service. Will definitely return.

New Heights Restaurant provides a solid dining experience at a reasonable price, featuring a pleasant ambience and a nice selection of wines and beers. This neighborhood gem has been around since 1986 and was renovated in 2021, giving it a fresh feel. The eclectic menu emphasizes grilled items, with praised dishes like Surf & Turf, Creamy Creole Shrimp Fettuccine, salmon tartar, burrata, scallops, and kale paella, the latter of which benefits from the addition of a protein for non-vegetarian diners. Customers have also loved the crab cake, pistachio ricotta cake, oysters, halibut, and lamb, and the pistachio cake was called the perfect ending. The service is reported to be good, with friendly and efficient staff providing helpful menu advice. Customers have found the food to be excellent and imaginative, not overcooked. The outdoor seating area is secluded and inviting, creating a great atmosphere, especially at the bar. The upstairs dining room is cozy and elegant, adding to the overall experience. The restaurant offers tablecloths yet a relaxed feel, plus Thursday oyster happy hour with $1 oysters and Wednesday half-price wine nights. The restaurant week menu remains available, offering a great selection from the standard menu. While parking may be limited near the restaurant, street parking is accessible a few blocks away, and the location is convenient to public transportation. Overall, New Heights is a popular spot for terrific food and great service in a welcoming atmosphere, making it a great value worth visiting in the neighborhood. However, some customers have noted a credit card surcharge as a downside.
