I've walked by 60 Vines many times and didn't give it much thought. Now I'm thinking about it a lot! The place is great! A family member asked to meet for lunch on Tuesday and Lisa, our experienced and personable server, gave us an excellent introduction to the restaurant... we loved it. They have 60 wines on tap so there's something to please everyone. Also, don't overlook the well-chosen wines by the bottle, fairly priced. But it's the fantastic food that made me perk up. The quality of the chow is impressive, an interesting menu... we loved everything we had. The ambiance is modern, casual, nicely designed with a lot of different seating areas, including a very cool long bar and outdoor seating.
Our lunch started with a couple of things to share... Wood Roasted Cauliflower w/ whipped eggplant, grilled flatbread, chili oil... Harissa Shrimp w/ cracked olives, braised fennel, garlic, parsley. Both amazing! On the lunch menu, I can highly recommend The Grilled Chicken Sandwich w/ whipped feta, bacon, arugula, marinated peppers, vine ripe tomato. I'll be back for this again... so good.
Sandwiches are served with Crispy Fingerling Potatoes. Loved them! I must warn you; they are habit forming!! Others had salads they loved too. Roasted Carrots: tri-color carrots, sage brown butter, and dill are fantastic. For dessert, the Basque Cheesecake is a winner.
I don't like to rave about a place after one visit, so I decided to return for dinner a few days later. I'll spare you the suspense... loved it! We had to have the Wood Roasted Cauliflower again, it's that good. The Caesar Salad: gem lettuce, radicchio, Caesar dressing, pecorino crisp... very good, super fresh... not your typical Caesar, the dressing is subtle. For my entrée, I had the Pork Chop, this alone is worth a trip here. Highest quality, tender, perfectly cooked on the grill, just delicious. Served with a side of their great Carrots, but I switched them for those insanely good Crispy Fingerling Potatoes I'm now addicted to. Wow!
We enjoyed the wines we ordered... Ferrari-Carano Fume Blanc, Paul Hobbs Chardonnay, for red the 50/50 By Joe Wagner. Our waiter, Michael, was awesome. If Lisa and Michael are representative of the rest of their staff, very impressive!
Such a great spot to enjoy fantastic food, nice wines, and excellent service served in a comfortable environment. Even the music they play is well chosen to enhance the experience. During dinner I had the opportunity meet their GM, Austin Schabel, who stopped by our table. I was impressed with his knowledge and the company's commitment to excellence. The concept started in Texas and there are 12 other locations. Management should be very proud of what they are doing here in Boca. Can't wait to return!
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
