    It had been many years since I enjoyed this DC mainstay, and on my recent visit, they did not disappoint. The food and service were top-notch. Our server was amazing and let my family members/me enjoy a reunuion after 5 years of not seeing one another. Class all the way! Five stars for Lebanese Taverna!

    First time at New Heights and it will not be our last. Janna, our server was delightful. The menu is quite varied (Latin American and Ukranian/Eastern European) but everything was delicious and very fresh. I had a crab cake which came with a small simple salad and both were excellent. The crab cake was very large and used real crab meat and was perfectly seasoned. The tuna tacos had a nice little kick and the ceviche was outstanding. Room decor looks tired but has GREAT potential with comfortable banquets and large picture windows. Bar drinks need some help (upgrade) but we will most definitely be back when we want to sit, enjoy a good meal and hear what our friends have to say.
