The restaurant replacing Roof in Woodmont Triangle is set for a Thursday opening. Urban Heights, from chef Robert Wiedmaier's restaurant group, will feature Philippine and Southeast Asian cuisine from executive chef Cliff Wharton. Wharton's Filipino heritage has led him to a menu mostly of small plates. There will be a tuna bar, Korean Bulgogi-style Steak Salad, Chicken Adobo Sliders and Xo Honey Glazed Shrimp and Pork Belly Bites with Gochujanamong, among other items. The second- and third-floor space at 7940 Norfolk Avenue used to be home to Roof, the restaurant and bar that closed in November. Wharton will use that outdoor third-floor roof space for pig roasts in an open pit. There will also be Far East-inspired "Island Cocktails," according to a press release announcing the opening.
