New Heights Restaurant 2317 Calvert Street Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20008

"A bastion of fancy American fare, this spot stands out with a flair to spare. If next door's options seem too tame, here you'll find a more adventurous game. With surprises that gently tease the palate, it's a city vibe, minus the mallet. Just enough zest to feel the thrill, yet not so much to overwhelm the will. A culinary journey, subtly bold, perfect for those seeking flavors untold. This place, a bridge between comfort and dare, offers a taste of the big city air."

"We got a gift card for this restaurant! It was totally worth it! For last NYE dinner (champagne glass included)it was absolutely amazing! Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. They had a Bolivian dish! That was over the top my favorite meal ever! Brought so many childhood memories! I love supporting small businesses and this one is by far the Best! It’s worth the drive! I’ll be back!"

"Great restaurant with delicious food, excellent service and peaceful cozy atmosphere. We started with a shot of Ukrainian vodka with black pepper and pickles. Borscht soup was very good. Then we had fried mushrooms, and they were excellent. Pork belly buns and Brazilian steak were also very good. Ceviche was simple and very refreshing. We really enjoyed our meal here and I would certainly recommend! Our server Michael was very friendly and we felt very comfortable and well taken care of. All around great experience! Thank you."

"Excellent neighborhood restaurant featuring a diverse, solid menu of food and cocktails, strong service, and fine decor. We started with the Crispy Fried Oysters (Seasoned Panko, Tartar Sauce, Pickled Cauliflower) and they were excellent, brimming with flavor. Next up were the Pork Belly Buns (Blood Orange Hoisin, Pickled Onion Watermelon Radish) which were also very good, very creative flavor accents. For our mains, we first had the Filet Medallions (6 oz Tenderloin Filet Mignon Medallions Chimichurri, Béarnaise, Oyster Mushroom, Potato Croquette) and they were just ok. The meat quality was just average and the croquette was forgettable. The mushrooms were nice. If it wasn't for the extra bearnaise, we wouldn't have finished the filet. Next was the Creamy Creole Shrimp Fettuccini (Garlic, Onion, Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Parmesan cheese) and this was a nice turnaround from the medallions, very solid. Nice amount of heat and spice, and the creamy sauce was decadent. The dessert menu had a bunch of mundane choices in general so we zoomed in on the unique items, the Pistacchio Ricotta Cake & the Honey Chocolate Cream Cake. The former was very good but the latter was superb, one of the best cakes I've had. For cocktails, we tried the following: Purple Rain (Botanist Gin | Lavender Syrup | Club Soda) - like a lighter twist on an Aviation, crisp and refreshing. Toasted Marshmallow Old Fashion (Four Roses Bourbon | Bitters | Marshmallow Syrup) - one of the best spins on an Old Fashioned I've tried. Bold flavor but balanced, and anchored well with the bourbon. Service was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Highly recommended."

"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. *update* Came back to New Heights with my parents and they LOVED it, as I knew they would! Such a lovely restaurant with amazing people, and outstanding food & cocktails. Kateryna and Olena are fantastic and definitely made our experience much more memorable."
