As someone who worked for Frank Stitt for 4 years, trying to summarize "what's good here" is laughable. All of his restaurants are phenomenal, but Highlands is special. Simply the best.

Local flavors include stone-ground organic grits, baked with sautéed mushrooms, country ham, Parmesan cheese, and served in a butter sauce with sherry vinegar and wine. Read more

For our money, you can’t beat the hickory grilled beef filet, served with wilted greens and new potatoes roasted in duck fat. Read more

Absolutely phenomenal! We had the baked grits appetizer ... It was recommended my many in the tips section. It didn't not disappoint. We also had the New Guinea hen risotto and short ribs ... Fab! ❤

Service was great! The Cadillac fish was very good. Good idea to make a reservation but sitting in the bar area is still a great experience. Would definitely go again.

Awesome dinner! Duck 2-ways, Endive & Watercress salad, good Martini and wine by the glass. Service was great. Menu changes regularly.

R.W. "Johnny" Apple, late writer for the NY Times, listed Highlands as the 5th best restaurant in the world, and he knew what he was talking about. You can see the article in the restaurant I think.

Loved everything. Mixed grill, seafood muddle, baked oysters and beef cheeks all excellent. I live in Manhattan and this blows pretty much everything there away.
