The story
The Heights Restaurant and H Bar has earned its place among Ithaca's dining landmarks, holding a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence — recognition that speaks to the seriousness with which the team approaches its cellar and its guests.
The kitchen works within the broad, sun-influenced tradition of American Mediterranean cuisine, a style that prizes fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, and dishes that feel both approachable and considered. That same spirit carries into the H Bar, where the cocktail program rounds out an evening that can move comfortably from a drink at the bar to a full dinner at the table.
Located on Hanshaw Road, The Heights draws diners looking for a reliable, elevated experience without pretense. The Wine Spectator recognition underlines what regulars already know: the wine list here is curated with genuine care, making it a natural companion to the Mediterranean-leaning menu. Whether you arrive for cocktails or settle in for dinner, the room rewards those who take their time.
