The Silver Heights Restaurant opened its doors at 2169 Portage Avenue in June, 1957. Former cabbie Anthony Siwicki Sr. had no idea it would still be going strong today! His operating philosophy was simple: “Provide your guests with quick and friendly service, and to serve fresh, delicious quality food at a reasonable price”…and to keep it that way. The restaurant is now in its third generation going forward.Silver Heights Restaurant was slowly transformed from a coffee shop into a lounge and dining room and bar. The adjoining hardware store on the East side became the dining room. In 1964 Tony bought out his three partners and his three sons Jim, Dave and Allan have grown the business.

Food was excellent, service was stellar! We ordered several types of macaroni and cheese, as well as appetizers to share and our server regularly checked back to top up our bread and drinks. Live music added to the ambience. They were responsive to our message requesting a reservation and then also allowed us to add another person. Excellent service and food, allowed us to have our meal and walk right over to the theatre, part of a great night!
