The Heights Restaurant & Bar, Upland, CA


It is absolutely fantastic to have a new restaurant and bar located down the street from The Colonies in Upland. Within the shopping center at Campus and 19th Street, there are only a few sit down restaurants and this one did not disappoint. Only open a few weeks, there was a bit of speculation on stopping in so soon. When you first walk in, you notice the large flat screen TV's in the bar. There was a baseball game on and most tables were taken with a few seats available at the bar. We went on a Sunday evening and didn't have a wait.

The hostess was welcoming as soon as we arrived and showed us right to our seat. We were sat in a large booth that could easily seat 6-7 people. It was just my wife and I and our 10 month old baby. The immediate atmosphere isn't overwhelming as the walls are a bit bare and the color is beige-ish. They definitely use a few pictures on the wall. We were promptly greeted at the table and the food came out quickly. When asked for recommendations, the server said that everything was good and she's tried everything on the menu and liked it all.

The food was great and very generous portions. The menu has quite a few unique items that you wouldn't normally see on at a restaurant/bar. With that being said, they do have the normal burgers, steaks, etc. They even had milkshakes! There food was priced for a middle to higher end restaurant bar, similar to a claim jumper, elephant bar pricing.

In terms of the "other" stuff...If you are looking for a quiet, sit down restaurant, this is not for you. It was about 75% full and was on the louder side. The server stated that is one of the only complaints they have had so far. Also, the main dining room fills up quickly. They do have a banquet room for parties up to 40, but open it up when they don't have a party for general dining or for those that want a more quiet experience.

Overall, we liked the food and would recommend it. We weren't overwhelmed, but weren't expecting over the top for a restaurant and bar. We'd definitely go back and look forward to our next trip there...right down the street from the Colonies.

Upland Colonies Catch Basin Improvments almost done!

Well its getting closer to completion and soon people will have more to do in the Upland Colonies! The San Bernardino County Flood Control District is about to start the final phase of the extensive improvements. Some of the improvements nearing completion include walking paths and a natural water table which will flow through the catch basin. The final phase will include irrigation piping and landscaping with native plants which are grown specifically for this project. There are many places to sit and enjoy the views of the nearby Mountains and even picnic tables for people to enjoy the outdoors.

Soon a natural water table will be allowed to flow through the basin which will also double as flood control.
Benches and walking paths provide great views of the San Bernardino Mountains
The flow of water can be controlled much easier with the new spillway installed.

Stations placed throughout the walking paths provide a place for dog lovers to clean up pet waste
