Unfortunately our dinner date was not a great experience this time around. the server did not introduce himself he was very short tempered and unfriendly. He spoke English, was an older Hispanic man but seemed overwhelmed with the work.
he didn’t make us feel welcome just took the order and kitchen staff brought the food.
Federal American grill downtown has great staffing thus we decided to try federal American grill again at the heights.
The experience was not pleasant. We paid almost 90 plus for each person. I took the dessert to go, as soon as I got home and opened it was the hardest chocolate brownie I ever had, rock like.
The Food was good to some extent, the kitchen did very well, the food was made accurately.
We still have the receipt to show the ill experience is authentic.

Did a 40th birthday here last Sunday. They moved us to a private room at no extra cost. Wonderful open space with plenty of room. Allowed us to bring in decorations, balloons,etc. Management and staff were very welcoming and attentive. One person ordered the fries green tomatoes with crab meat as an appetizer for the table and they were stupendous! Orders for brunch were varied but everyone was very pleased. We were not rushed – top quality all around. Thanks for a great birthday celebration!

We made reservations for a late dinner with a big party. The restaurant was not prepared. Our party included 24 people and we only had one server who clearly needed help. We asked for a manager after he took our order 2 times and then came back again trying to verify who had what. The restaurant did provide us with a complimentary appetizer. But from the looks of it the other guest were waiting a while for their food as well. Once we received our food, it was flavorful. We paid our bill in good timing. But I will say a 9pm reservation should not turn into closing the restaurant.

Went on Mothers Day and it was great! Parking is either across the street or you can do complimentary valet. The menu for Mothers Day was very good. Food excellent and the service was on point. There’s indoor or outdoor dining plus a nice bar. We will be back!

Lillian was our server this time! All the servers we have had are super knowledgeable about the menu, they know the products they don’t and do have, and the drinks and food were superb! We typically have the seafood plates like sea bass, crusted snapper, blackened mahi and their chicken. All very good and the butter cake was delicious. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite spots now! Thanks HRW! My blackened ahi tuna was cooked to perfection of medium as requested! The best flavor and taste combo with the couscous. Old Fashions are my favorite and mine were made fantastic.

Service was very slow at first but then it picked up. It took 2 hours for a party of 2 to have a 2 course hrw lunch. I wouldn’t call the service fine dining but the food was excellent and so were the old fashions!

Lillie was AMAZING! Patient with our party and variable arrivals. She was helpful to instrumenting our birthday celebration and assisted with taking pictures (with location suggestions). The food was delicious, I recommend the HH menu (sliders, fried green tomatoes) and yummy food options. I think they sometimes run on HRW, I look forward to returning and the valet parking was friendly, providing great service.

What a GREAT experience. The atmosphere is just right, upscale but not stuffy or pretentious. The service was top-notch. The menu selection has a little bit of everything. In addition to the great food, the selection of spirits is impressive. I opted for the Cheese Steak, and wow, quite literally the best I have ever tasted. We were a [arty of 8, each of us had a different menu selection and everyone was very pleased with the quality of their meal. Amazing experience all the way around. We will be back.
