I really hope Highlands reopens to the public soon! You can tell a lot about a restaurant by how well they execute the basics, and the best dish I've ever had in my 58 years was their heirloom tomato salad. It's been years since I last had it, but I can still remember the incredible taste - sliced heirloom tomatoes, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and a light vinaigrette drizzle. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water! Despite dining at many James Beard award-winning restaurants across the US, I always come back to this dish as my favorite. While Highlands is closed, I'll continue to enjoy meals at Chez FonFon's next door. Please reopen soon, Highlands!

Another favorite was the Stone Ground Baked Grits. The texture of the grit cake was great and the saltiness of the prosciutto paired perfectly with it. For entree's, I got a taste of the Veal and the Grass Fed Ribeye but my entree was the Seafood Medl...
