Matt asks: “is New Heights coming back to Woodley? There seems to be new signage outside, and a note on the door about deliveries. I walk by a couple times a week, maybe I’m seeing things, but maybe new signs of life?”
Another reader spoke with one of the new owners and writes: “it’ll have a revamped menu and the upstairs dining room has been renovated since she and her two partners bought it in September. The name stays the same.”
New Heights’ website says:
“Chef Jose and Olena have been friends for almost 6 years. Their friendship blossomed from their shared passion for opening their own restaurant someday. One night in 2020, they got together and started to seriously consider opening a unique restaurant together.
Over 15 years ago, our families left Ukraine and Bolivia and came to America for a better life. We settled in Virginia where our dreams of opening a family restaurant in America finally came true.
We’ve learned never to settle for less than the finest and freshest ingredients. We brought our tradition of hard work, desire for excellence, and most importantly Passion.
Chef Jose started cooking at the age of 16, his mentors taught him to respect each ingredient, make everything with passion, and be as creative as he can possibly be. Buying the best seasonal ingredients can make all the difference in the world. Growing up in Bolivia with Latin flavors had a powerful impact on him becoming the chef he is now and was his gateway to international influences. He enjoys the theater of cooking, and the searing sound from a cast-iron skillet is music to his ears. He loves using all his senses to create a perfectly balanced dish. New Heights is my American Dream.
Olena has a great passion for working with people and taking care of guests. She has a true passion for world-class service and believes in a proactive approach when it comes to Guest Experience. Olena will be leading the daily operations of the restaurant.”

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
