    We loved it every morning. Sadly my husband paid no attention to the ticket and I just saw we paid for someone else’s meal they got steak and eggs the crab Benedict and a omelet. I had water 21 egg and bacon. He had toast 2 eggs and water coffee. Our adult son had eggs Benedict Diet Coke and granddaughter had kids pancakes. I wondered why it was so high he paid fast bc we had tours to get off too. Wish I could have enjoyed the steak and eggs. Loren Rich

    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.

    Great staff, delicious wedge salad, select standard seating and request dining room as opposed to bar area because of noise, music bass, and Sports Channel TVs in Bar Area.
