My husband and I have gone to the heights several times and it is our absolute favorite restaurant!! We always come back excited to try one of the specials for the night, they are phenomenal!! The entree and its accompaniments are cooked perfectly and thoughtfully orchestrated to be the best taste profile and pairings for the dish. We love how much love and thought is put into the food, it really shows! All staff are so kind and helpful as well as the chef who was so nice and personable to converse with us one evening. The price is worth everything you get including the amazing bread and a choice of salad with the already incredible entrees. Not to mention the portions are very generous and we always leave stuffed and happy!!

The food looked decent but the taste was just mediocre. We had one appetizer, two main dishes, and one dessert. The only dish that amazed me was the dessert souffle. The main dish I ordered was the skirt steak. I ordered medium rare but when it served it seemed more like well-done. The seasoning was ok though. The other main dish my friend ordered was the ravioli. It was way better than the steak. The place was kind of crowded so it could be a bit noisy. The price is rather high considering the quality of the dishes.

The best fine dining experience in Ithaca which I would do once in my life during my study. Definitely very pricey but worth the dishes they offer to you. The classic Caesar salad was fresh and scrumptious, I ordered Seafood Bouillabaisse & Gnocchi which was creamy with flavorful toppings to my liking, and my buddies got steak special. The portion was huge for my preference but I managed to (almost I think) finished them out. Overall, amazing experience 🙂

I’m not big on steak or seafood, which The Heights always offers in abundance with their specials… but the vegetarian entree (though usually only one) is always very good. Great presentation for whatever you order. Cocktails are always spot on and service too. Nice place to come for a special occasion. Lava cake is delish, and chocolate is usually not my first choice for a dessert… but it is here.

Usually the best food in Ithaca, but not the most consistent. Nice plating. Would strongly recommend getting the Ahi tuna steak special if they have it – it’s their best dish.

The Heights is hands down one of the best tucked away restaurants in Ithaca. In my opinion the menu is for a refined palate, one that can appreciate a grand bouquet of flavors offered on many of the menu items. Strongly suggest this restaurant as a contender if you are in the area.

Best fine dining experience you can get in Ithaca. The food menu and wine menu are equally good. They have really great seafood options. I’ve visited the place twice and my experience was equally good on both my visits. I would definitely suggest their grilled octopus for starters. I really like how they pay attention to details on each plate. All their dishes look stunning and taste well at the same time. A perfect place for a date night.

Came here for a wedding rehearsal dinner and the back room is large enough to fit our party of ~25 people with room to spare. Food was a selection from a prix fine menu and was delicious. The highlight was the skirt steak which was perfectly cooked medium rare and super tender. Large portion sizes as well.

After living and eating in Ithaca for years, we finally tried the Heights at work event for my husband. It was a lovely experience with great service and some delicious parts of the meal (the octopus appetizer). My big complaint however is they try to do too much with their flavors and food. My deliciously-cooked steak came with a strawberry mole, tsatziki sauce, and hummus. My husband’s lamb dish was tender and delicious, but drowning in the sauce. There’s no need to try to pack so many different flavors when the food itself is so good!
