Highland Avenue - Hickory

Pleasant atmosphere with a good selection of food and wine available.

The changes being made at this restaurant are spot on. Food, service, everything has improved greatly. It is a new place in my mind.

We had a great experience. The food was awesome and our waitress was exceptional. We will definitely go back.

Highland is one of our go to places to eat. This past Friday, was an exception, though. I don't know if it was because of Queens Feast or the large parties that they had, but the entire staff seemed overwhelmed. Two of our three drinks arrived in a timely manner, but the third did not arrive until the appetizers came. The drinks were really good, as well as the appetizers. We had not finished our appetizers when our entrees arrived! Poor timing,for which our waitperson took credit. The braised chicken on the Queens Feast menu was just OK, nothing spectacular. Our other entree was a burger which arrived at the table RAW, and I mean raw!! By the time anyone checked to see how our dinner was, it was too late to send it back. The manager was nice enough to give us credit for it on our bill. The desserts, rice pudding, and green tea ice cream, were just okay. The rice pudding was served cold from an ice cream scoop! The Queens Feast menu was not very appealing! Highland usually does better than this!!

Very good food and service! Wonderful flavors in every bite!
