What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise The Heights for its stunning rooftop views, delicious wood-fired pizzas, and creative cocktails. Guests love the chic yet relaxed vibe, especially during sunset hours. Staff are often noted as being friendly and efficient, helping patrons get in and out smoothly before their events. Many call it a “must-visit” when in downtown Toledo.

Areas for Improvement

While the rooftop setting is a major draw, it can get busy and loud during peak concert nights—so it’s not the spot for a quiet dinner. Some guests mention longer wait times for tables, especially if you don’t have a reservation. And while the menu is solid, it's more about casual bites and drinks than a full fine-dining experience.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for great views, good food, and a fun vibe just steps from your concert, The Heights delivers every time.
