    My friend and I snagged last minute Valentine’s Day reservations and had the best experience. From being seated immediately, to the food — our experience was a 10/10. We expected a bit of a wait due to the holiday, and we did have that. But the exceptional service we received from Crystal, our server, more than made up for it. She was communicative, funny and warm despite being swamped with tables. We ordered a lot from the menu and every single thing was delicious! The wings and the sweet potato cheesecake were our favorites. We will definitely be back and thank the staff so much for their hard work and hospitality.

    I booked the Eagle for dinner because my wife was craving soul food. We got the hush puppies, fried chicken, blt chicken sandwich, mashed potatoes, Mac & cheese and corn bread. The food was soooooooooo good. Best Mac & cheese I’ve ever had at a restaurant! We also got a peach drink (I can’t find it on the menu) and the Bourbon Punch, both were fantastic. We loved everything about our experience. Our waitress was also very good and just the right amount of attentive.

    The Heights never disappoints! We have been here many times to enjoy the unique cocktails and eclectic food options on their menu. No two experiences are the same. When you add the view and the ambience of location, it is always a win!
