We dined here on a Tuesday evening. The service was great! We ordered all specials. The Chilean sea bass with gnocchi and the bone in ribeye with roasted potatoes. The appetizer was a shrimp and crab fritter that we shared. Everything we had was great. The ribeye was medium rare as I had requested. Everything beautifully arranged and plated.

Excellent full portions of food. Could not go wrong with the specials. Servers were helpful and friendly. It was slow so the sommelier was available to make good recommendations on the wine to go with our meal.

The Heights serve excellent seafood. They also have an extensive wine selection. We had the salmon collar with fried clams (the special for the day) and halibut (the fish of the day) for dinner. They didn't disappoint. There were chunky amounts of very fresh salmon in the salmon collar. The halibut was also very good. The dessert recommendations of Lava Chocolate Soufflé and the Heights Signature Chocolate Cake by Victoria, our very attentive and friendly server, hit all the right spots.

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 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.

Pleasant dining experience, the Octopus and Cauliflower appetizers were excellent. The entrees were fine but were not on the same level as the apps. The lava cake served its purpose. The dining room was very comfortable and service was on point

I had dinner at The Heights recently and it was excellent. I started with mussels which were perfectly cooked and then had a steak that was flavorful, tender, and well prepared. My server was knowledgeable, friendly, and checked in a few times during the meal which made me feel taken care of without being interrupted. The menu had a lot of dishes that looked good and I could have easily chosen something else and been just as happy. The crowd leaned more toward upscale and older which isn’t usually my scene but it matched the atmosphere of the place. I enjoyed my meal and would absolutely go back even if it’s not the kind of restaurant I’d make a regular stop.

This place is cute and the food was pretty good. Patrick was absolutely the best server. Would come back purely on customer service alone. For apps we ordered: -Sicilian Cauliflower -Pork belly Both were really good. The sauce with the pork belly was outstanding. Loved the pickles accoutrements as well For dinner we had: -the mahi mahi special of the day -the boneless tenderloin special -the bone-in tenderloin special All items were really good. My steak was HUGE. Each entree comes with soup or salad and the salmon minestrone was delicious. For dessert we had: The lava cake souffle This was delicious and should be ordered halfway thru your meal.

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.

I got the cranberry and brie pizza. The flavors clashed tremendously. The acidity of the tomato did not match the sweetness of the cranberry (craisens). I felt like I got more brocolli stem then brocolli head. The "crust" was very oily and salty. The "dough" seemed like it was made from a pita bread that everything was tossed on so it was very brittle and there was no structure to the pizza. I also don't think there was any balsamic drizzle added to my pizza. Also, the restaurant should rethink how they plate the pizza. The odd shapes of the slices gave me flashbacks of the Chuck E Cheese pizza scandal. Overall service was good and people were nice. I did ask for ranch to go with the pizza and they didn't have any which was disappointing too. The food was just very sad to me and felt very cheaply made especially for the price point.

Food was interesting. It was a lot of sweet and savory where the taste and flavor of the food was lost by the sticky and sweet sauces adorning the plate. Presentation of the plates was very good but too bad the dishes didn’t taste as good as they looked. The lava cake that they are so famously known for was also very underwhelming, again they doused it in sauce. It’s a shame that the quality of food doesn’t equate the high prices. Service was alright but the atmosphere made up for it.
